Lyrics on my mind: You Save Me

This song just came on my iPod.  Sometimes it feels as though I'm the person he's singing about.  Just waiting for the person God has planned for me, the person who's going to help me make sense of this crazy life.


Every now and then

I get a little lost
The strings all get tangled
The wires all get crossed
Every now and then
I’m right upon the edge
Danglin’ my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you’re here


(Chorus)
['Cause] when I’m a bullet shot out of a gun
['Cause] when I’m a firecracker comin’ undone
When I’m a fugitive ready to run
All wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me


It’s hard lovin’ a man
That’s got a gypsy soul
I don’t know how you do it
I’m not sure how you know
The perfect thing to say
To save me from myself
You’re the angel that believes in me
Like nobody else
And I thank God you do

(Chorus)


Well I know I don’t tell you nearly enough
I couldn’t live one day without your love

When I’m a ship tossed around on the waves
Up on a high wire that’s ready to break
When I’ve had just about all I can take
Baby, you,
Baby you save me

(Chorus)

We went out last night

Drank too much beer last night, lot more than we wanted to.

It was seemingly innocuous.  Meet up with Mark and Kaylan at the bar, have a few beers and a plate of wings.  Chat for a while, enjoy good company. Go home, bed, work in the am.

Mark didn't have to work today.  He had free reign to drink, as I'd offered him a couch if necessary.  That was the start of the problem.  Next problem, we had a shot.  Thankfully Kaylan (the best bff a girl can ask for) was willing to stay sober, and be our driver.  This allowed for more drinks, on a Thursday night, with work at 8am the following morning.

We successfully made it back to my condo just after 1, Mark passed out on the couch, Kaylan and I in my bed.  This morning was a reminder of last night's poor choices. 

Sometimes though, you just have to have fun, and I laughed more last night than I have in a long long time.  Today might be a bit rough, but I'd do it again on another Thursday night.

Working out is working.

Here are my current stats:

5'7
152 lbs
Chest 35"
Waist 29"
Hips 42"

That's a total of 28 lbs lost since last April.  I'm pretty happy with the direction the scale is going.

Working out tonight as well.

Wow

I missed a whole month.  I guess I've been busy.  Out of town with work for a bit, and working every weekend at the bar.  I'm a bit troubled that I haven't gotten any beer tub shifts since my 3rd weekend there, and am beginning to think I may need to look at working elsewhere.

Christmas was alright. I missed being with my family, and am definitely looking forward to a visit with them soon.

The roommate situation is becoming more and more tenuous daily.  I'm having a hard time with having him there.  I really need to figure things out to make enough that I don't need him.

That said, I kinda sucked at the whole progress on credit cards thing over December, but I'm back to being focused on getting rid of that debt now again.
