Have You Ever
Written by Shawn McDonald

Have you ever wanted to be someone else
Have you ever wanted just to be someone
Have you ever wanted to reach your dreams
Have you ever wanted life to be more than it seems
I have tasted of a love so wide
That it stops all my time
I have tasted of a love so deep
That it blows my mind
Have you ever wanted to reach up and touch the sky
Have you ever wanted to pack it up and say good-bye
Have you ever wanted someone to care
Have you ever wanted someone to be there
He is sweet, He is sweet
What your looking for
Is my sweet, sweet Jesus
What You're looking for
Is my sweet Lord

Neil Diamond week on American Idol

Dear America,
If you send anybody home tomorrow who's name is not Jason Castro or David Archuletta, I will scream and yell and be very angry and... pain... lots of pain...
You've been warned.
Sincerely,
Amber

P.S. David Cook, you are amazing. Two times.

so fun... even if it does look like Jess made me cry...

*notice that i actually ranked in the top 100 of the day!!! so exciting!

yikes...

don't drink the kool-aid...

the dictionary defines jealousy (in reference to God) as: intolerant of unfaithfulness or rivalry


*this would be why my Aunt Nancy bought me a greek/hebrew study bible when I turned 19... so I could research for myself the things that don't make sense and dive deeper to see what scripture literally means...

C.S. Lewish quote of the day

"Certain things, if not seen as lovely or detestable, are not being correctly seen at all."

My Mom

On Sunday morning I went over to my parent's house to help out and organize some of my Mom's cupboards (one of my Operation: Raise $$ for Taxes jobs that has come up)
So as I was figuring out which of the Jell-o molds to keep from my grandma's 60's Tupperware collection, my mom says to me "Amber, I would have let you borrow my DVD player"
huh?
"uh... what are you talking about?"
"You said you couldn't watch a DVD on your TV because it wasn't working."
"uh... what?"
"Amber. I read your blog."
I'm so glad Amy (my cousin) was standing there to witness this because I NEVER thought I would hear these words come out of my mothers mouth.

So Ladies, and Gentelman (all 9 of you) I would like to welcome to my blog my newest reader: My MOM!!!

Mom: this now officially makes you cool :) Love you!

yet again... nothing to do...

ok, so tomorrow afternoon, thursday afternoon and ALL DAY FRIDAY I will be the switchboard operator at my lovely workplace.
this means that aside from waiting for the phone to ring, I won't be doing much of anything, especially since it's spring break and it's like a ghost town on campus!

Last time I operated the switchboard I was able to catch up on LOST, but now i'm not sure what to do! I don't have any tv-on-dvd I'm dying to see and I don't have tons of movies I want to watch ALL DAY.....
any suggestions?
