What songs mean?

Hey y'all!
 
Have you ever wondered what songs mean? Here is what I thing 2 top songs mean.
Number 1: Happy by Pharrell Williams.
Verse 1: It might seem crazy what I’m about to say. Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break. I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way.

-So what I get from this is: he thinks that he is perceived as crazy for being in love with a girl that he thinks is as pretty as sunshine. He does not care about where he goes in a hot air balloon which technically speaking can never take you to space because the atmosphere will kill you and the balloon. 
Chorus: Because I’m happy. Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof. Because I’m happy. Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth; Because I’m happy. Clap along if you know what happiness is to you; Because I’m happy. Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do.
-If you're happy and you know, it clap your hands! He has no limits to height or happiness or clapping. This one section is sung 6 times! 
Rest of the song: Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah. Well, give me all you got, and don’t hold back, yeah. Well, I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine, yeah. No offense to you, don’t waste your time. Here’s why (chorus). Hey come on. Bring me down. Can't nothing bring me down. My level's too high. Bring me down. Can't nothing bring me down, I said. Bring me down. Can't nothing bring me down. My level's too high. Bring me down. Can't nothing bring me down, I said (chorus twice). Hey come on. Bring me down… can’t nothing… Bring me down… my level's too high… Bring me down… can’t nothing… Bring me down, I said (chorus). Come on.
-Literally, he is so happy that nothing said can deplete his levels of happiness. Is the girl his happiness? Or is "she" happiness? What do y'all think? This song is mostly repetition. It is also number one on iTunes right now. Really. 
Number 2: Dark Horse by Katy Perry (ft Juicy J) 
Part 1: (talking and introduction) I knew you were. You were gonna come to me and here you are but you better choose carefully ‘cause I, I’m capable of anything, of anything and everything. Make me your Aphrodite, make me your one and only, but don’t make me your enemy, your enemy, your enemy.
-Its basically a warning to whomever at this part. "Chose carefully" then it goes on to say that it is whomever's choice of how she is to them. It is like in life when we say I can be a friend or an enemy but in a song. Never realized it.
Chorus and Part 2:  "So you wanna play with magic, boy, you should know what you're falling for baby do you dare to do this? Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse, are you ready for, ready for a perfect storm, perfect storm cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine there’s no going back." Mark my words; this love will make you levitate like a bird, like a bird without a cage. But down to earth, if you choose to walk away, don’t walk away.
-She furthers the warning. I am getting a vibe that if you dare hurt me I will hurt you in a much more physical manner. Or she is gonna lock him in her basement and throw away the key. It's debatable. 
Part 3 and Chorus: It’s in the palm of your hand now baby. It’s a yes or no, no maybe, so just be sure before you give it all to me, all to me, give it all to me. "So you wanna play... There’s no going back"
-It is the guys choice as to what happens now. She wants him to think before he acts like in a chess game. Then the message is reassured that it is basically life or death decision with no in between. It is very causal.
Final bit: Uh, she’s a beast. I call her Karma. She eats your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer. Be careful, try not to lead her on shorty’s heart is on steroids cause her love is so strong. You may fall in love when you meet her. If you get the chance you better keep her, she's sweet as pie but if you break her heart, she'll turn cold as a freezer. That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor, she can be my Sleeping Beauty. I’m gon’ put her in a coma. Woo! Damn I think I love her.Shorty so bad, I’m sprung and I don’t care. She ride me like a roller coaster. Turned the bedroom into a fair. Her love is like a drug. I was tryna hit it and quit it, but lil' mama so dope. I messed around and got addicted. (Chorus)
-Well things got serious now. Juicy J has summed this song up to being about karma. You hurt the girl, she hurt you. I think the lyric about she is a sweetie pie until you hurt her is quite accurate for all girls. That is how we are. We hold grudges, constantly seek revenge and will cut you if you remotely hurt us. This song is what I have now discovered to be a message about that for all boys. It is Katy Perry's PSA to all boys. I love it.  
So today, I have learned that Pharrell Williams is happy. Katy Perry wants to protect all from broken hearts. The world is spinning with people clapping as dark horses roam the world. Let me know if you want more of these.
Love y'all!

What the Olympics have taught us!

Hey y'all!
 
Official Medal Count
  1. Russia has a really bad stray dog situation
    DOGGIE!

  2. Aerials are super scary
    Mac Bohonnon landed on his back and ended up in the hospital coughing blood.
  3. When the buzzer goes on a luge track, get off the track
    The poor luge worker who won broken legs during competition.
  4. Canadian Ice dancers do not take losing lightly 
    They were bashing on their coach after Meryl and Charlie won.
  5. Meryl and Charlie are sadly not dating
    This is supposedly Charlie White's girlfriend.
  6. Track stars make good bobsledders who are great at breaking down doors
    If you are unaware, a group of girls from summer
    Olympics track started a bobsledding team.
    Johnny Quinn got stuck.
     
  7. Always test your outfits out before competition day
    Poor, poor USA but the boys did get a silver in relay!
  8. If you are an inspiring or current Olympian Russia is the place to go
    Vic Wilde moved to Russia after USA
    didn't financially support him.
    Viktor Ahn moved from South Korea after battling with coaches.
  9. A country can run out of salt. I have no picture for that.
  10. The most inspiring thing. Greatness comes out of unexpected places.
    Joss Christensen was not an original
     member but a coaches choice. He won gold.
    Adelina Sotnik was not the girl that all were rooting for.
    She too won gold.

Really Boys?

Hey y'all!

So I do not totally understand something, how is it that Tucker West and Nick Goepepper do not have girlfriends? Unless they are secretly total jerks or have just not tried to date, they should have been had girls to date. They are too hot to have to result to a hashtag on Twitter and daddy on the Today Show asking for girls. Personally I do not think those are the best means to find a girl but hey its their life.
 
How have these guys continued to be single? I do not understand because a) they have pretty smiles b) they seem to have a heart and c) which for me is a must, they are driven. The thing that I love most about Olympians or major athletes is that they are driven and passionate about something which will transfer to a relationship making it stronger as long as both people work for it.

 For extra man candy it is Mr Roman Schaad of Switzerland on the left and gold medal winner Joss Christensen on the right.
  Roman is just so pretty. Joss is extremely awkward in selfies which is just adorable to me. Oh goodness my girliness is coming out.

Who is y'all's favorite Olympians?
Love y'all!

Graduation Steps!

Hey y'all!

So if you did not know, I am graduating in May. Graduation entails many little activities and social etiquette things to do like graduation announcements, registries, thank you cards and if you are like me scholarships while doing school work and you have to fit in going to a college orientation during all of this stuff. My mind is now exploding thinking of all that I have to do. Thank you society!
Graduation Postcard -- Fresh FutureI am going to take this couple of months one day and task at a time though. Plus, thanks to Pear Tree Greetings and their super efficient schedule I am almost done with one thing on my checklist. I got my graduation announcements in the mail today and love them. This is the one that I ordered except mine doesn't have that stranger on it. It has a baby photo, toddler and my first Communion photo along with a cute professional one and a silly selfie. I love it and excited to know my family's reactions toward it. Below is cute too.
Valentine Photo Cards -- Heart Paper Chain
Next step is probably going to be orientation so that I can register for college classes. Hint: sooner you go to orientation, the better chance you have to get the needed classes. While I am waiting for my orientation date, I am working on scholarships. Scholarships are time consuming! You have to sit down, type out lots of words and occasionally send in things other than the essay that you spent hours perfecting. All of this work for money. It is a part of life I guess.
I mentioned to you in a previous post about my plan for thank you cards, so I won't mention it now, but I will show y'all when I do them.
I have not a clue what to put on my registries. I know towels, bedding but I don't know what I need! I think I just want to ask for gift cards and cash. I will let you know what I put on them when I do them in April.

Comment your thoughts and suggestions! Also let me know if you would like me to refer you to Pear Tree Greetings for $20 off your first order. They have lots other than graduation things like the Valentine's Day card that is cute and funny.
Love you!

Olympics!

Hey y'all!

I love the Olympics! This time is my favorite time period ever! The fandom mixed with the hot athletes mixed with excitement it is ahhh!
So Sochi opening ceremony aired last night, it was definitely original and I felt so bad for Russia when the fifth circle failed right at the beginning. I would have cried if I was the engineer behind that.
I heard that Russia wanted to make the Ceremony like China's from six years ago. To an extent, I think that they did but I personally liked London's the best. London kept my attention with all of the performances (plus I could understand them) but I do like the technology that Russia brought to the table. The Olympic God lights where really pretty.
The Olympics are where I feel like athletes get their full recognition for what they do. I don't pay attention to who wins what any other time then these moments (Olympics). I know I am not the only other one to do this either. At the Olympics, they get to be with other people who risk life, time and hundreds of dollars. They do this and push them selves for this event where they get full recognition and to walk into the Opening Ceremony and stand there for their country and prove their worth. These medals are like a symbol saying "Hey I didn't waste my time!" "You all who said I couldn't do it were wrong!"
People like him who are the only ones from their country bring so much pride and deserve so much more. He is from Bermuda and there are others who are the only ones from their country or the first one to send their country to the winter Olympics. They make me proud. They have been dealt the most crap probably in their lives and they pushed through to get to that ceremony and hold the flag for their country.
 This guy, Antonio Pardo, made me smile so much last night. He did what I would probably do if I was a lone athlete. He danced, jumped and ran with the flag. He is from Venezuela, a Alpine skier and a survivor. He had a brain tumor about 35 years ago. The surgery pluralized half of his body but he has since been able to recover completely and ready to represent his country. He is an inspiration with his saying "do it because you love it" and clearly he loves his country, life and skiing.
This is what the Olympics are about: love. Love for a sport. Love for your country. Love for life. Love for the world and what it brings us.

I hope y'all enjoy life.
Love y'all!

Valentine Cards

Hi Y'all!

Here is some hearts made of shoes and feet that my friend and I did at the movies!
So I have been extremely into Pinterest lately, it's beginning to get unhealthy for my email with all the notifications from Pinterest. But my email shall survive. I like to look at the DIY page because how cute some of the ideas people come up with are. If I was to strive to do what some of these people do, it would be ugly but I can admire them. The stores have probably been ready for Valentine's Day for like 2-3 months now but it only now about that time. A scholarship that I did for Do Something had me make Valentine's Day cards for the elderly. I made mine then looked at Pinterest (dumb move) to be blown away by some ideas that people come up with. How do they do it? I just do not know.

look how cute these are for babies


  I love the Birthday one and all the details in the right one.

 Little kid things like this warms my heart to the tips of my toes.

         I know the p.s I love you isn't a card but it could be. The one with the heart and circle is so simple which I see is the best way to show love. You could show love everyday which is why Valentine's Day confuses me. Why do we need a special day to show love? Marketers are the only reason I know. But the thank you card has inspired me to make my own Thank You cards for graduation. I will let you know how they turn out.I know I am not the biggest fan of Valentine's Day but I hope you all have a great day!Love y'all!

Etsy

Hey y'all!
Recently I opened up an Etsy shop to sell my Daddy's potholders. I thought I would make a post to help explain the potholders and their deals. Here is the link to the shop: store






 The potholders are a 5.5" by 5.5" square, 100% cotton and American made. 

These are the colors that are available plus orange which I forgot to put in the circle. 

 So potholders can be made woven into numerous patterns and have a number of color combinations. These photos are only a a hand full of the different patterns that my father has made. As shown, there are holiday, sports and rainbow themed potholders. 

If you have any questions feel free to comment and I will answer. 
Oh price, single potholders are being sold for $4.50 and a pair is $9.00! You also get to pick colors and can even pick the pattern.
Love y'all!
