Song of the Week

There has to be a way to make Tuesdays less "Only Tuesday-ish." I mean, at least Wednesdays are the "we're halfway through the week" days. But Tuesday is only Tuesday. *Sigh*


Anyway. Here we are.

And it's cold.

Squinting hard at the dark, brooding clouds outside though, I believe we might get some rain. Which is actually a silver lining because we have so much pollen right now. It is icky. The air is green.

What with the clouds and the cold and the smell of rain, this song just seems the logical choice.
I love this song. It's one that my Daddy listened to a lot when I was little. It just reminds me a lot of those days.

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again


The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain, please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain, won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again


Do any of you like some of the oldies songs? I'm rather picky with them, but the ones I do like, I really like. I'm not sure if it's just the memories attached to them or the actual music. 

I'm thinking about doing an Oldies Song of the Week for a little while. Just till I'm out of my favorite oldies. :) Switch things up a bit. 

Yes or no?

God Bless!

A whole lot of nothing.

The hardest part of writing a blog post is figuring out how to start it. Now that I've got the first sentence down, the rest of this post should be a breeze!

*Stares at ceiling.*

*Stares at floor*

*Phantom-types on the keyboard*

*Head-desk. Head-desk. Head-desk!*

Alright fine! I am struggling with this one!

Can you believe it's already June 11th? What the heck? My 2014 bucket list is staring me in the eyes accusingly and I'm just shrugging my shoulders like, "I know, right?"

But hey, summer's here and it's lovely. Check out these gorgeous flowers that grow in my yard. Don't they remind you of something from Tangled?

*Warbles, "Flower, gleam and glooow. Let your power...shiiiiine!* 


What's new with me? Oh, you know, this and that. Mostly nothing with a little bit of something here and there.

I found a slow motion setting on my camera.This has given me quite a lot of fun over the last few weeks. Slow motion can make anything look pretty cool.



I love blowing the fluff off of dandelions.  Makes me feel like this:



The best part of summer is being outside. I've been outside less this summer than I'd want to be, but I've managed to squeeze in some nice outside days here and there. ;)

There are a few things I've been keeping my eyes on that I'd very much like to buy for this summer. 

Like this nerf gun. 

I want to throw a big ol' picnic /party in the middle of nowhere. I want to set up an obstacle course and play an epic version of capture the flag. And I want to shoot people with nerf guns. And then I want to eat sandwiches and drink ice tea.  Who's with me?

These hairsticks. Because they are beautiful! 

This shirt.

I have been wanting one since the first Captain America movie came out. I should buy it. I might buy it.....
I will buy it! *Mwahahahahaha!* 


And that pretty much concludes the story of my life up to date. Just one thrilling thing after another! lol.

Anyway. Cherio, my good people.

God Bless
