“Not Ready to Make Nice” – Dixie Chicks

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying it

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time
To go round and round and round

It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
Cause I’m mad as hell, can’t bring myself
To do what it is you think I should

I know you said
Can’t you just get over it?
It turned my whole world around
And I kinda like it

FORGET? HELL, NO! FORGIVE? NEVER!

The kitties and me uncorked an ancient bottle of COPPOLA wine…and we are celebrating! In the middle of the afternoon? Here’s to us! And to the final chapter of misogyny (if only in our minds) and to just instead meowing LA, LA, LA right out loud drowning out gruffness and incompetence and condescension and second guessing and intimidation and peacocking and stereotyping and put downs and blow offs and lack of appreciation in all of its passive-aggressive forms.

CHEERS! we are dancing a little, crying (why not?) and laughing and purring…so the heart attacks and strokes are subsiding at last. What a fiendish summer WE ENDURED – the next biggie being the holidays! May the merry, merry option continue! UNCLE!

“Bad Mood” – Miley Cyrus

[Intro]
(Ooh) I wake up in a bad mood
(Ooh) I wake up in a bad mood

[Verse 1]
I always wake up in a bad mood
I can never fall asleep
I’m always thinkin’ bout you
What life would be if we didn’t meet
I always wake up in a bad mood
Open my eyes then I’m on my feet
And I wonder what you would do, yeah
If you couldn’t rely on me

[Chorus]
(Ooh) I wake up in a bad mood
(Ooh) I wake up in a bad mood
And you know that I got the proof
We’re held together just by a string
And while you’re hangin’ round with your crew
I’m here balancin’ too many things

[Verse 2]
I always wake up in a bad mood
I’m sick of rushing straight to the sink
You’re acting like you ain’t got the news
I don’t even really care what you think
But what I do, you know I do with love
I believe in more than you can see
And you know I’m never givin’ up
I ain’t stoppin’ till I know I’m free

[Chorus 2]
(Ooh) I wake up in a bad mood
(Ooh) I wake up in a bad mood
The glass ceilings gotta break
All together, wanna hear ya say
“I don’t know how much more it can take”

[Bridge]
You know it’s gone on way too long (don’t ya?)
And you know it’s wrong (don’t ya?)
But I know I’m strong (don’t ya?)
I don’t give up (no sir)
And when it gets rough (rough)
I get tough (tough)
I’ve had enough

[Chorus 3]
(Ooh) I wake up in a bad mood
(Ooh) I wake up in a bad mood
And when the light starts getting dim
I’ll open windows up and let it in
Sometimes it feels like it’s ’bout to end
Before it’s all about to begin

[Outro]
(Ooh) I wake up in a bad mood
(Ooh) I wake up in a bad mood
