Weekly Music Pick

No one knows about these guys. So let me introduce you to SafteySuit. They are great.

Happy 100th Blog to me!! And Happy Birthday to Clayton

Happy Birthday to my brother Clayton. He turns 25 today. I have been thinking about where I was when I turned 25. I was in Ct actually. My first birthday out there. Who knew my life was going to change in so many ways. I keep teasing him about having a "quarter-life crisis". He is pretty grounded though.. new wife, new life. He'll be fine.

Happy 25th Clay.... your sister loves you!

I absolutely stole this...

Just to preface, I stole this from my friend Lisa Lewis' blog... she loves me anyway.

Jean-Dominique Bauby

"Other letters simply relate the small events that punctuate the passage of time: roses picked at dusk, the laziness of a rainy Sunday, a child crying himself to sleep. Capturing the moment, these small slices of life, these small gusts of happiness, move me more deeply than all the rest. A couple of lines or eight pages, a Middle Eastern stamp or a suburban postmark...I hoard all these letters like a treasure. One day I hope to fasten them end to end in a half mile streamer to float in the wind like a banner raised to the glory of friendship."- The Diving Bell and the Butterfly



About the author: On December 8, 1995 at the age of 43, Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a massive stroke. When he woke up twenty days later, he found he was entirely speechless; he could only blink his left eyelid. This rare condition is called Locked-in Syndrome, a condition wherein the mental faculties are intact but the entire body is paralyzed. Despite his condition, he wrote the book The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by blinking hen the correct letter was reached by a person slowly reciting the alphabet over and over again.

Music Pick of the Week

This is Tony Bennett and Bono. Such a suprising match, but it works so well! Love it. I am in an "old school" mood with music lately. The old stuff-- Frank, Billie, Tony, Dean, Rod... yeah. The good stuff.

ENJOY!

A Favorite Thing...

so this week my favorite thing are these wasp catchers. I find them so darn charming! I bought mine at Target in the lawn and garden section. I think I might have found something to collect. They come in many different colors and sizes. And of course I don't use them for wasp catching. They are too cute for that!

I work too much

I work way too much. I work about 60-70 hours a week. And I have yet to see any overtime.

So.... I have decided that that means I need a vacation. I just know it will involve a beach. A warm beach. And I want to get sunburned just so I know that I am still alive. Wanna come?

I am really upset...

I hate the weather this time of year. I think it is just a joke between Mother Nature...and who ever is in charge of making snow. It reminds me of those two fairies on Sleeping Beauty... the pink one and the blue one. Remember them? Flora and Merryweather? When Sleeping Beauty is dancing at the end with Prince Phillip, they change the dress she is wearing over and over...

"Make it blue..."

"Make it pink..."

And that is what I feel like the month of March is. An argument with Mother Nature and Jack Frost.

"Make it Spring..."

"Make it Winter..."

It was a GORGEOUS 75 degrees outside yesterday. I was at a MLS game, and just sat in the sun with a HUGE smile on my face. I was in need of the Vitamin D. And tonight... it is snowing outside. Ugh!

"Make it Spring!"
