Music makes the world go round !

Hey peeps, hope you had a great weekend. Today the sun is shining, things are moving along with my work and I am a bit more happy than usual. Must have been the extra iced coffee that I just got on lunch !

I love music. I have very eclectic taste in it. I really love all genres of it besides hard core metal. I love oldies, Big Band, Alternative, Pop, hip hop, reggae, dance, Indie, yep and even country. I narrowed it down a top four that are my favorites. Wanna know? Yep thought so.

In no particular order.

Dave Matthews Band

My favorite song : Jimi Thing, with lyrics like " What I want is what I've not got, But what I need is all around me, Reaching searching never stop " how could you not think they are genius !

I can honestly say there is not one song by this band that I do not like. I've seen them 5 times in concert and loved it every time. The best was in Central Park. What a magical evening it was !

Bjork

Too many favorite songs but these lyrics from "One Day" really stick to me.

One day, it will happen
One day, it will all come true.

One day, when you're ready
One day, when you're up to it.

The atmosphere
Will get lighter
And two suns ready
To shine just for you
I can feel it, I can feel it.

Ella Fitzgerald

This lady has a set of pipes on her. Love her smooth romantic sounds to pieces. I love the version she does of "Mack the Knife," she forgets the lyrics mid way through and ad libs. So amazing !

And Led Zeppelin

.

When I was little my sister Dawn would babysit me a lot. Led Zeppelin will always remind me of her. Zeppelin, Ozzy and freestyle were the soundtrack to my childhood.

My favorite song : "Fool in the rain" Specifically listening to it in loud volumes. Amazing.

Who is your favorite?

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

It's no secret...

that our bodies can do amazing things. Especially us women. It's also no secret that we are almost suffocated with the image of what the "perfect "woman should look like. Does that person really exist in life without a cook, maid, personal trainer, butler, life coach, plastic surgeon, etc. etc? Who knows. What I do know is this, I have seen beautiful women in my life, many of them. And guess what? They are not what are in those photo-shopped magazines. They are just simply beautiful. When we make the decision to have a baby, of course we wonder what is going to happen to our bodies? Will we gain 200lbs? We will get stretch marks? Will we be able to lose the weight we gain? And maybe some don't even worry because they are just happy with being pregnant. For me, I was happy to be pregnant. I was overweight to begin with and my first trimester was a doozie. I ended up losing weight then(don't worry I gained it back) But I didn't gain too much because I had...
