I resisted it until late last week, but then I turned my trusty friend Pandora to the Holiday Music station and grooved to Christmas tunes. In the last few years I’ve tried to highlight what I consider to be great remakes of carols. In some cases these remakes inspire a newfound love for carols I [...]
That’s Entertainment!
So I actually have finished not one, but TWO projects this week. The gloomy skies and occasional torrential rain have made photographs impossible, however, so you’ll have to content yourself with your imaginations today. Instead I’ll write about a few entertaining things I’ve been into lately.
First off, I’m VERY VERY late to the podcast-listening party, [...]
Things that make me happy:
Listening to this song on repeat.
Wearing my new work appropriate Madden Girl shoes to work and being able to wear handknit socks with them. (And the fact that Wes suggested I buy them a little big specifically so that I could do this!)
That Wednesday night is knit night EVERY WHERE I like to hang.
Last but [...]
Stuck in my head all night long.
Mairsy doats and dosey doats and liddle lamsy divy.Kiddley divy do, wouldn’t you, wouldn’nt you?
If the words sound queer and funny to your ear,A little bit jumpy jivey, sing:Mares eat oats and does eat oats, andLittle lambs eat i-ivy, oh…
Mairsy doats and dosey doats and liddle lamsy divy.Kiddley divy do, wouldn’t you, wouldn’t you?
Let it Rock.
Last night we all gathered at Blenda’s house to party a bit before I leave. Everyone came out in full force. The cooking was AMAZING. Blenda from Oz made sausage rolls, risotto balls, zucchini quiche, and veggie wraps. Blogless Will made his cooking debut with bacon wrapped dates and walnuts – I can’t believe [...]
The 12 Day of Christmas
Beware that this is not the typical Christmas carol… just watch for a few seconds and things really get going! This reminds me of a little ditty from the show “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Thanks to Blenda from Oz and a few others for pointing it out.
The Bear Went over the Mountain
To see what he could see.
The other side of the mountain was all that he could see.
The Bear Song by Green Jelly. Hopefully I’ll have a better sound clip posted soon.
And here comes Monday.
This weekend provided a much needed respite after the long week last week (and in anticipation of this upcoming week). Saturday was a relaxing day at home with the family, working on the wedding Save the Date cards (thanks to Frogpod Letterpress for the printing!), and discussing wedding plans. I now have a whole [...]
From my playlist to yours.
So in the past few weeks I’ve gotten really into music. Part of it is that Blenda from Oz keeps taking me to some great concerts. Part of it is that my whole group of friends are trading and borrowing cd’s as we hear great stuff and want to share. (Don’t even start with me [...]
Things that make me happy.
1. All the bosses being out today. Lots of reading and catching up to do in peace and quiet.
2. A Fine Frenzy’s One Cell in the Sea. Beautiful songs that keep me chair dancing all day long.
3. Guess what I gave in and got? Showing off my monkies in my crocs as we speak.
