Good Morning,Happy Song Lyric Sunday

Today’s prompt for SLS is a song with the word, “Over” in the title, which is perfect for me. I didn’t even have to ask the husband b/c it came right away to mind.

The song I thought of is, “Get Over It” by the Eagles. Definitely a favorite group of mine…Thanks for the prompt Mr. Jim

“Get Over It”

I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin’ “Don’t blame me”
They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time feelin’ sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma’s too thin and your daddy’s too fat

Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin’ and cryin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it

You say you haven’t been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let’s kill all the lawyers, kill ’em tonight
You don’t want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn’t owe you a thing

Get over it
Get over it
If you don’t want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, Get over it

It’s like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You’re makin’ the most of your losin’ streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin’ everybody down
Bitch about the present and blame it on the past
I’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass

Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin’ and moanin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it

Get over it
Get over it
It’s gotta stop sometime, so why don’t you quit
Get over it, get over it

A few factoid’s …”Get Over It” by the eagles: Released in 1994 as a single from the album Hell Freezes Over. The song was the first written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey after the band reunited. It reached number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Another personal addition. I knew Glen Frey. I met him in 1976. He was playing his guitar, which was so beautiful and I commented on what a good guitar player he was. After that he responded with his name and I said why that would mean anything to me. At that moment he started to play and sing, “Take It Easy” and then I knew. I said, “Oh now I know who you are 😉 ” I was a little bit impressed but there’s a back story that maybe someday I will share or not…

He was a really nice guy, with issues but still an amazing musician !!!! I’ll never forget that moment even though I was only a teenager when I met him. I did attend a concert of the Eagles shortly after that. Impressive and they did become one of my fav’s !!!

One final closing thought on this song…It’s been a way of life for me. I move on. I choose Happy … Mz. Scarlet sends blessing to y’all…Life is good !!!!

Happy Song Lyric Sunday…

Glad to be back. Been on the DL for a bit had some dental work done last week so I’ve been working on that recovery. Good to happen now as it’s still the Winter in Chicago and it was verrrryyy cold, brrrrr last week but now they’re saying 50’s this week. That sounds about right for Chicago in the Midwest during February. Hopefully March will come in like a lamb, but then we’ll have to wait and see hoping it doesn’t go out like a lion 😉 …

Today the prompt for SLS is, the title of the song is also the title of the movie. Thanks Mr. Jim, always love you post’s !!! I’m going to go with a song and the movie that was one of me and my daughter’s fav’s…”Against All Odds”. Phil Collins recording and Jeff Bridges and Rachel Ward starring in the movie !!! We both really loved watching this together and we use to sing it loud and proud in the car !!!

“Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)”

How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath
With you? Ooh, ooh

You’re the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
‘Cause we’ve shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears

You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So, take a look at me now
Well, there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now
Well, there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I’ve got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why

You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So, take a look at me now
Well, there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Now, take a look at me now
‘Cause there’s just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that’s what I’ve got to face
Take a good look at me now
‘Cause I’ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It’s the chance I’ve gotta take

Take a look at me now

I hope you enjoy the memories lizzie <3. They were good ones !!! Happy Sunday to all and let’s have a great week !!!!

JusJoJan, 2025

I think I’ll post one of my fav’s movie and song’s to go with this JusJoJan post…

The ability to actThe capacity to make decisions and take action, especially without being prompted by others. For example, “Lisa showed initiative on the job and was soon promoted”.
The first stepThe initial movement or action in a series of steps. For example, “take the initiative in becoming acquainted”.

I guess that is what you can say I’ve been doing lately…Taking the initiative to get my life back on track!!!! Loving most of it. Amazing the things you can get accomplished when you plan your day 🙂 !!!

First thing I did was get back to Mz. Serena (My Planner, The Mother Ship)… Then I went out and I got to the dentist, OMG. That was huge. Really glad I talked to my bff whose husband is also our dentist. I went looking for a closer one to home as their office is about an 1 hour away. I found one but after talking to my friend I’m just going to stay with them.

The dentist I found wanted to pull my tooth on the first visit. I’m thinking no…Dr. Scott know’s my teeth and he’s the only one that gets to do that. So now that’s the next step. That doesn’t worry me so much b/c he’s pulled a lot of my teeth so I’m okay with that.

Now I can move onto the next thing’s that I need to get done and I find my life is pretty busy. Just waiting for the January Thaw, doesn’t look like it’s coming anytime soon 🙁 …. So I’m just going to limit my going out for now. It’s the frozen tundra right now…Happy Tuesday !!!!

This is looking across my street from my desk and this is my espresso shot this am, as I was out of coffee for my latte…Plan “B”

It’s Election Day

Just in case anyone may have forgotten what day it is 😉 … I’m going to start out by saying, (so you don’t have to waste your time reading this post) I’m going out to vote for President Trump. Of course I’m going to play this amazing song that he plays at all of his rally’s. It’s remastered with our awesome military who protects our freedom’s at home and abroad…

There are many reason’s I am voting for this man. The main one’s are he loves America and wants the best for this country. He is a strong leader and for God’s sake he took a bullet for us. I’ll save that for another post but we all know who did that I’m pretty sure. They’ve tried to jail him, take all his money away and even tried to take his life. OMG are you freaking kidding me.

Just a quick reminder too. The husband, even amidst all the things that life threw at us, has been preparing us for the day of being on a fixed income. We are not financially set, (i.e. he’s still working) but it’s just us now and we’re doing pretty good. I feel sorry for all who are just trying to live, raise a family, buy a home. If Trump wins, then you’ll be fine. He will get our country back on track. I have no idea if it goes the other way. I just remember the gas lines, hostages in Iran, blah, blah, blah. I’ve had to live through many crappy administrations. It’s called two roads, Easy or Hard. Voting does have consequences people so I hope you make the right choice.

I ask myself, “Why does he want this job???” He doesn’t need power or money or all of the brain damage that this job has. They have been so awful to this man, yet he power’s through all of it b/c he loves America. That’s why he’s getting my vote. G O T R U M P… I just hope that he is the leader God wants to carry on his plan for this once, “Shining City on the Hill. “

This man, this billionaire put on a McDonald’s apron and did the same job I had for my 1st job, a fry cook. He truly is the greatest politician, a loving father and really just the B E S T president I’ve seen in my lifetime…Win or lose, he has definitely made his mark on this Country. I’m voting today b/c it matters. Men have died to protect this freedom so I will not disrespect this country by not exercising this right and freedom. Another song associated with his campaign, which is an American Staple.

I think he’ll win b/c God spared his life for a reason. God always gets the last word. I just hope God’s plan spared him to be president to save this great country. If not, always remember that, “America, the Shining City on the Hill ” is greater and stronger than any person or political party. She is God’s gift to this world. G O T R U M P !!!!

God alway’s get the last word…America is God’s Country no matter what !!!

Happy Song Lyric Sunday

It’s been awhile but I just have to jump back into my blog and really love this prompt today…Thanks https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com

The song that comes to mind for me is one I heard last night on the radio. I just loved this song from back in the day. I was much younger then I am now by about 40 years and I can remember thinking about my parents when I use to hear this song…It is from Alan Parsons, “Games People Play.”

Where do we go from here now that all of the children are growin’ up?
And how do we spend our lives if there’s no one to lend us a hand?

I don’t want to live here no more
I don’t want to stay
Ain’t gonna spend the rest of my life
Quietly fading away

Games people play
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say, honor bright
If I promise you the moon and the stars
Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night

Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up?
And how do we spend our time knowin’ nobody gives us a damn?

I don’t want to live here no more
I don’t want to stay
Ain’t gonna spend the rest of my life
Quietly fading away

Games people play
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say
Just don’t make it right
If I’m tellin’ you the truth right now
Do you believe it?
Games people play in the middle of the night

Games people play
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say, honor bright
If I promise you the moon and the stars
Would you believe it?
Games people play in the middle of the night

After reading the lyrics, it’s kind of funny now b/c I really think they don’t mean very much at all. I guess that’s what age does for you, you become a lot wiser than you were at 20 😉 . Happy Sunday Y’all and let’s have a great week.

Song Lyric Sunday

Hello, Good/Great Sunday Morning, and Happy Song Lyric Sunday…The prompt for today comes from https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/ ….Written for Song Lyric Sunday where the theme this week is to find a song that begins with the same letter as your first name.

I’m going to do two songs for SLS b/c I’ll use my first name. The letter is, “P” and my Blogger ID which is, “S”… The song’s I think both come from under the genre of, “Metal Music” which both of my younger son’s, Matthew/36 years old and Connie/32 who by the by are not so young anymore, but who’s counting 😉 …

Both are married and Connie is a Father of two (OMG he’s my baby, #5 and Matthew #4 son is a soon to be a Father w/our 9th grand baby, OMG) . They say now, “Mom how did you have 5 kids ???” I usually just reply, “I didn’t really keep count, 2 boys, my daughter the nurse, and 2 more boys… Trying for the sister, but God had other plans 😉 … I digress, back to SLS 😉 … DNA is forever my friend !!! Yes some things you cannot change and yes that is kind of a dig 😉 !!!

I think they’ll appreciate it as a friend of their’s is Randy the lead singer of, “Lamb of God.”… I wonder if they are still into metal music 😉 . ?? Being new dad’s and all 😉 …

Randy,Lead Singer/Lamb of God/Brother from another Mother

This Mother loves you …

My first song is, “Paradise City”… Lyrics on video.

Paradise City

The second song is Stranglehold/Ted Nugget. I’m sorry ahead of time for some of the language, but it is after all Ted Nugget and both of these song’s I would consider pretty tame compared to now a days 😉 … I also saw Ted Nugent live in concert so I guess I can get away with it.

Ted Nugent/StrangleHold/2022

I just looked at the Lyrics and yeah I’ll think I’ll by pass on those…I’ve got the grand babies today and they just don’t sound to grandmama friendly 😉 . … I hope you enjoy the post and I see my 2 troll’s are still checking in… 😉 . Good for you !!! Like I said, DNA is F O R E V E R !!!! BAHAAAAA. Some times I just can’t resist.

Happy Sunday all of you blogger’s and music lover’s…I’m jumping in today b/c I just love this challenge. Been kind of quiet over here as of late.

It’s now my left hand b/c it was not use to being used I now have a trigger thumb which I never even knew existed, but whatever. Now me and the husband share that commonality as he also has been struggling w/that since I broke my arm. I told him he was just having sympathy pains for me. Any hooo on I go and I’m just soooo over it. We have also been w/the our grand daughter’s, the littles, and they have kept us jumping 🙂 !!!

My song for today’s prompt is going to be

I hope I can get busy on my blog again have so much fun stuff going on. Baking, Summer Festivals, Reunions, yadayadayada …

Song Lyric Sunday

Today’s prompt for SLS is very close to my heart. I lived this for years raising a family full of dancer’s and Michael Jackson lover’s !!! OMG that’s all they did was dance to his music, especially this one, “Thriller

“eerie, ghost, haunting, paranormal or spooky”, suggested by https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2024/06/02/song-lyric-sunday-2nd-june-2024/

Thiller

I was trying to find the video of our Matthew dancing with this song, unfortunately I can’t seem to find it. Memories are great though. He danced this one in my kitchen all the time…He also danced, “Dangerous,” at the Milwaukee Gala and couldn’t find that one either. Thanks for the memories Matthew. They are great 🙂 …

It was a wonderful time watching them all on the stage…Thanks for the memories !!!

Summer Starts…

Happy Saturday, Happy 1st day of Summer. Not a great weather day but everything else went good.

A little music please…Heard this yesterday while I was driving. Turned the radio up and just sang it loud. A favorite thing to do of mine 😉 …

Spirit in the Sky

Scarlet’s Summer Story for today is… it was a good first day. Rainy & chilly, a great day for staying in and playing with my planner’s and cooking/baking. Scarlet’s still got it, even with the once broken hand. Really the first time I’ve created a really good meal from my new kitchen. It felt so good to be cooking/baking again.

Cheese &. Bacon-Crusted Chicken w/Garlic Green Beans

For dessert we had a Blueberry Cobbler w/ice cream…Everything was delicious !!!

Last night we went out to dinner and I ordered the Blueberry Cobbler for dessert…It was terrible, that’s why I just had to make my own today. It was marvelous darling !!!!
