Saturdays Song-Dream a Little Dream of Me

I know it's not Saturday anymore, but yesterday was a bit hectic, between coming back from Maryland, unpacking things and paying attention to this little attention starved bunny.

Today has been a bit more serene albeit frigid. Ya see, Shaun and I have both been having slight allergy problems since moving into the new house. That's nothing really out of the ordinary, we both suffer from allergies, but never usually around this time of year, indoors and to the extent they are occuring.  So Shaun got to googling yesterday to see why the house hates us and I recommended that when the weather gets nicer we should open all the windows and do a full clean wiping down everything and de-allergizing things (wow spellcheck didn't tell me that was a fake word!).  So today it got to 50 and of course, since he didn't have to suffer through the not-really-that-warm temperatures, Shaun opened all the windows and left me and Meatwad to shiver like little popsicles.

Needless to say it got a bit chilly, I closed the majority of the windows a few hours ago since I could no longer feel my hands and Meatwad was hunched up in a little ball next to the fireplace, praying that I flick the switch and deliver him some much needed relief.

So after spending a nice peaceful day, snapping etsy inventory photos, attempting at organizing the craft room and making some crockpot chili I am finally getting back to my blogging. It's been a Louis Armstrong type of day and even though this is mainly Ella Fitzgerald, it's one of the happiest, most magical, enchanting songs ever made in my opinion. So simple, so beautiful, timeless, you just can't go wrong with this great classic! So here's to a warmer, chili and jazz-filled Sunday afternoon and the newest episode of The Walking Dead!

Mondays Music (a few days late)

I've been trying to keep up with blogging, I really have. It's not like I procrastinate on purpose, I really enjoy blogging but it's been a hectic week with house stuffs, canceling our internet to get it set up at the new house and packing our entire lives into cardboard boxes.

 

So next week (Monday) when I have internet again I should be good to go for blogging a couple times a week when I actually intend to blog.

 

For now it will have to be a very belated Monday's Music to not only help me start my week but finish it.

 

 

The Pretenders-Brass in Pocket

 

 

Mondays music became Song for Saturday-Modest Mouse

Monday was the start to a very dreary week. On Monday it took a bit longer for the daylight to begin. The sun was there but refused to peek out from behind the greyness of the morning. It could be the fog that settles itself in the valleys and in between the bare branches of the trees.

On my way in to work, in my rear view mirror, headlights cutting through the settled cloud resemble cookie crumbs at the bottom of a glass of milk. To say Monday set the tone for the rest of the week is an understatement. I was put through the ringer this week. The stress that has been building up for years, for months for weeks and days finally made me come to a breaking point.

Needless to say, Monday wasn't the appropriate time for this awesome song, it was more of a Bon Iver-Blood Bank type of day. So without further ado, Modest Mouse with Missed the Boat

Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer-Big Country

This song makes me think of driving through the country, wide open spaces, cow farms and sunny days.
