A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma...

So two whole days just flew right by.... Really, I did try to get a Music Monday done, but there was just so much other crap to be done. The days just slipped right on by. So here we are, Hump Day . What other song would fit? Plus, when you happen to mention ' doing the humpty hump ' more than once in a week, well this song HAS to get the heck outta your head. And I DID reference this song more than once this week....so you know things are a bit crazy..... source And why the heck not dance? I find in times of great stress, even the thought of dancing eases the stress a little , especially in the kitchen while making dinner (which I do regularly...). As Mr. Humpty Hump says: I'm spunky. I like my oatmeal lumpy. So, outta my head, into yours.  This little retro hip hop rap ditty is sure to get you through this hump day.

It's been a while. I keep wanting to get a Music Monday done. I keep picking songs, even have a Two for Tuesday picked. But when it came to writing, I was at a loss. Nothing to give. Yes, I have written about having nothing to write about. A f ew times , and then some more . It is every writers problem, at one time or another. So I will save those songs when I feel the reason I picked them in the first place. But this song I heard, and I just felt like writing. I was avoiding the Debate last Wednesday, actually. Hubby wanted to 'witness history' or something like that. Me? Nope. I honestly have such a strong dislike for Trump, that listening to him at all gets me in such an annoyed and angry state it takes me a long time to recover from. I haven't uttered much about the election or the candidates for this reason. It is best for me to just put headphones on and listen to some good music and stay in my happy place. Anyway, to drown out the blathering on TV, I put ...

Today, I was.  I got some pictures done and some new, old vintage stuff listed.  Whiting & Davis Gold Mesh Handbag I think I would have loved living in the Roaring 20's . I love the fashion, and probably would have cut a rug or two with The Charleston .  Things seem to have been much more elegant. Gold Mesh Compact or Cigarette Case As I sit here in my jeans and a sweatshirt. Ronson Crown Lighter 1930's era Ah well, at least I can show some beautiful things from back then.  I did get to enjoy the era in its fullest a while back with The Great Gatsby . (I loved it !) I actually like F. Scott Fitzgerald 's work , and his real life story is an intriguing snapshot of the times. I almost wish I could have lived then. Art Nouveau Pedestal available at The Regeneration Station or through Blue Rage of Asheville Well back to modern times.  Tomorrow I will be listing some new Jewelry by Bridget, Glass Pendant by Jewelry by Bridget ...

Yes sir, It's Monday! This week we are celebrating two things - first, so far the highlight of the month for me, a perfect Mother's Day gift was going to see  The  Great Gatsby . I have always loved the Roaring 20's era, the fashions in particular. The dresses, the headpieces, the dances, the parties. It seemed like a crazy fun time. The Buildings Were Higher, The Parties Were Bigger, The Morals Were Looser and the Liquor Was Cheaper. ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald The second thing to celebrate is my youngest son's birthday (today) and his interest in the same era. He has discovered music and films from this time period, and into the 1930's, and makes us all listen and watch movies from then. (Let me tell you the movies from the 1930's I find difficult to get through...if it wasn't for the colorful and amusing language I wouldn't make it through ANY of them) So to celebrate his birthday, and the great time I had at the movies with the whole family, here is ...

Makes Me Wanna Stay. Don't It?  Source:   piccsy.com   via   Rebecca   on   Pinterest Yes, I arranged to have 2 days off in a row this week, Tuesday and Wednesday. I spent the latter part of Monday at work, sick. And I spent my day off yesterday sick, of course. You are only sick on your days off. I didn't even get my walk/run in. I didn't get my Music Monday done. I didn't cook. I didn't even get dressed until 3:30pm.  I have to say it was great to just sit and rest ALL DAY long. I really didn't feel like doing anything else, and that I knew I had another whole day where I didn't HAVE to get in by 11am and open and be stuck at the shop all day, well it just makes me wanna stay and waste some more time. Wasting time Let the hours roll by Doing nothing for the fun Little taste of the good life Whether right or wrong Makes us want to stay stay stay stay for awhile This song reminds me of our time in the Caribbean - t...

I was feeling uninspired this morning for Walking on Wednesday. Just didn't know what to write about. Often in these circumstances, the thing that gets me out of the rut is actually a nice walk. It gets the blood flowing, leaves me with only myself, and the dog, and whatever squirrel we come across with the occasional dog barking. So today I got on my walking clothes, got the leash and poop bag, put on my walking shoes. I was ready for a nice mind clearing walk. I go out side, chat a minute with hubby who is having his morning smoke with coffee outside, and what happens? It starts to rain. I think, "oh, just sprinkling, maybe I could get a quick walk in". Before I finish this thought, it begins to pour. So there I am, ready to walk, the dog just as excited as ever because she loves walks. And I say "No walk today, back inside Lady J". She pauses, looks confused, and finally gets it as I head inside. Great, no walk today. I did not feel like getting wet,...
