First thing is first – I updated my 101 in 1001 list. A lot of the goals were so immature and materialistic. I wanted to clear all of the crap out of my life and start with a new, refreshing series of events. While I was redoing my list, I stumbled across an item that I didn’t blog about – buying a new car. I know in the last post I described how I didn’t get my license yet. Well, Ryan and I still purchased a car anyway. It’s a used car, a 2001 Black 4-door Saturn. It looks like this:
Of course, that’s not our car. I just stole that picture from Google. We love it. It’s such a cute little car. 
We had been driving that gigantic Blazer since the accident in January. It sucked gas… I honestly believe that thing ate it. There’s no way we could afford to keep driving it. But, I’ve finally, then, straightened out the mess I caused with Ryan’s car in the accident. That gives me one more major goal to cross of my list. See the complete list here.
As for this 30 days project, I’ve seen so many places doing this around the internet, including SP and Stubborn-Ox. I love the idea. It will give me something to blog about, along with reminding me to actually log-on and do it. The topics for all 30 days of the project are:

Day 01 → Your favorite song
My favorite song is the one that I want to play at my wedding (whenever that happens…). It’s called “I Like to Be With Me When I’m With You” by Drew Holcomb. I just love this song. I think it has to do with my love-bird mentality. I’m just in love with love. I love everything about the whole process. I love having that person I share everything with – that perfect person who makes everything complete. If you’ve ever been in love, and I mean that real that can’t-eat, can’t- sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence, world-series kind of stuff (Did anyone get that reference?) you’ll know exactly what I am talking about. The lyrics for the song go like this:
If I had a great big mansion
I’d rather live in a shot gun shack with you
If I drove a red farari
I’d rather ride in an oldsmobile with you
If I won a million dollars
I’d give it away to spend more time with you
If i had a million lovers
I would trade em all for just one more night with you
With you I can be myself
With you I don’t have to be somebody else
It’s like puttin on my favorite pair of shoes
I’d like to be with me, when I’m with you
If i owned the finest vineyard
I would rather sit and drink cheap wine with you
If i could live on the moon
I would rather stay in Tennessee with you
If i could sail across the ocean
The ocean would just be blue without you
If i could climb up Mount Everest
I would turn around and climb in bed with you
With you I can be myself
With you I don’t have to be somebody else
It’s like puttin on my favorite pair of shoes
I like to be with me when I’m with you
If i could be like Albert Einstein
I’d rather just be dumb and be with you
If I could sing like Frank Sinatra
I would rather sit and talk to you
With you I can be myself
With you I don’t have to be somebody else
It’s like puttin on my favorite pair of shoes
I like to be with me, when I’m with you.
It’s a lovely song. If you’d like to listen to it, I’ve included the .m4a file here - I Like to Be With Me When I’m With You
P.S. Due to my new found love for blogging to finish projects, after this 30 Days project the future will be filled with a photography project and blog entries answering the 50 questions that will free your mind. Looks like I’m not going anywhere.
omg first off I love your layout, especially the colors. One of my friends first car was a saturn and it lasted her like 5 years and I was told its great on gas. I love the lyrics.
Themes are great!! Usually when I’m lacking anything of value to post, I do a theme (not sayin’ that’s why you are though!!)
I try so hard to stick to them , but I never really manage.
So if you don’t mind. I’m going to jump on board with this one with you, to give me a purpose to write, each day… I will try, not sure if I’ll succeed. I hope to post at least 15 times in the next 30 days.
LOL — btw, that’s a great song!!!
Geez, ANOTHER new theme?! Haha! Nice though, VERY different!
That’s a very nice car. =) That’s funny that you have a car before you got your license. Most of the time, it’s the other way around. Haha.
Dang it, I was trying to find the song online so that I can listen to it while I read the lyrics… Haha… Couldn’t find it. =( Oh, haha, didn’t see it at the bottom of your blog. =P Awesome song. It’s just a country song.. =( Haha. But I love those type of songs too. I’m a hopeless romantic… Haha.
