Sugarland

I've gotten into country music lately because of my boyfriend. I've always thought it was okay and knew I could probably like it if I listened to it more, but I just never had the motivation to sit down and look up songs. Now I love hearing country on the radio! haha Anyway, today I heard Sugarland's "Stuck Like Glue," which is a catchy song despite its irrelevance to my life (except for the being stuck on someone parts), on the radio today and listened to a bunch of her songs on Youtube. By the way, Captain Awesome (Devon = Ryan McPartlin from the TV show, Chuck) is one of the lead dudes in that music video.

I like this part from "Something More":

"Some believe in destiny, and some believe in fate
I believe that happiness is something we create"

Me too.

This is a good video with good lyrics one too: "All I Want To Do" - you have no idea how much I want to just chill with Blake.

Adding to the Bucket List?

I think it'd be pretty neat to experience what Frances Mayes heard in Portugal:

"Some cousins of Ferdinand the Bull relax in the shade. They gleam like polished copper, and each wears a bell. All the sheep wear bells, too, and when we stop, little symphonies are playing all over the rolling countryside."
--A Year in the World: Journeys of a Passionate Traveller

Wouldn't that be cool to hear? There are so many little things like that that make life extra enjoyable. I want to learn more about random things like this!

There are plenty of sheep in the U.S. Anyone wanna go find some and attach bells to a few hundred of them? :P

So Grateful!

I know Thanksgiving is awhile away still, but I have to make a list of the things for which I've been thankful lately (in no particular order):

* Sweet, genuinely friendly people
* Warm water
* Detailed but still interesting (i.e., not boring) travel books like The Geography of Bliss and A Year in the World
* Blake!
* Streetlights
* Music
* Lotion
* The internet
* Air conditioners
* Hair ties
* Caring, supportive family
* Volleyball socks (when I'm not playing, they keep me so warm!)
* Access to plentiful, delicious food
* Amazing friends
* Vacuums

Kinda random...I know.
