A long time favorite of mine, Kaskade, has a song I’m totally in love with right now, ‘Wink of an Eye’. Illianna and I danced to it last night before bath time. Everyone should have something by Kaskade on their ipod.

          

When I was working retail long ago we had a tv in my department that played music videos. Fortunately for me I controlled what videos were playing, because trust me, there were some bad ones. There was one section on one of the tapes that had 4 songs back to back that I loved… something by Adam Ant, The Cure, Annie Lennox, and OMD. I would run across my department and rewind the tape again and again. Somehow it made the day more bareable.

*6th time to listen to this song and counting*

Did I tell you how much I miss
Your sweet kiss?
Did I tell you I didnt cry?
Well I lied
I lie lie lied
Over real over
When I nearly hit the face I loved
So tired of packaging the anger
Always pushing you away

Did I tell you youre wonderful?
I miss you yes I do
Did I tell you that I was wrong?
I was wrong
Cos youre wonderful yeah

Did I tell you how much I miss
Your smile?
Did I tell you I was okay?
Well no way
No way way way

Youre wonderful yeah yeah

Now now now each and every day
I realize the price I have to pay
You youre wonderful
And now for your information
Im walking around like an arm decoration

You youre wonderful
So high I cant get over it
So deep I cant get under it
You
Youre wonderful yeah
Youre wonderful yeah yeah
Youre wonderful yeah yeah
Youre wonderful yeah yeah
Wonderful

Did I tell you youre wonderful?
I miss you yes I do
Did I tell you that I was wrong?
I was wrong
For so long long long

          

I will get another song stuck in your head:

          

Yes, I know this song gets stuck in your head. So consider this my revenge.

          

Just when I thought customer service was a thing of the past…. out of nowhere someone wows your socks off. After our recent visit to New Jersey, I’d lost faith in a thing called customer service. Our first night we had someone who we figured out was the host of the restaurant only after he was half way down the hall with the menus look back and glare at us. The hotel we stayed at charged a $70 late fee because we were two hours past check out time, even though we’d told them our first night that we would be late to check out, and the company that sent us has at least two people in that hotel every night. Then we had a recent episode with our bank who is supposed to be working for you, but they aren’t folks. All people seem to care about these days is making a buck.

Up to tonight, I’d lost faith. We are planning our wedding and have recently figured out that while it would be great fun to have a Cinderella wedding, no one tells you the price tag that comes with that, and the burden it brings. It dawned on us that a wedding is about two souls coming together and expressing love for each other and God… not the table arrangements, guest list, or food.

At this point we’ve already signed a few contracts and put down some money. Upon calling our great “band guy” and explaining our situation he was more than willing to help us come to a more than happy medium. Craig provided something called Customer Service. Something that in this fast paced world had just about become extinct. It’s so refreshing to find an individual that can see the bigger picture. Someone that can see beyond what would have been a buck today can turn into something much more than that later. It’s things like that that make a world of difference, and that’s why we were willing to pay what we were. I, we, really appreciate it and hope that more people can see the bigger picture.
