Red High Heels

You know, that new song by Kellie Pickler, the girl that was on American Idol.

I have it stuck in my head, it's been stuck in my head for about a week now and I can't get rid of it. I even thought that if I got it off iTunes and put it on my iPod that would help, nope.

It's stuck stuck stuck! And the worst part, it's just the chorus!

It's a cute, girly song but after almost 2 weeks I'm done with it :)


Baby I’ve got plans tonight
You don’t know nothin’ about
I’ve been sitting around way too long
Trying to figure you out
But you say that you’ll call and you don’t
And I’m spinning my wheels
So I’m going out tonight
In my red high heels

I’m gonna call up that old boyfriend
Who says he has it bad for me
I’m gonna take him into town
Flaunt him around for everyone to see
Well you said so yourself
You know the deal
Nobody holds a candle to me
In my red high heels

Well you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I’ll bet you want me back now don’t you, don’t you
I’m about to show you just how missin’ me feels
In my red high heels

All those games you tried to play
Well they aint gonna work on me now
I put up a barbed wire fence
around my heart
Baby just to keep you out
Well you thought I’d wait around forever
But baby get real
I just kicked you to the curb
In my red high heels

Oh you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I’ll bet you want me back now don’t you, don’t you
I’m about to show you just how missin’ me feels
In my red high heels

Oh you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I’ll bet you want me back now don’t you, don’t you
I’m about to show you just how missin’ me feels

Oh you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I’ll bet you want me back now don’t you, don’t you
I’m about to show you just how missin’ me feels
In my red high heels

In my red high heels
In my red high heels

Top 10 in 2006

I can't believe 2006 is over, there were highs and lows, tears of joy and tears of sadness.

Stacy had the challenge for this week be your Top 10 in 2006. Here are mine in no particular order:

10. New Glasses. Sounds a bit anti-climatic huh? It had been at least 5 years, possibly longer since I had new glasses. I always wear contacts and would wear an old, old pair of glasses at home, one day they finally broke so I was without. I got Vision insurance from work and with it was able to get new contacts and glasses, and my glasses were paid for!
Not a great picture, but only one I found where I was wearing glasses


9. Road Trip to Sonic


For my birthday Dawnn, Skye and I went down to Ft Wayne, Indiana to Sonic. I was lucky that a month or so later I got to go down there and met a fellow Scrapshare Sister, ReneinOH


8. Eric Clapton
I've been a big Clapton fan for a long time and have always wanted to see him in concert and when I found out he was going to in Grand Rapids In September I jumped on it, I got lucky and went with Jim and 2 close friends and we had 11th row seats! Talk about concert of a lifetime!




7. Zoo Mania
I love animals and zoo's and was so lucky to get to visit 4 zoo's this past summer in Michigan, Ohio, and Washington.


6. Scrapbooking retreats
I was very lucky to go to several scrapbooking retreats this year, the first one was in April on Lake Michigan. I only stayed for 1 night since I had a previous engagement, but while I was there we had tons of fun and I even got some work done in my album!


5. Going Home
In August I was lucky enough to go home for my Dad's birthday and to spend time with my family and go to my first Scrapshare retreat!


4. Scrapshare Washington 2.5 Retreat
My first Scrapshare retreat! When I told Heidi I was coming home in August she helped organize the WA 2.5 retreat so I could attend! I had so much fun getting to know these ladies.



3. Willow
2006 saw Abbie getting a little brother! I am not home alot so I felt badly leaving Abbie alone alot and decided she needed a companion, and I thought I could use another one too :)


2. Cleveland Rocks
In July Jim and I went to Cleveland for a long weekend, and to celebrate his birthday. While we were there we went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Hard Rock Cafe, Cleveland Zoo to see the koala's, and I surprised him with tickets to a Cleveland Indians baseball game for his birthday!


1. Jim
I just got really lucky with him ... I wasn't looking for anything and I found it :)


Wishing everyone a great 2007!

Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum and Library

Tonight before the hockey game Jim and I went to the Gerald R. Ford museum to sign the condolence book. The museum is closed right now but they have opened the lobby for the public to come in and sign the book. I thought it would be a good thing to bring Flat Lauren to also.

These are just a few of the pictures from tonight. The rest are on my film camera and it will be a few weeks until they are back.

The sign at the museum:



Out in front of the museum people have been gathering to pay their respects and have left alot of items and candles. Another thing I noticed was all of the news crews, the local ones plus CNN, NBC in NY (we think it may be The Today Show) and Fox. Then it kind of hit me that this is going to be huge and Grand Rapids will be seen from around the world!

The sign out in front of the museum:




Flat Lauren and I in front of the sign and museum. (Please ignore the extra chins)



I have at least a dozen more pictures on my film camera, I will post them when I get them also.
