“Stickwitu”

I don’t wanna go another day
So I’m telling you exactly what is on my mind
Seems like everybody’s breaking up
And throwing their love away
But I know I got a good thing right here
That’s why I say

Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

I don’t wanna go another day
So I’m telling you exactly what is on my mind
See the way we ride in our private lives
Ain’t nobody getting in between
I want you to know that you’re the only one for me (one for me)
And I say

Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

And now
Ain’t nothing else I can need (nothing else I can need)
And now
I’m singing ’cause you’re so, so into me
I got you
We’ll be making love endlessly
I’m with you (baby, I’m with you)
Baby, you’re with me (baby, you’re with me)

So don’t you worry about
People hanging around
They ain’t bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that’s all that counts

So don’t you worry about
People hanging around
They ain’t bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that’s, that’s why I say

Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

The Puddycat Dolls Lyrics
“Buttons”

I’m telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain’t seen nothing (Uh)

I’m telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain’t seen nothing (Uh)

Typical
Hardly the type I fall for
I like when the physical
Don’t leave me asking for more
I’m a sexy mama (mama)
Who knows just how to get what I wanna (wanna)
What I want to do is spring this on you (on you)
Back up all of the things that I told you (told you)

You’ve been saying all the right things all night long
But I can’t seem to get you over here to help take this off
Baby, can’t you see? (see)
How these clothes are fitting on me (me)
And the heat coming from this beat (beat)
I’m about to blow
I don’t think you know

I’m telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain’t seen nothing (Uh)

I’m telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain’t seen nothing (Uh)

You say you’re a big boy
But I can’t agree
‘Cause the love you said you had
Ain’t been put on me
I wonder (wonder)
If I’m just too much for you
Wonder (wonder)
If my kiss don’t make you just
Wonder (wonder)
What I got next for you
What you want to do? (do)

Take a chance to recognize that this could be yours
I can see, just like most guys that your game don’t please
Baby, can’t you see? (see)
How these clothes are fitting on me (me)
And the heat coming from this beat (beat)
I’m about to blow
I don’t think you know

I’m telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain’t seen nothing (Uh)

I’m telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain’t seen nothing (Uh)

Come on baby, loosen up my buttons babe
Loosen up my buttons babe
Baby, won’t you loosen up my buttons babe?
Loosen up my buttons babe

Come on baby, loosen up my buttons babe
Loosen up my buttons babe
Baby, won’t you loosen up my buttons babe?
Loosen up my buttons babe

I’m telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain’t seen nothing (Uh)

I’m telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going to do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain’t seen nothing (Uh)
(Ah-ah-ah)
I’m telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going to do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain’t seen nothing (Uh)

I’m telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going to do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain’t seen nothing (Uh)

I Want to Hold Your Hand
Song by The Beatles

Oh, yeah, I’ll tell you somethin’
I think you’ll understand
When I say that somethin’
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
Oh, please, say to me
You’ll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You’ll let me hold your hand
You’ll let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It’s such a feelin’ that my love
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
Yeah, you got that somethin’
I think you’ll understand
When I say that somethin’
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It’s such a feelin’ that my love
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
Yeah, you got that somethin’
I think you’ll understand
When I feel that somethin’
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

Mr. Brightside
Song by The Killers

Coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can’t look, it’s killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside
I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
(It was only a kiss), it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
‘Cause I just can’t look, it’s killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside
I never
I never
I never
I never

Baby, Come to Me
Song by James Ingram/Patti Austin

Thinkin’ back in time
When love was only in my mind
I realize
Ain’t no second chance
You’ve got to hold on to romance
Don’t let it slide
There’s a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I’m oh so glad I found you
Need you ev’ry day
Gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
‘Cause I can’t go back to livin’ without you
Spendin’ ev’ry dime
To keep you talkin’ on the line
That’s how it was
And all those walks together
Out in any kind of weather
Just because
There’s a brand-new way
Of looking at your life
When you know that love
Is standing by your side
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I’m oh so glad I found you
Need you ev’ry day
Gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
‘Cause I can’t go back to livin’ without you
The nights can be cold
There’s a chill to ev’ry evenin’
When you’re all alone
Don’t talk anymore
‘Cause you know that I’ll be here
To keep you warm
(Oh, darling keep me warm)
Baby, come to me (come to me)
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be (my love)
And I’m oh so, glad I found you
Need you ev’ry day (ev’ry day)
Gotta have your love around me
Baby always stay (Gotta have you)
‘Cause I can’t go back to livin’ without you
Come to me
(Let me put my arms around you)
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
(Hey, I need you ev’ry day, baby)
And I’m oh, so glad I found you
Need you ev’ry day
Gotta have your love around me
(Gotta have you and I want you to stay)
Baby, always stay
‘Cause I can’t go back to livin’ without you
Come to me (come to me)
Let me put my arms around you
(Love me, love me, baby)
This was meant to be
And I’m oh so glad I found you
Need you every day
Gotta have your arms around me
Baby always stay

Club Sheba Summerland Edition 😎✨

It is hot here as well. We had a thunderstorm before daybreak. The thunder and lightning were not as loud. Guess “Mother Nature” took care not to wake us up. However, the humidity is awful. I surmise we will have a late day storm. Today I put our thermostat on Humidistat with the temp at 80. I will do this for the rest of July, or until our next bill arrives. I am hoping this will keep our cost down, though last month’s bill was not bad, though I think we could do better.

Still making progress in the Master. Today, the boxes and piles of things are no longer between the desk and one of the windows. I was able to move the tall lamp over to that side. I am now working on the stuff in front of the bed. That section is almost done. The huge mess is now near our desk and the computer. I’m hoping to start tackling that tonight and finish by tomorrow morning. We have the exterminator coming tomorrow and that’s all for this week. I will be contacting Spectrum between Wednesday and Friday. Hopefully, they can be here by the weekend.

I contacted the orthopedic surgeon and we have an appointment Friday morning. Would love to see an end to hubby’s back and knee pain. At this point, he has problems functioning and thus spends most of everyday in bed. Wait until I need him to go elsewhere for three hours or more. I have a new mattress cover that requires at least two hours of being flat on the bed. This is similar to the one we have been using and it’s great for the lower back.

Next week I will contact the plumber to install our new faucet in the Master Bathroom and to repair a leak in the shower. I also need to upgrade the wiring here and of course that means a phone call to the electrician. Over the weekend we had the power washer here and the lanai and the outside of our home is really pretty. I will try to do some more bush cutting if I can get up early enough and my back is cooperating. Yes, I do have someone that can help, however, he cannot be here until August. At least I can do some things so the HOA doesn’t start yelling.

Well, I have had enough of a break. Back to work I go. Take care. Stay cool.

By the way, it feels so good to see the clutter go away. It’s shaping up and I’m loving it….😎😎😎

@sheba2011

Hi in Oz. Beautiful pics last night and today.😊 Did some outside work today before it got too warm. Maybe some rain tonight and the rest of the week sunny and hot.🌞😎

Sis got back home around 9:00 last night. Considering she was at the airport at 11:30 in the morning for a short flight, that was a long day. She could have driven back in less time but all is well. She is much more patient than I am.😏

Lunch looks great!🥰 Besides being my bartender, I am now hiring you as my chef! Mom won’t have to cook anymore so you will go to the top of her list. And she has a lot of pull in heaven.👼

With this weather, I’m sure Poppy is like Jake – get it done quick!!💕🐶💕 Have a cool evening.🍹

Turning Tea Time Into a Sacred Ceremony

Drinking tea can be a nourishing ritual that brings inner peace to your body, mind, and soul.

Coffee may be the power beverage that gets us revved up in the morning and fuels us when we’re burning the midnight oil, but tea is the drink we turn to when we want to relax and be refreshed at the same time. Black, green, white, herbal, hot, or ice cold, tea is more than a soothing beverage. It can be a ritual, a cultural experience, and even a spiritual practice.

The reverence for tea has inspired ceremony in many cultures. From the spirituality of Chanoyu, the Japanese way of preparing and serving tea, to the sharing of Maté in Latin America, tea rituals are for celebration, ceremony, and relationship bonding. In China, tea rituals are part of many wedding ceremonies with the bride and groom serving their elder relatives in a show of respect and gratitude. The Chinese art of drinking and serving tea has been a source of inspiration for poetry and song. The Russian custom of chaepitie has inspired a unique style of teapots, caddies, teacups, and cozies. The samovar, a special brewing device, has become the symbol of the Russian tea ceremony and an object of art in its own right. Iced tea, popular in the U.S., as well as other parts of the world, is a modern ritual bringing cool relief on a sweltering summer day.

You can turn your own tea time with a friend into a simple ceremony by preparing your tea with the intention of offering nourishment and good wishes to the other person. When you are seated together, rather than drinking your tea right away, look at one another and express your gratitude and appreciation for your friendship. When you pour the tea, again intend it as an offering. Drink your tea slowly, savoring its flavor and aroma. Let its warmth or its coolness soothe your body. When you are finished drinking your tea, thank your friend for taking part in this nourishing ritual with you. Whether savored in the presence of another or tasted alone, the custom of drinking tea provides a soothing pause in our hectic world. Drinking tea can be a daily ritual that brings inner calm and clarity to the body, mind, and soul. Amen! ✨✨
