My New Anthem

The Dog Days Are Over.  You must play this song on the playlist to the right as you read this.  It's the last song on the playlist.  It will make you feel amazing.  As soon as I heard this song, I knew my day would come and today is it.  Last week we signed the lease for a new house that has everything on our checklist.Today we closed on our house and did our walk through of the new abode.  Now I have a clear picture of where everything will be placed :).  Yesterday we adopted a new family member and I cried the whole ride home.  I still have 3 more weeks of summer.  That will include packing, unpacking, housebreaking, corralling, visiting Denver, and settling into a new home.  Yowza!  Busy, but so, so exciting.  I finally feel like a semi-normal person again.  This past year was ROUGH.  But the dog days are over..........

Florence + The Machine

Happiness, hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink


The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run


Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive


The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/florence_and_the_machine/dog_days_are_over.html ]
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too. oh.


Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that


The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come


Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive


The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Because here they come


The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Because here they come

  1. I love that song! Found it when Covert Affairs debuted because it was on the commercial and got stuck in my head. :)

    Happy things are turning around for you!
