I ♥ this song

Kiss the Rain. I'm not sure if it's a guilty pleasure song or not. (I know for sure lots of my other favorites are!)

Here's the video on YouTube. The sound is a little low but still worth a listen.

I'd like to post a song each Friday. They'll probably be random and have no insight on my life. Let me know what you think.

Happy Friday.

Seriously?

No one wants something made by me, just for them? I knit. I cook. I'm talented. Sign up for stuff!

I'm feeling like a loser with no one taking advantage of this. I know I have at least three readers. I have three, right?

I'm getting old.

I hate when guests at one's house answer their cell phone and just chat. It's not an emergency, just shooting the breeze. It's made worse when there are four calls answered in one visit. Am I so boring, such a bad entertainer my guests must answer their phones to escape enui?

Same with texting. Is it really necessary? Sure, one or two. Any more than that it's just rude.

I also hate it when the neighbor kids climb over the fence to get their ball. (I'm kidding about that one.)

Anyone else on the same page?

Yay! Free stuff!

Thanks, Candice, for the idea.

Here's how it works: The first five* people to leave me a comment get something made by me just for them. It can be anything I want, I get to choose. It can be silly or serious, edible or not, but don't plan on anything alive. There are a few rules involved (aren't there always?):

1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.

2- What I create will be just for you. Or who ever you re-gift it to.

3- It will be done sometime this year.

4- You have no clue what it's going to be. (The choice is mine! --insert evil laugh here--)

5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange and/or silly.

The catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 (or so) people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 (or so) people to do so and leave a comment telling me they've posted on their blog win a hand made, super creative, possibly lovely whatever in the heck I decide! Be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it.

--update--
Even if you don't want to post this on your blog I'll make you something. I'm a giver.

If I had a wish, round two.

Happy birthday, Cami!


I wish you time to lounge, an H&M in Salt Lake or a trip to any H&M location in Europe, more fun times with Keith, adorable maternity clothes, time to knit and nap, and new shoes.

Minnesota is Head and Shoulders above the rest.

For the first time in my life I have dandruff. From what I hear it's common out here because the winters are so dry and cold. Thanks, Minnesota.

Here are some more interesting tidbits about my life in Minnesota:

I love that there's no sales tax on clothing here.

The side street speed limit is 30 miles per hour. Every time I drive that fast on a side street I think of how the people on Harvard Avenue from 1300 East to 1100 East would have heart attacks if they knew I was going this fast. (I got yelled at to slow down when I was going 26.)

There is no good Mexican food here.

I love my job. It's, by far, the best job I've ever had.

There is no inversion or lake effect snow here.

Or rush hour.

We drive thirty minutes each way to church.

There is no Costco within 100 miles of us. ):

All the gas stations here have the same price all the time. It's weird. Most also advertise how much a pack of smokes costs.

How's that for class?
