She's baaack!!

Who am I talking about?


None other than Britney, bitch!!

Once again, the Princess of Pop has done it. Amazed us with her reinvention and has made a brilliant new CD.
And while, yes, we all have seen she doesn't dance like she used to (she's almost 30 years-old with two children, hello!), she still puts on a hell of a show that gets you excited to see more. Love her or hate her, you can't look away.

Being a long time fan of this delicious diva, I feel so proud of her. It may sound silly, but when she entered the K-Fed stage of her life (going into gas station bathrooms barefoot, the chaos of their reality show Chaos, etc.) and then the out-of-control partying, pink wigs, and loss of her kids stage of life, it really was heartbreaking to see someone I admired and think so much of to fall so hard. As a VERY serious Britney fan, it's so exciting to see her get back to the Old Brit, showing off her talent and showing us how much fun she still has with what she does. I know a lot of people don't get it, and that's fine. But when I turn on a Britney CD, I can get completely lost in the fun of her music, dance around, and forget about any cares in the world. Who wouldn't love anything that gave them that kind of release?

PLUS, she says things like, "The bitch is back," in interviews and it totally makes me fall a little harder for her because we all know I love a little sass!!

Tunes

Music is pretty much what gets me through each day - happy, sad, excited, bored, hungry.. whatever the feeling is, I can always find something to fit the mood. So I get TOTALLY pumped when there are CDs that I totally fall in love with. These two have been playing non-stop in my car for the past few weeks. (Scratch that: HAD BEEN playing non-stop in my car for the past few weeks, until Brit Brit finally graced us with her presence!! More to come on that little gem.)

First up is Sara Bareilles' Kaleidoscope Heart:

Not every song is my favorite but some of them seem like she crawled inside my brain and read my thoughts and feelings. I love hearing songs that I can relate to so well, it's like free therapy.

Next is Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday:

I promised myself I'd never give into her... but it just happend- she infiltrated my brain. Kind of like Gaga did, which is funny because she's kind of like a black Lady Gaga. Anyway, I love the mix of her singing and rapping and the way she changes her voice adds so much to her songs.

It's been a minute

A reaaaal hot minute! I keep telling myself on a daily basis that I'm going to get back to blogging - because in all reality who DOESN'T want to read my thoughts on a daily basis - and it just seems like one more exhausting task for the day!

Thank goodness I was offered a last minute job in a 4th grade position and finally have MY dream job. It may not be anyone else's but it truly is mine and every day I'm reminded of that and how lucky I am for finding something I'm so passionate about and that I'm able to get paid for.

With that being said, teaching is the most exhausting job on the planet - out of all the experiences that I've experienced anyway! This polar bear TOTALLY gets my drift; he's role playing how I feel when I get home each day. So when I come home and I turn on my computer, as much as my quirky thoughts and ideas are at the tip of my tongue, it just seems to be a burden to release them onto the blogosphere.

Regardless, I'm gonna try to get with the program.
