Ahh...

THIS is my official drink of Summer.  NOT Country Time Lemonade, like the ad on Pandora was trying to convince me.  Orange Fanta always has and always will be Summer for me.  It's my fave...thank heavens that I discovered Fanta Zero (a big THANK YOU goes out to the happy people at the Coca-Cola Company for their Zero genius!)!  And, I especially love it with my awesome blue straw...

Much Love,

Oooh...

I am SO excited for this!  I downloaded the book today!
I heart my Nook so much!

Best. Trip. Ever...!

Thank you, Orlando for:

making me dizzy
and a little bit nauseous
and giddy
and exhausted
and hungry
and HOT
and dampish
and soaked
and full
making me scream
and laugh-a lot...
fanta twist floats
the Tower
meeting the Yeti (again...and again...and again...)
foot-long churros
Vinylmation
front row
and back row
Aerosmith with sub woofers
the great people watching...

...and these:

{YES! We were in the front row!!}

{Another front row!}

{This one we were in the back for all but 1 or the 5 times we rode it...in one day...}

{I SOOO loved this ride!  It's in the dark-but this video has the lights on...}

{AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN!!!!!}

(I didn't take any of these videos...they were all borrowed from YouTube... )

Pictures will come soon...I promise!

Much Love,

Old...yellow...different...

Those aren't what you think they are.  I know what you're thinking...because I thought it too.  I know you think they look like old, withered, jaundiced...bits.
But they're not.
They're old, withered...lemon slices.
I cut up a hand full of old lemons to simmer on the stove...and these just happened to float-then dance-on the top...

Sorry to make you snot.

Much Love,

Oblivion...

The other day I rewatched The Stepford Wives-the awesome 2004 version-and got to thinking:

How nice...

Now, don't get all medieval womans rights on me.  Hear me out:

How nice would it be to have the perfect:
body
hair
nails
family
house
meals
cupcakes (Ooooh...the cupcakes...)
life...?
AND...how nice would it be to have time to do it all...WHILE you're being the person everyone thinks you should be. Seriously? HOW NICE WOULD THAT BE?!

Sometimes I really wish...

Much Love,

"It's like an iPod for my books"...

BUT, I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! :)

...The countdown begins...

Day: The Fourteenth...

Day 14 - put your ipod on shuffle and write ten songs that pop up...

 

YAY!  Today is the day that I've been waiting for!  I have over 7000 songs and books and scripture and videos and happy things on my iPod...it should be interesting to see what surfaces...  ;)
 
10 Totally Random Bits of iPod Bliss:

1. Magical Mystery Tour - Cheap Trick, Greatest Hits
2. All That's Yet To Come - Glen Burtnik, Welcome to Hollywood
3. Suite From The Polar Express - Alan Silvestri, The Polar Express
4. Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down, The Better Life
5. X-Ray Eyes - Kiss, Dynasty
6. Ch. 03 Acts (New Testament).  Yep.  The Bible.
7. Mother Dear - Styx, Equinox
8. Ch. 24 Matthew (New Testament)
9. Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd, (Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd)
10. Here Comes Santa Claus - .38 Special, A Wild-Eyed Christmas Night

I LOVE that two Christmas songs and two New Testament chapters pulled up! 

Here's some fun info: I absolutely ADORE song #2 (and was chosen to add a blurb of ME on Glen's opening song when this happy CD is plugged into a computer!). I can play a bit of song #4 on my guitar, and song #9 is on my top 10 list of all time favorite songs. And of course, band #7 is my fave of faves...always and forever.  I heart Styx.  SO much...

Much Love,
