Ingrid Michaelson on Carson Daly - "The Way I Am"

This soothes my soul.



Have a good Friday!

Music Box by Regina Spektor

This is cute! I don't know what it is lately (think I'm watching to much TV - it's Premiere Week!) but I'm getting these songs stuck in my head.... and they are just yearning to get out...

Feist 1234

I just love this! I think it is spunky, fresh, unique and original. Go check out some of her other stuff! Have a great day :)

Lisa's Fall Line Up!

Monday night it's NBC all night!

• Chuck - I'm going to watch the pilot and then decide if I should keep up with it permanently. It looks light hearted with a goofy secret agent twist. Could be cute. I will let ya know.
• HEROES! Ok, just to let y'all know, I need no interruptions while watching this show, no phone calls, no looking at me, no talking to me, let me have my space, Please people! Oh, and you absolutely must take a look at the graphic novels, well if you are a fan like me you already know about the novels, and you have gleaned some of what maybe in store for future shows.. did you get all the clues?
  
• Journeyman - Another newbie that I'm thinkin' I might like... I loved Quantum Leap, so this might be a more modern fix.

Tuesday night it's F.O.X. (Can you spell Dog? uh, Cat maybe) F.O.X

• BONES - Back for more. I love the chemistry in this show and how all the cases are solved and Bones seems to be out of touch with humanity itself, but is slowly learning all this human stuff.
  
• The Doctor is in the HOUSE! No explanation necessary...

Wednesday night... who will win my undivided attention... it's pretty iffy at this point. I just don't know. A girl does need a night off and you can only watch so much television.. but I might take a gander at Pushing Daisies. Just don't know yet.

Thursday night! Seriously! Seriously! Grey's Anatomy ! Another night of hold the phone, no looking at me, no talking to me... well you get the point. I only have three shows I feel this way about. I love the blog. Have you read it?

Friday night.. hangs in the balances. I'm waiting for Men In Trees and I think Medium is going to be returning to Friday's but I don't know, so just waiting it out.

Saturday, is my day with my man. And I don't really care to watch television that day.

Sunday night! Cat fight! oh no, I mean Desperate Housewives. Love this show, which means.. No, well you get it!

And that folks is my Fall Line Up. Of course there will be some shows added here and there like maybe my one little reality indulgence, Project Runway. I have no idea if there will be a season 4.


And, this is what it looks like these days. It was actually a very nice sunny day, clear and cold. I knew there would be snow up there when the clouds moved away. I like the change in the season. Pretty soon it will all be white! but maybe not. I have heard of "green" winters.

You Never Know!

Ok, so here's the deal... Its my birthday today!!! 34.. Glad I made it this far.
And if you will notice in the picture above, two items that were on my wish list(to the left)
have miraculously made it into the Birthday Loot picture..
How did that happen? You ask...
Well it seems I have some sneaky lurkers, Sneaky Lurkers who Love me!
Isn't that just the sweetest thing. Who doesn't like to get pleasantly surprised
by things they actually like or want for that matter. I'm blessed.
The frames in the picture... well that's another story.
Most Saturdays the DH & I meet my MIL for coffee at our fav little coffee shop, Jitters.
Now if you know Alaskans, they like their coffee and if art comes with it, even better.
Jitters is joined by Picture This Art Gallery.
And after we've had our coffee (mocha breve, 1/4 shot vanilla, no whip for me) and
maybe a bite to eat, good conversation, maybe run into a friend or two,
we go next door to Picture This and browse through "what's new." Fun, Fun, Fun.
Well, not to long ago, they had this amazing sale on picture frames and I just love frames..
and I mentioned if any one was looking for ideas, here's one, here's one, here's one and
here's one... You get the point..
Guess what!?! It worked! How brilliant is that? Thanks MIL & FIL!

And other Booty...

From family in Mississippi. Thanks Mother, Callie & Tyler! I love you guys!!
You should hear the two bottom cards, there's gotta be a new word for
Absolutely Hilarious! What a riot.

I also got the most beautiful bouquet of roses and stargazer lilies from my DH
today at work. I told all the guys I work with, they gotta
start takin' notes!

I've had a very lovely birthday! You never know who's listening when your
making a wish so don't be afraid to drop a hint every now and again.
You might just get pleasantly surprised!

SWEET SURPRISE!!

And I do mean sweet! Take a look at this! I have never received anything from anyone internationally. How fun. Even though Canada is practically next door. I just love Love LOVE! this package!! Can you feel my excitement yet! I so needed it too. DH is in the hospital and has been since Thursday and I've not been feeling well and well... this package did the trick... or treat.. which one.. BOTH!
This Sweet Surprise was sent to me from Sasha. I have been enjoying her blog and all that it has led me to since I received her name for the RVA Favorite Things Swap.

Great minds is right! I sent her a spice and I got a spicy candle. Oh it has the most amazing smell.. I wish I could share the smell its so nice. I sent her a music cd, I got a music cd. I sent her something orange, I got something orange. I sent her something very southern and she sent me something very Canadian! And the cotton candy lip gloss, absolutely divine! That's my favorite type of applicator. Sasha couldn't have did a better job if she had known me for a 100 years. I love it every bit even down to the confetti. And when this lady says she likes to put a nice package together.. I think she sincerely means it. Thank you so very much Sasha for making my day and Thank you RVA for introducing me to swapping!!

Airborne, Tissues & Hot Tea...

So last week sometime my DH came home and said that the office was passin' around this crud, ew! I told him right away, "I don't want to get sick, go take an Airborne right now!" He did and did the rest of the week and right through the weekend. I should have followed that wonderful advice.. because here I sit with a box of tissue and hot tea wishing my eyes would quit tearing up, my fever would go away and my nose would quit running. I'm just plain miserable. I missed work yesterday, today and will tomorrow. Next time I'll take a dose of my own medicine.. LOL! Good night!
