Laughing at Sad Songs

September 6, 2007

I used to be a Sad Song fan. I loved all kinds, especially this one by Bonnie Raitt:

I still love this song, but I don’t feel the need to sing it and feel it always. Also this one by Phil Collins:

This morning I was listening to podcasts from a few weeks ago on This American [...]

Wish My Sister George…

August 12, 2007

Anyone remember on Bugs Bunny cartoons when he’d sit down at the piano and say with a cheesy grin, “I wish my brother George was here”?
Whenever Rob captures me playing piano, I always say that line, only this time he only caught the end of it. This is quite a rusty rendition of “not my [...]

Wayfaring Stranger

August 10, 2007

I am learning this song on the piano. Personally, I like the Eva Cassidy version, but this one’s good too.

R-E-S-C-U-E

July 10, 2007

R-E-S-C-U-E Rescue Aid Society
Head held high, touch the sky
You mean everything to me.
Just thought I’d share that bit of fun from The Rescuers. I started thinking about it this morning while I was getting ready to paint my back door. I wanted YOU to have the fun of it running through your head, too!

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya! Tomorrow!

July 8, 2007

Tomorrow begins my Clomid treatment. I am so excited and scared and nervous and happy. I just know this will work. But what if it doesn’t? What if I go nuts again?
God says, “I am with you, my daughter.”
Tomorrow is the first official day of Rob’s and my vacation. It’s only through Wednesday, but still, [...]

My Redeemer Lives

June 29, 2007

Yesterday was great, and I enjoyed many of the Lord’s blessings in my life: I saw a tractor in a field that had apparently run out of gas, so only half the field was plowed. The sight made my heart sing at its beauty, but more than that reminded me that the Lord has begun [...]

Bound for the Promise Land

May 16, 2007

I am learning a new song called Bound for the Promise Land. It’s in the Dorian Scale, whatever that means, and sounds very … minor-ish and somewhat dark. I adore it.
I am bound for the Promise Land. I am bound for the Promise Land. Oh who will come and go with me? I am bound [...]

I Got It

May 12, 2007

I was practicing piano last night, working on two pretty easy songs. And guess what!
I got it! I kinda sorta understand it now. My fingers move. The keys are stationary.
Woo-hoo!!!

Calzone for Breakfast

January 12, 2007

I’m working tonight, so that means this morning is a freebie. I should be cleaning house and working on a blanket I’m crocheting for my mom, but alas, no. I’m here with the lot of you, writing so that I can say I posted for today.
How’s about a laundry list?

I slept well. My new mattress [...]

Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel

December 3, 2006

 
Oh, Come, Oh, Come Emmanuel is one of my favorite Christmas Hymns. It was supposed to be the last song we sang this morning in church, but Rob was very concerned that we get out “on time” because someone was looking at the clock over their shoulder… so to appease them, he cut the service [...]

Mercy Reigns

November 19, 2006

Is there anything better than the harmony in Shane and Shane’s Mercy Reigns? Here’s a rather rough video I found on You Tube of my fave-oh-rite song these days. Enjoy!

Straight Up

October 25, 2006

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. As soon as I have more dollars in my iTunes account, I will download it. Until then, I shall watch it, courtesy of YouTube.

Tim David Kelly of Kicking Harold

August 12, 2006

I am the biggest nerd alive. I am sitting here at 7 AM, doing the happy dance in my mind. Why? Because Tim David Kelly visited my blog. TIM DAVID KELLY of Kicking Harold, singers of Gasoline on the TLC show Overhaulin’. He wrote the song. And he came to my blog and corrected me [...]

How Can I Keep From Singing?

July 9, 2006

I am now listening to Mercy Me’s “Homesick” song. I love the part that goes, “In Christ there are no goodbyes. In Christ there is no end. So I hold onto Jesus with all that I have to see you again. To see you again.” etc etc.
Auntie Laurel’s wedding was today. I have the video [...]
