Today was a much better day than the day of hell yesterday. This morning started with me waking up and spending 20 minutes and 2 pairs of contacts before being ready to get Beth from school. Things did get better.

After I got Beth, I picked up my paycheck and took it to the bank near Target. While leaving the bank, I saw this truck that looked just like my father's old truck. Beth and I determined it was my dad's truck when we saw the cow on the antenna. Matthew took his friend to Target to get some things. We teased him about it. However, I did watch him park, and he did a nice job. We're taking this stunt as his cue that he wants his license now.

After that adventure at Savannah Mall, Beth and I went to the other mall. Beth needed to ask Nicki how to pay for the tickets to the new Pirates… movie the family went to see tonight. I didn't go because I had class. I told my dad I'll go see Superman Returns again if he wants to see it. While at the mall, Beth and I ate at Macaroni Grill. Beth preferred our home version of bread and olive oil over the Grill's version. I had my trademark Chicken Parmesan. She tried and liked the Honey Balsamic Chicken. She wants to make it. We talked about getting a George Foreman grill. She didn't think my father would go for it. I say if she shows him the will to cook, he'd buy it for her.

I had class. It went well. And now I'm home, just looking around. Seems that Gnate the Gnat, from the Savannah Sand Gnats found my Flickr account. Gnate left a few comments on his photos.

And finally, I wanted to post this last night, but I didn't, well, because of the lack of power in the Latta home. This past week, I have been listening over and over again to 3 certain songs, "Let Me Go" by 3 Doors Down, "Leave the Pieces" by The Wreckers, and "Savin' Me" by Nickelback. Each song feels like it's describing a part of my life.

"Let Me Go" - it's about letting go, even if you don't want to. It's clearly a sad song, with no happy ending. When I saw 3 Doors Down on Halloween, I cried at this song. There are things in my life I need to let go of, even if I never wanted to in the first place.

"Leave the Pieces" - this song hits close to home. I wonder why? It's about a girl in a relationship with a guy that doesn't love her as she wishes, but he won't hurt her, either. This is her way of taking control and telling the guy to go. She's got the strength to move on. In fact, she sounds bitter. He's doing more harm than good at the moment.

"Savin' Me"- I love the line about falling. I feel like at this point in my life, I'm in a free fall. Plus, this song reminds me of one scene from Superman Returns.
