It Was A Dark & Dreary Night...

Oh wait, we've already been down this road before!  I told you the story about the fun college friend who liked to begin his stories that way and then he would switch it up and have us all laughing so hard it hurt.

So, we won't go down that road again.  Although in all fairness, I will probably repeat myself at some point, so hopefully you won't mind too much.

Have you had a chance to listen to my musical selection yet?  When I went for my exercise walk with my dad and my brother this morning, my brother - Kelly, informed me that he had spent a good portion of the morning listening to a-ha before meeting me to walk.  If I remember right, he ws the one that had that original album - Scoundrel Days and I just had a copy.  That is until I got my own copy!

Tonight, I am going to share a swap card from my good friend Diana.  And then it's beddy bye for me.  Diana loaned me a couple books.  And oh my, they are so good I just cannot put them down.  I think I've read like 500 pages in like 3 days or something.  And I just don't read that fast.  So, my eyes are a little tired and are telling me that it is definitely time to take it easy tonight and get some much needed sleep.

Here is her beautiful card using the Dark & Dreary stamp set in Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catalog.

Goodnight to all & see you tomorrow night!

Music Monday - An Oldie . . .


Let's go back in time a little.  It's the early 80's and this young, unknown band from Norway blasted onto the music scene with their amazing animated video to a very catchy tune titled Take on Me.  We just couldn't get enough of the song and video.  And unlike the video from Beyonce for Single Ladies that Kanye West so rudely declared "the best video of all-time (not sure where he got that idea from).  This particular video was amazing to watch. 

A-ha had the most success here in the US with their debut album, Hunting High and Low, which contained Take on Me among other hits.  And yes, there are many songs on it that I still enjoy listening to to this day.  But, for me, their second album, Scoundrel Days was the better choice.  And, my favorite song by a-ha was on Scoundrel Days.  It remains one of my all-time favorite songs and is one that I listen to often almost 20 years later.  The song is titled I've Been Losing You.

I hope that you will take listen to this song.  I have added a link to You Tube on my site and will keep it there until my next musical posting.  It's a song that I have listened to all of my adult life and have gotten much inspiration from it, it just puts me in a great mood.  I love how music can do that - uplift you.

Would you Believe it?

Something I thought would never happen, I have no pictures to share.  Sorry.  I spent my day at home with a sick child.  Nothing serious, just an upset stomach.  And since he wasn't achy all over or feverish, he felt pretty great.  That is except for the rumbling in his tummy.  So, that means computer games!

My husband has connected all of our computers together locally so that we can play some really fun strategy games together.  We use the intercom on our phones to chat with each other since my computer is in a completely different area of the house.  We have a great time playing the games together.  And, honestly, part of me figures, as long as he wants to play those games with me, I am willing to also.  (Although I do really enjoy them too!)

So, that was my day.  Tomorrow hopefully we are back to business as usual and I will have more fun things to share.  Oh, wait a minute . . . I do have a picture to share one of me and my son from our trip a few years ago to Sea World in San Diego.  This was definitely a happier day than he was feeling today.


I hope you all had a great Thursday - with no upset stomachs.  And look forward to the weekend!  Thanks so much for stopping in.
