Favorites

My newly discovered favorite song by Pink. Go download it now. It's fantastic!

"Glitter In The Air"

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the ice burg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning
The breathe before the fraze
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touch so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breathe before the kiss
And the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

La La La La La La La La

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee,
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breathe and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight

Lunch and Learn

I listened to a great speaker today over lunch. The speech was, "Against the Odds: Four Amazing Women Who Left Their Imprint on American History." The women were: Anne Hutchinson, 1591-1693; Abigail Adams, 1744-1818; Lydia Marie Child, 1802-1880; and Ida B. Well Barnett, 1862-1931. The historian said she choose one woman from the each century who against odds went on to leave a significant impact on American culture.

It was an interesting talk. If you had to choose just one American woman from this century who you consider amazing and left an imprint on history, who would you choose?
