just got started lovin' you - james otto

you don't have to go now, honey
call and tell 'em you won't be in today
baby, there ain't nothin' at the office
so important it can't wait

[chorus:]
i'm thankful for the weekend
but two days in heaven just ain't gonna do
yes, it's gonna take forever, darlin'
girl, i just got started lovin' you

what's the point in fightin' what we're feelin'
we both know we'll never win
ain't this what we're missin'
let's just stop all this resistin' and give in

[chorus:]
let me wrap my arms around you
you know you don't wanna leave this room
come back and let me hold you, darlin'
girl, i just got started lovin' you

[bridge :]
what can i say
i've never felt this way
and girl, you're like a dream come true
after all the love we've made
it sure would be a shame
if we let this moment end so soon

[chorus:]
so won't you lay back down beside me
girl, just like i know you want to
trust me when i tell you, darlin'
girl, i just got started lovin' you

i ain't gonna stop, oh yeah

[bridge :]
what can i say
i've never felt this way
and girl, you're like a dream come true
after all the love we've made
it sure would be a shame
if we let this moment end so soon

[chorus:]
i'm thankful for the weekend
but two days in heaven just ain't gonna do
yes, it's gonna take forever, darlin'
girl, i just got started lovin' you

come back and let me hold you, darlin'
girl, i just got started lovin' you
mmm, mmm, oh oh
gonna hang out all week long
i've been lovin' kissin' and huggin' baby
mmm, mmm

beef day!

so the red cross just called to remind me that i am donating platelets on saturday at 7am. yea! you know what that means, don't you ... ??

... today is beef day!!

yea! ryan (here at work) informed me that we will be dining on some *fab*ulous burgers at the munch box today and the habit tomorrow. i am *so* excited!

longing

i need more milk. i poured the last drops into my cup with dinner on sunday night. but because of recent events, i can't just stop at the grocery store after work anymore. what's a milk-cravin', grocery-guy-avoidin', pathetic-flirt of a girl to do?

fé a cada passo - k. newell dayley [trans.]

é maravilhosa e já está aqui, a obra que Deus ordenou.
o vós que embarcais no serviço do Pai, servi-O com todo o fervor.
do mal os profetas e anjos do céu vieram nos livrar;
assim o Cristo virá reinar na terra sobre os Seus.

[chorus:]
com fé a cada passo, seguimos ao Senhor;
cantamos a uma voz com esperança em Seu amor.

os santos valentes, obreiros da paz, que servem em todo lugar,
são fortes e firmes em seu coração, fazendo o trabalho de Deus.
exemplo de fé e virtude eles são; assim devemos ser.
humildemente buscando o Reino e todo o Seu saber.

[chorus:]
com fé a cada passo, seguimos ao Senhor;
cantamos a uma voz com esperança em Seu amor.

se nós desejamos a obra fazer, lancemos a foice com fé.
o campo já branco pra ceifa está; façamos a obra com amor.
assim poderemos de Deus receber a eterna salvação,
a luz de Deus vai brilhar em nós e nos purificar.

[chorus:]
com fé a cada passo, seguimos ao Senhor;
cantamos a uma voz com esperança em Seu amor.

(at choir practice yesterday, the choir director announced that we would be singing this next week for a missionary farewell ["faith in every footstep," in english]. i was so happy to sing this again, even in english, because it was our mission song. oh, good times.)

listen to this

"because you really, really love chocolate.
we start with a perfect balance of the very best ingredients -- rich, dark ghirardelli cocoa, the finest wheat flour, and a hint of sweet vanilla flavor.
a generous measure of ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips adds that luxuriously rich, intense chocolate experience chocolate lovers cherish.
the result is a brownie that is ultra rich, moist and chewy.
in short, pure brownie perfection.
ghirardelli double chocolate brownie mix.
creating moments of intense chocolate pleasure, from people who know it best ... ghirardelli."

that's what i made today. ... uh, huh ...

oh. and i spread mint-chocolate swirled chocolate chips on top, melted and luscious. pure decadence.

(by the way, i'm not gonna just listen to this: i'm gonna eat it. a lot of it.)
