Retail Therapy

"Under My Tree" - NSYNC

I woke up abruptly this morning. My dream was so tangled up in my head that I couldn't, even if I tried to, explain what caused me to open my eyes too soon. It bothered me and I was still tired. This much I knew. The time read 9:00am, which to anyone who knows me would know it was way too early for me, especially for a Sunday. I tossed and turned, but my mind was done sleeping. My heart was too. I could've easily stayed in bed a while longer, watched some TV and made it another lazy day, but that's just not my style. When things bug me enough to keep me awake, that's a sign to get out of bed and do something. And that's exactly what I did.

Today was the day to stop being anti-festive. I dragged my little sis, grabbed the NSYNC Home for Christmas CD, put my game face on and took on what most would cower away from: Christmas shopping on a weekend. I knew it would be hell, but I love it when I'm in a mood to be productive and this time I had a wish list to grant. An earlier start equals a much greater advantage. This I learned in my 7-years working in retail. Don't wait until the crowd comes in and don't settle for less than what you want. I was on a mission and I knew I wasn't going to go home empty-handed.

5-hours later, powered by a Great Kahn meal and Tiramisu gelato, I rolled out with 2 pairs of knee-high boots, 3 pairs of sexy leggings, 3 pairs of comfy, furry socks, a knitted gray hoodie and the Practical Magic DVD! Did I mention that these were just for me? Hee, hee, hee! But of course I wasn't completely stingy, I also carried out a big box for my niece, stocking stuffers for 5 lucky people, 4 fun-filled bags and a special order on the way. It was so overwhelming, I had to make a trip to the car to unload in order to come back for more! It's kinda funny, I thought this year I would sulk and chicken out by giving everyone gift cards. Guess it's true what they say, shopping is definitely a great way to cope and this girl's got her strut back! Watch out malls because I ain't quite done yet!

Thanks, NSYNC. I knew you would do the trick ;).

Lyrics:

It's that time of year
Christmas is here
Everybody's back together again
Spreading the joy,
Spreading good cheer
Toasting to another year's end
So thankful for,
All of our friends
When the party is over,
The night's just begun
I promise the best part
Is yet to come
Slow dance together,
Two become one
That's what we've waited all day for

No one else but me and you
Nothing I would rather do
Then hold you all through the night
Under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and low
I'll show you how good it could be.
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful
Under my tree

The fire's aglow
We've got Nat King Cole
Singing us a song from his heart
Sleigh bells and snow
Makes us feel close
To the stars
When carols are sung and
The fire has died
The embers still burns with the love in our eyes
We cherish the moment
We savor the night
That's what we've waited all day for

No one else but me and you
Nothing I would rather do
Then hold you all through the night
Under my tree
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and low
I'll show you how good it could be.
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful
Under my tree

No one but me
No one but you
See rendez-vous (under my tree)
No one but me
No one but you

When the party is over,
The night's just begun
I promise the best part
Is yet to come
We slow dance together,
Two become one
That's what we've waited all day for

No one else but me and you
Nothing I would rather do
Then hold you all through the night
Under my tree (under my tree)
Bring along the mistletoe
Keep the music nice and low
I'll show you how good it could be.
I wish that Santa could be here to see
I wish that Santa could be here to see

No one else but me and you
Nothing I would rather do
Then make all your dreams come true
Under my tree
Such a cozy rendez-vous
Just relax enjoy the view
I'll show you how could it could be.
I wish that Santa could be here to see
It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful under my tree

Christmas is here
It's that time of year
Christmas is here
Full of love and good cheer.

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...

UnBreakable Me

"Like A G6 & Bass Down Low" - Far East Movement, The Cataracs, & Dev I promised every week at the least. For Me. This is me keeping my promise. For Me. Cuz it's what I've been doing. For Me. And it's what I'll always do. For Me. Lyrics: If you wanna get with me There's some things you gotta know I like my beats fast And my bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Ba-ba-bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (Drop it to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Popping bottles in the ice, like a blizzard When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 (808) Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I...
