Video of the Day: Seven Whole Days

Toni Braxton is amazing. Why don't we hear more of her nowadays? Anyhow, I was totally loving her last night when she magically came up on my Walkman-sized mp3. Yeah, babe. That's just the way I roll. Hope you love her, too.

Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about through
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you

I'd rather be on my own
Yes, on my own

Darlin', darlin'
You know if you cared anything about love
You woulda been front and center
Lovin' me and touchin' me
Honey, honey
You know if you knew anything about me
You woulda been much more tender
Ooh... squeezin' me, caressin' me
You coulda had about anything you wanted
But you messed it up
You had to be tough
You told your friends
You had me wrapped around your finger
You were talking kinda cocky
Like you had it goin' on
All the while you knew
That things were kinda shaky
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be
Mistreating me
How can we go on

Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about thru
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you

I'd rather be on my own
Yes on my own

Sugar, sugar
You know if you knew anything about sweet
You woulda been talkin' to me
Everyday
Seven days a week
Baby, baby
You shoulda been givin' me
A little more time
But you were just much too busy
Abusin' me and usin' me
I woulda done about anything
Ya wanted
I was there for you
I was crazy about you
When I was sittin' thinkin'
I was kinda special
You were runnin' round
Hittin' every other girl in town
How could you love me
When you knew you played me funny
You knew that you were wrong
Dead wrong to be
Mistreating me
How can we go on

Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about thru
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you

I'd rather be on my own
Yes, on my own

Deep in my heart
You were number one to start
But then you changed
You threw my heart away
Told your friends that
You were runnin' thangs
Why'd it have to be that way
You're wrong, dead wrong
Tell me how, how can we go wrong

Seven whole days
And not a word from you
Seven whole nights
I'm just about through
I can't take it, won't take it
Can't take it no more
I had about enough of you

I'd rather be on my own
Yes, on my own

Site of the Day: MonthlyInfo.com

Years ago, a dear friend and I were blessed to be able to work together. Actually, we met at work and became friends. (Sorry. Am I *already* getting off-track?) Anyhow, organized person that I am, or used to be, I would keep track of a certain... ahem... cycle for her. Not that I'm a nosy freak or anything, but her cycle just happened to coincide with mine, and... anyway!! TMI? It's a female thing, so get over it...

Anyhow, she kindly let me know that I've been replaced. It only took her seven years or so. So at least I know that I'm not easily replaced. :) So, in the interest of promoting female empowerment and menstrual cycle organization (not that they can be easily organized, but at least you can keep track of them)... I present to you...

You'll be pleased to know that you can also make notations on whatever date you choose, as well. For example, if you wanted to remember that you ate at Razoo's on Saturday and then at Lupita's Taqueria on Wednesday. Very helpful if you're keeping a food diary. Or whatever. So there you go, ladies. Knock yourselves out!

Video of the Day: As If

I'm not a very outgoing person. I have a select few people in whom I confide, in whom I can trust. Not that I'm anti-social. I'm not. Well, not really... I love people. I always have. It's just difficult getting to know people again after so many years of enredandome in my marriage, my family. Now, I'm without the husband, without the family. On my own... yet not on my own.

I have amazing friends who have helped me in so many ways. My friends tell me that I'm strong. Am I really? I've got to be. It must stem from the many, many prayers and supplications that I've sent up to God for the past ten months. There's no way I was this strong before. God answers prayers. Not in the way we expect. Not on our own time. We're all on his time schedule, no?

So, how does this relate to the video of the day? Well, I've decided to rely on this strength and just let things take their course. I won't stress over little things. Won't stress about other people, what they think, what they do. That's all them. It has nothing to do with me. Now, enjoy a bit of Sara Evans and have a great day! :)



I love the way you wear those worn out blue jeans
walking all around in the big sunshine
Baby let me believe that you're perfect
at least for a little while

You don't have to tell me what you're thinking
You can keep all that to yourself
Baby we got such a good thing going
don't show me that you're someone else

Cause Im acting as if
this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me
I'm telling myself
This true love's never gonna leave me lonely
Unless there's something I've missed I'm acting as if

We don't have to have a conversation
Baby don't ya think it's going fine
We don't need to send out invitations
to tell the world that you're mine

Cause Im acting as if
this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me
I'm telling myself
This true love's never gonna leave me lonely
Unless there's something I've missed I'm acting as if

As if your sweet kiss is never gonna fade away
And the way you look at me will never change...

Video of the Day: All I Have

Sometimes there's a song that just hits you. It can represent however you're feeling that particular moment. Here's one that affected me this morning. I had to keep replaying it. Don't worry, feelings change. Songs as well. There will surely be a different song tomorrow! :)

So what song was on my radio this morning? All I Have. The video is just gorgeous, although it looks a bit too chilly for my taste. Remind me to never go to New York when it's cold! Maybe in the summer?


Stop playing, you gaming, I got to leave you alone

... Cuz I'm good
Holding down my spot
And I'm good
Reppin' the girls on the block
And I'm good
I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right?

... Ain't nothin' you can say to me that can change my mind,
I gotta let you go now,
and nothin will ever be the same, so just be on your way,
Go ahead and do your thing now,
and there's no more to explain to me, ya know?
I know ya game
I'm not feelin' what you do
(and I'm good)
so I'm bouncing and I'm out, son
(I'm good)
I gotta leave you alone... yeah, yeah...
