Excited/Nervous

We close on our first house this Friday...and no one told me about the roller coaster of emotions I'd be experiencing.  I am so anxious, nervous, excited, scared, happy, skeptical, over-the-moon, frustrated, and then some about the whole process!  I guess I will say that I'm ready for the closing process to be OVER, because the waiting game sucks.  And let me tell you, if you are in the process of buying a house, DO NOT make any financial changes, AT ALL.  Do not apply for a credit card, do not refinance your car loan, do not sell an old car, do not have a birthday and deposit the cash in your account...the bank needs documentation for every single transaction you do.  GAH!  

So that's the frustrated side, on the flip side, I'm elated that we will have our own home, a house that feels like a home.  It may need some updating, but the bones are good, and the warmth is there.  I'm excited to have something to call our own and to customize the way we want.  We already painted the guest bedroom, just the two of us, two coats...sore muscles! But it transformed from pink to "Baking Stone" and it looks great!  I can't wait to paint the rest of the house!

I'm nervous because jumping into that much debt is terrifying, and I'm skeptical because I fear something major will go wrong.  I'm anxious because, as the closing date gets closer, the days feel so much longer, and I'm scared that some bump in the road is going to rear its ugly head.  However, I don't think any of those negative emotions overpower the shear happiness I feel that my husband and I will finally move to a city and into a house where we feel like we have a long future and where we feel like we can finally settle down and begin the process of deciding when to start a family.  Bring on the joy, happiness, and want-to-rip-my-hair-out feelings we'll experience being homeowners.

Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are happy, sad, bored, hyped, mad

Oh boy, I love music; I always think there are certain songs that are the soundtrack of my life.  I don't know what it is, but music and I are tight! =)  In Humanities senior year of high school, we got bonus points on our anthology (basically a scrapbook/analysis of our entire senior year in personal, news, school, comics, books, etc.) if we incorporated a special theme or entry.  Well my theme was music!  So for each of my 60 entries, I matched up a song that related to it...and now I feel like a total dork!  Haha.


It will be hard for me to pick just one song for these categories, so there are two for each...one newer one that I'm in love with, and one of my go-to songs that I've always loved or related to.


When I'm happy- "All for Love" - Serena Ryder, "If I Had a Million Dollars" - Barenaked Ladies
When I'm sad-     "Home" - Foo Fighters, "Everybody Hurts" -REM
When I'm bored- "3rd Planet" - Modest Mouse, "Day in the Life" - The Beatles
When I'm hyped- "Percussion Gun" - White Rabits, "Get Me Bodied" - Beyonce, "Fat Lip" - Sum 41
When I'm mad-    "Break Stuff" - Limp Bizkit, "F the System" - System of a Down


Ok ok, I had three for when I'm hyped...but you had to know Beyonce would be in there.  And the songs when I'm mad are both pretty old, but they are great outlets for me!  What are your favorite songs to listen to with any of these emotions?
