Can't sleep- Party Music edition
Sydney woke me up at 4am today and I've been up since. I have this horrible disease that prevents me from falling asleep after waking up. It's called restless mind syndrome. You may have heard of restless leg syndrome, this is much worse. I lay awake, toss and turn, trying to fall asleep but, I just think of everything that is coming up for the day. Like today. We are having a large family get together (future post) - so I just think of my checklist of things to do. So at 5:15am I finally gave in and got up. Brewed a pot of coffee and turned on the computer. I decided I needed to update my ipod and download some new tunes. Music is a essential part of a party, without which awkward silence is well just, awkward. Plus my kids LOVE music, especially dance beats, they boogie! T told me the other day he liked some Katy Perry songs - is that weird? - and I've been rocking to that Hello song and the new Britters (guilty pleasure). Listen, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. If you hire and dj, for say a wedding, or a large event, and no one is on the dance floor, CHANGE THE SONG! I love to dance, I love classic songs, I love to boogie and shake my tooty so it is always a complete let down when the dj keeps playing the same dribble over and over and over. Annoying! So here are some new songs I downloaded in my early morning itunes fest...
1. Good Life, One Republic
2. Hello, Martin Solveig & Dragonette
3. Party Rock Anthem, LMFAO
4. Firework, Katy Perry
5. Forget You, Cee Lo Green
6. I wanna Go, Britney Spears
7. Rolling in the Deep, ADELE
Not bad for 5am huh?
Other songs on the party play list - Michael Jackson - duh - he also happens to be Jack's favorite to dance to! Black Eyed Peas, Talking heads (my bro in law would be proud) Usher, Sly, Al Green, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder - see a good mix of it all! It should be a great party! I'll give you all the deats soon.
And a early morn shout out to my CSU family - GO RAMS! Beat those lame ass Buffs!!

Neighbor wars part 2
:sigh: It has happened.
:bigger sigh: Snotrod has waged war.
Earlier this summer I told you about our lovely neighbor that we affectionately dubbed Snotrod. Read Neighbor Wars part I to refresh your memory.
It has been no secret that I despise him with the depths of my soul. He is rank. Actually rank really isn't harsh enough. Vial? No even that is too nice. It's not enough that he is still launching his rockets, parading around in his beer belly uniform, stealing our trash (more on that) and generally oozing negativity on the whole block. But now...
Over the summer he started doing something that is just plain making me crazy. He is waving "Hi" to me. It's actually pretty genius on his part, the ole kill em' with kindness gag. Gag! Ha! So when I walk to the mail box or drive by he extends his arm out, twinkles his fingers, and says real high pitch "hellllllllllo". I just either look away (vomit) or mumble, hi. I guess I wasn't too subtle in my hatred - was the sign I carry that says go to hell to obvious? Jerk now stares me down as I pass his house. Crap. Now I look like the ass. How did that happen?
And another thing... he is social with the other neighbors. What is wrong with them? He is toxic, he is dangerous, he is a felon. Stay away! Don't encourage him. We need him gone not feeling nice and rosey! Ugh.
This morning he was out front collecting his trash cans - trash cans that he stole from OUR TRASH one day (oh yes) - and he was wearing a top coat (shocked he owns one) shorts and no shirt. He glared at me - I glared at him. My hate is palpable. I may or may not have placed a secret phone call to the NSA suspecting a terrorist plot is being hatched in his home. Ok. Not really but I fantasize about doing that.
I'm not really sure what to do. Sydney knows full and well to stay away from him. Our nanny knows to stay away. The next time the cops are there, which is typically every 6 weeks or so, I am going to demand some information. I want to know what his deal is.
I really like our house but he just may be the reason I insist we move someday.
So until a gigantic meteor lands on his house, or rouge missile I am stuck with him.
Drats.
Top 50 is SO close...come on keep doing what you do - click it!
