lie to me.

you're wasting all your time here
riding around in the sun
alone and idling
come wander back to me
you know i'll always be there

lie to me, lie to me
make like you love me
lie to me, lie to me

with this one you never go
and this one you never show yourself
with this one you tell it all
and turn your world into a ghost town

lie to me, lie to me
make like you love me
lie to me, c'mon it's easy

don't think of what we can't be
i know what you need and you know that you like it
the name you were born with
your soul on your sleeve
let me believe in something

just, you know, stuff.

How were everybody's holidays? Good, I hope. I can honestly say that this past Christmas was one of the best ever. And I include in that list the year of the Barbie dream car. Yes, a pink Barbie convertible that Cara and I drove around in. (Cue the peanut gallery saying, This was only last year, right? Hardee-har-har.)

This year we talked to TPYM via Skype, had a fabulous Christmas and New Year's Eve dinner with the Erbs, and had all sorts of frolicking laughter, snuggling and joy. (Rainbows though were nil. Sorry.) I think what made this Christmas/New Year a good'un was the perfect balance between festivities, family time, and spiritual experiences. Dad "shufflin'" at 2:30 am on New Year's? Festivities. Watching the First Presidency Christmas Devotional? Family time AND spiritual experience. We like to get it all in, I guess.

What I'm saying is, it made me excited for the year to come. And there are already great plans in the works. Mom and I are going to Savannah for a historic homes and gardens tour (and ghost tour that she doesn't know about yet, shhh) in March for our birthdays, we're taking a family trip to Glacier National Park in August (cue dancing in the street), and I think there's supposed to be some sort of baby born in May. Renaldo? Robert? Ragnar? Not to mention the Arsenal v. Manchester United match in just a few short weeks. Busy busy. So in summation, it's gonna be great and I can't wait to see what happens. And stuff.
