Birthday!

A little shout out to Cindy B! It's her birthday! Holla!

Headache!

I have a headache. I've had a headache for like.....5 days. And the thing is...when I get a headache, things in my brain go kind of ridiculous. Everything is off. It's kind of like when your hair does a weird thing and you just feel "off" all day. Actually, I looked in the mirror a couple of days ago while at work and realized that I'd forgotten to put my mascara on. It was like I had no eyelashes and it was seriously disconcerting. Even though probably nobody cared, I spent the rest of my day wondering if people thought I had done away with my eyelashes. Either way, things are off.

White kids can't sing the blues

I was at my sons choir concert last night and feeling very ready to hear my son and his cohorts sing some classy fabulous chorale arrangements. Turns out the entire program for the evening was popular music including a little jazz and blues. This was not a good idea.
It's not that I didn't like the music. It was fabulous! A little beatles, some Styx, and even some Aretha (quick bow to the mother of Blues). It's just that it was ....white kids. I realize I am a "white kid" myself, but have you ever heard a bunch of fourteen year olds try to rock "Baby you can drive my car"? It's not a good thing. I've never heard syncopation be so amazingly...even.
The highlight of the evening was of course, the 8th grade boys choir. They sang "Sail Away" and they were rockin the 70's when they added an electric guitar, drums and yes...a synthesizer. Way too cute.

Scrapbooking Day

These are a couple of pages of digital scrapbooking I did awhile back. Why do I post these today? Today is National Scrapbooking Day. Can you believe it? A whole day to celebrate scrapbooking. Yes! I've had it marked on my calendar because my favorite scrapbook store has 25% off the whole store all day plus free Make n Takes this afternoon.

So here's the bad part. I'm sick. I woke up this morning with aches, chills and a hacking cough. So now I'm sitting here in my recliner with a Chihuahua curled up on my legs (sigh!) having to celebrate scrapbook day vicariously. Maybe I'll just visit scrapbook blogs on the web all day and see what other people are doing. I really was hoping to go to the store and get cutesy paper and fancy stickers and say "That is darling!" (my husband hates it when I say that) to all the new products. Great. I guess I'll just sit here and not know what's new and hot in the scrapbooking world. I'll watch National Lampoon's vacation for the 100th time (that part actually makes me happy) and feel sorry for myself. You should too.
