Songs in My Head
Posted on 04. Jun, 2008 by Deb in On a Jet Plane, Paying the Bills, The Girl
I’m a long-time country fan and the last “album” i purchased was the George Strait “Troubadour“. I typically listen, at least once through, anything I buy – and for some reason, the song going through my head the most Patty Loveless called “House of Cash”. I don’t tend to watch much TV when I’m in my room, but I do play music when I’m getting ready and sometimes at night….it has been the first song I play on itunes all week. I have to, because the song is going through my head anyway, so I play it to pull it out for a bit.
Speaking of Itunes, my itunes went funky on me last night, and all of my audio books disappeared – they are still in the “purchased” listing, but that is all. I have been listening to books at night as I fall asleep. I created a playlist to list them all, but it’s odd, isn’t it, that it did that? Is it an Itunes thing – or a Vista thing?
Work has been very good this week, stressful slightly earlier, but yesterday and today have been fabulous. I love a sense of accomplishment – and really enjoy the ability to make progress. I am still very passionate about the particular contract I am working on – though I am doing some dabbling in other things.
I had a great chat with George Pellecanos last night. He is the “Man of the Month” for the August issue of ATG. He had a nice dry sense of humor and he loves the DC area – so we had some common ground. his new book, The Turnaround, is due out in August. FABULOUS story by the way.
The Pilot Guy is on my brain a bit…or should I say in my heart. I saw him just a couple of weeks ago when we got together to celebrate my birthday. On Saturday, he was driving (moving) and when I asked if he was bored or lonely, he said yes, and then asked me to meet him. I called AA to see what kind of flights there were to the spot he had picked to stop for the night – and while I could get there, getting back to DC would have been a long drawn out affair, so I said I just couldn’t. I had work I needed to do as well before Monday morning. I had a very nakedly honest moment with him when we talked later that night and told him how I was feeling – and where my head was. I am too honest for my own good sometimes. I am actually feeling a little lonely for his company this week – but I am sure I will get over it. I am actually in the mood to visit with his buddy from RIC as well – I am needing the humor – and the ability to be myself – and to be with people outside of work.
C’est La Vie….
the Weather in the DC area is kind of scary. Lots of rains, tornado warnings. I typically sleep with the blinds open, but I am thinking of closing them to shut out the scary thunder and lightening tonight. I know it’s only 9 PM, but I am getting ready to go to bed. In fact, I’ve already taken off my make-up and have my jammies on.
I hope that you are well and have lovely songs in your head and loving thoughts in your heart. Happy Hump Day! Sweet dreams, my friends…..
