So incredibly fitting

I nabbed the new Dixie Chicks CD this afternoon when I was doing the final grocery shopping to tide the Momenator and hubs over until I get home. I listened to it while I cleaned up the kitchen and wrapped my sister's gifts for the BAY BAY.

I have always loved me some music, but every once in a while a lyric or a chorus resonates with me in a way that other just as fabulous songs just did not. That is what the song "Not Ready To Make Nice" was for me. They managed to capture just how I feel and will probably continue to feel for a long time to come. This particular part is what caught me.

I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell and
I don't have time to go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Sometimes, doing what everyone else thinks is the best thing or the proper thing is not the right thing for you. This is so my life right now.

OK, I am officially outtie. I have 5 more reports to finish up before I pack. The good news is that I found shoes for both the wedding and rehearsal din din. Go me.

Latah gatahs.

This morning they performed live on the ABC morning show.
I cried when I heard them sing that song.
Being from Nashville and living here I am so fucking pissed b/c country radio will not play their music anymore.
It sucks.
I heart the Dixie Chicks.
