  • Jan 4, 2016 - I'm not sure why I bother closing the bathroom door. Inevitably, one of the 4 ninjas in the next room opens it, walks across the bathroom, comes up behind me in the closet, and it's always, Always, ALWAYS when I'm in the process of pulling up my pants. I turn around still not knowing someone is there and jump out of my skin as I see Adrian standing there with a smirk on his face telling me, "I saw your nuts, Mommy."

Country Music, Fruit, and Romance

3/2/2018

I have hated country music for my entire life. But then one day, years ago, I heard Nelly was doing a song with Tim McGraw, and I was like "Huh?" I had a similar reaction the first time I ate a savory dish with fruit in it... "Huh?" Turns out, rap and hip hop blend really well with country music... at least for my ears. And grapes do something magical to chicken salad. Nelly did it again later with Florida Georgia Line, and by then I was adding fruit to a multitude of savory dishes on the regular... one having nothing to do with the other, of course. I'm just saying.
I started catching myself tapping my foot in a restaurant to a pop-ish country song I didn't even realize I was listening to, and then I found myself singing a song and turning it up when I was flipping music stations and learning that the guy who sang it was named Luke Bryan. I YouTubed him and found some of his other songs, realizing I really liked them. 
So today I still hate country music for the most part, but I actually have some on my playlist that I keep on regular rotation... and I may have a little fantasy that someone out there could have written those songs just for me (I'm a sucker for romance... and Luke Bryan makes me feel sooo special singing those songs to me. 😜)
Anyway, I'm sure I'll hear other country songs down the road that I like and - who knows? - one day maybe I'll be a full-fledged country music fan. Nah... don't push it. And don't try to put pineapple on my pizza either. I draw the line somewhere before there.
So...
Today on my drive back from Tulsa to Dallas where I had entirely too many hours of thinking on my hands, I was listening to Luke Bryan's Drunk On You, and I couldn't help but think that if someone HAD written that song JUST for me, or maybe just dedicated it to me over the radio... wait, they don't do this anymore, do they? Ok, say they put it on my mixed tape... oh, wait... anyway, suppose they just TOLD me that the song reminded them of me, my first reaction would probably be "awwww, that's so sweet", and I think most people would have that first reaction too. But then that line "If you're not a 10 you're a 9.9" would play, and I just know someone out there would be saying, "Wait. What's up with that .1?" And then too much thinking and over analysis would happen and she'd say, "So who DO you think is a 10?" And then she'd be sad about something that was intended to make her feel special. And I'm not talking about me here, but I know some of you are identifying with this right now because I'm really good friends with some of you. 😂😂 Sure you might add some unnecessary drama to the universe, but you also add passion, excitement, and probably some fun "making up" after your tantrum... at least that's what I hear. 
Anyway, I digress... Luke Bryan keep singing to me... making my heart all a flutter with your lyrics.
I wish I had a Waldorf salad about now...
