I need a yellow taxi cab today
I need your taxi cab to take me away
I need a yellow taxi cab today
So take us, driver, take us far away...
if you've never listened to matt costa.. well, you really should. the first time i heard one of his songs was when my friend Allison was singing in a lounge on Corydon. It was so catchy and fun, and I went home and downloaded it.. and have been a matt costa fan ever since. some days i listen to his cd over and over again, it is delightful.
anyway, as i was driving today i was marveling at the fact that its RAINING in MARCH! not snowing, raining. and if you know me, you know that i love rain. i love gray days, when the rain falls and the puddles grow. when you have to wear rubber boots to avoid being soaked, and have to run to your car so you don't get drenched. i love sitting inside and feeling warm. i love to sip a warm drink and watch the puddles dance. gray days don't make me feel gray, but rather they cheer me up (odd i know!)
so, unlike the lyrics i started this post with.. i don't want to be taken far away! i am enjoying the rain falling out my window. although.. i wouldn't mind being taken "far away" to the cabin. it's at this time of the year that i'm really itching to be out there, spending countless hours with my family, playing games, watching movies, being together even though we're all doing separate things, warm in front of the fire... can't wait! and this year we get to go with Everett! man, that will be wonderful.
this week started with a split. on tuesday morning i twisted to get out of our car (which is SO LOW to the ground!!) and heard a little rip. i walked into work and was getting my breakie ready, when my MIL (mother in law :) ) says "ASHLEY! YOUR SKIRT IS RIPPED!" and basically told me she could see my bum! and sure enough, there it was, ripped. thankfully (and oddly) i had a dress in my car, so my MIL ran out to get it. then one man in our office would not leave the staff room, he just kept chatting, not at all realizing that we were trying to end the conversation so he could leave. he left, and then kyle came in and i said "you've got to be kidding me!!" and told him he needed to go because my skirt was ripped! he left, and i finally changed. as my mom said later when I told her "well, that was a REAL bummer!" ha, so true. and now michael & i have another reason to want a new vehicle.. Rav4 here I come! (not forsure a Rav4, but thats my favorite choice currently!)
so it was a rough start, but the rain is enough to make the week better!
