Sometimes I just put my entire iTunes library on shuffle when I’m driving home, which is hit or miss as far as a song coming on that actually matches your current mood (that’s huge for me). One day, it was on shuffle, and this song by Tristan Prettyman came on and struck a chord with me. It was exactly the song I needed to hear at that exact moment. Sometimes I think my iPod is intuitive. Either way, I’ve had her CD for a while now, I just never really listened to it. I have 10,700+ songs on my iPod, you think I’ve heard each one? I think not.

So, take a listen, look at some lyrics and enjoy my iPod-on-shuffle-in-the-car-find.

God gave me patience
Patience to breath
God give me reasons
To not cry anymore about anything

God give me time
Time to think this through
God give me something
Something to keep my mind
Off missing you

And in the afternoon while the sun gets low
I wish I there was some other direction to drive
Somewhere else to go
But there’s always one more thing I have to prove
There’s always part of me missing you

So light the day
And invite me to stay
Cause now I see
I was always on my way
Just a little late

Cause I cry lot
I cry out of fear
And it’d be nice if
You was all that made up these tears
But its years and years

And in the afternoon while the sun gets low
I wish I there was some direction to drive
Somewhere else to go
But if you never try
You’ll never know
Sometimes the best part of goodbye
Is letting go

Oh, but I’ve been dreaming of clear skies
Oh, I’ve been dreaming of hometown coastlines
I would fly

So God give me patience
Patience to see
Within the chaos
There’s always room to dream
Just let it be

I went to dinner with the fam last night, and, as always, my sister tells me to have a baby and she’ll take care of it. And, as always, my answer was a resounding crack-induced Whitney Houston “Hell to the NO!”. But it did get me thinking about baby names, which is always fun. I definitely want my kids to have unique names – not like celebrity status with names like Apple and Coco, or ghetto pseudo-ethnic status like LaShawndra or Kenyetta, or super trendy like Madison and Mackinzie. I’ve always had an affinity for Greek names, like Persephone. But I couldn’t stand the thought of my child going through life being called “Purse-fone” (just fyi, it’s “per-sef-uh-nee”). Maybe it could be a middle name.

Then, there are the good old standbys that I’ve always loved – Avery (I know, it’s a paper company) and Sebastian (I know, he’s a crab).

I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that I won’t be having a child any time soon. You can even scratch that “almost” in the last sentence out. Babies ain’t comin’ out of Holly no time soon, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about baby names of future offspring.

I’ve curbed my addiction to Starbucks a great deal – limiting myself to twice a week. My latest drink of choice (replacing the much missed Iced Honey Latte) is the Starbucks DoubleShot. Simple and good – 3 shots of espresso with classic syrup, shaken and topped off with a little milk (soy, in my case). It gets the job done.

So, on my bi-weekly visits to sbux, there’s a lady that orders a Strawberry water. I had to do a double take and stare the bitch down so I could understand. She ordered a venti water with ice and strawberry syrup, blended. Strawberry flavored ice water. I mean, I can kinda understand. After all, I did grow up broke drinking sugar water (sometimes with kalamansi, hah!). So i wasn’t really mad at her… until she picked up her drink from the bar at asked the dude to top it with whipped cream. I had to pull the sunglasses down my face and look at her. I’m sure my inner monologue showed on my face: Did this bitch just get a cup of water with whipped cream on top?

It cracks me up when people have 3 sentence orders at starbucks (grande 3 1/2 pump 180 degree extra dry soy half caff vanilla latte in a venti cup no whip extra foam on the side blah blah blah), but this chick, with the whipped cream and water, takes the cake.

sigh. post your crazy *bux stories in the comments.
