New freezer purring in the garage. Weeds growing in garden. The outside temperature is 101 F and inside, even with the ceiling fan going, I just can't bring myself to knit.
Summer is here and the only thing to do is play and rest.
My two year contract is up on my phone... my flip phone...
...an embarrassment to my children and my favorite gadget - well, it's a toss up between this and the coffee maker. My children are encouraging me to go with an iPhone. My fear is I would spend all that money but would I use everything? Is it worth it? What do you think? Keep in mind your talking to the woman who just this past week had a sister-in-law call and tell me to check out Facebook to see some pictures she had posted. (Her grandson's new puppy - the two of them are so cute...) My question is - if someone's got to remind me to check Facebook do I need or want a phone that does everything? Or do folks get the iPhone and just do more - keep in touch more, etc.? I am curious -what do you think and what type of phone do you rely on?
This morning with coffee I listened to Nora Jones - love the voice and the piano. Then to get me in a clean the house mood I switched to Kelly Clarkson and picked up the kitchen while she sang "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)." Nietzsche would be so proud.
Sometimes in the summer, especially on really hot days, I turn up "We're An American Band" by Grand Funk Railroad and I'm transported to the summer of '74. I love how music does that. You can like the music or the times when you first heard the music.
I'm curious - what kind of music do you listen to? At this moment in time what is your favorite song?

Under the Influence of a Blog
![]() |
| Christmas Day long ago and far away... I am no where near putting up the tree, but be of good cheer - don't worry about me, I've spent the day cleaning with the songs of the season, And after hours of 'Jingle Bells' my mind can not reason. I leave you now to sleep, dream, and snore, Tomorrow I hope to finish housework and chores. Then I will decorate, gifts I will wrap, and I promise NO MORE DR. SEUSS! this post sounds like crap. * This feeble attempt at poetry was caused by Suzanne, COLORADOLADY, who mentioned HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS and I watched and can tell you honestly, Dr. Seuss and blogging is a dangerous combination. For Vintage Thingy Thursday I'm going with vintage Christmas Music. I could listen to Christmas music all year long. I sang Christmas carols and songs to my babies when I got tired of lullabies - I could only remember the first verse of most lullabies and my babies never were asleep after one verse... or one song. These days I try to wait and only listen during Advent (maybe a week or so before) until about the first week of January. With the events of the last few weeks I'm off to a slow start and just started listening on Tuesday. Once the music starts I get in the mood to clean the house and decorate for Christmas. I figure anything that can make me want to clean house is truly amazing and (maybe) even a miracle... |
