Open House

I wanted to be sure to invite all of my blogging friends to the Campus Floral open house this Wednesday, November 9th from 11am-2pm. Visit the Campus Floral blog for a map and further details. We will have things to tempt your taste buds and floral eye candy to spark your imagination. Here's the kicker--Mindy Gledhill is going to be stopping by to sing a few songs for us. Yep, you heard me right. First of all, you know how much we love her CD, Anchor and now she has a new album out for Christmas--Christmas Moon. I've been listening to it since it came out and LOVE it. Really, it's Christmas magic. So, stop by and say hello. Just tell them "Michelle" sent you!

Blah, Blah, Black Friday

It's 7am and I'm sitting in my cozy bed with my hot apple cider. Shopping is so much more pleasant from this venue than the -10 degree Idaho air. Trust. Me. Pajamas, laptop, and credit card--that's all I need to kick off the holiday shopping. If you're wondering what I'm buying on this lovely BLACK Friday morn, I really can't say too much, but I will tell you that I'm getting free shipping and a few holiday treats for myself.

If you're looking for the perfect gift this year, might I make a suggestion? My cute friend (at least I like to hope we're friends), Lady Mindy Gledhill, is the brilliance behind my favorite album of 2010--ANCHOR. Seriously, I know I've said it before and I'll say it again--I LOVE this CD. Visit her website HERE to purchase a copy for all those you love. She even has them available at a great price $6.63 each if you buy a case of 30 OR you can get both Anchor and Feather in the Wind for the bargain price of just $19.98. Oh, and rumor is that she's personally hand wrapping them all. LOVE that about her.

I can't stop listening to this little ditty. LOVE IT!

Big Band Flashback

The Lawrence Welk Show is one of those childhood memories that I was reminded of recently. While we were in Boise last weekend, Aubri and Annette were caught singing the show's closing song to Malachi just before bedtime. I couldn't get it out of my head--SERIOUSLY! We all grew up watching the show at Grandma & Grandpa McNeels and now it's just a part of us. Finally, after days of singing it, I purchased it on iTunes yesterday just so I could learn the words. It's a catchy little number and now every night before I go to bed Lawrence and his big band sing me to sleep. I can't think of a better way to end my day.Good night, sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you
Here's a wish and prayer that every dream comes true
And though it's always sweet sorrow to part
I know you'll always remain in my heart

Good night, sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you
Here's a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true
And now 'til we meet again

Adios, au revior, auf weidersehen.....Good Night!

Fall in Love With You

For months, I've been listening to that catchy Lagoon jingle on the radio. It gets in my brain and is there ALL day. I did some research and here's the link to a free download of the sweet little song. I think the freeness of it might be just enough to convince me to buy a Lagoon season pass afterall. Calli--you ready for some Super Summer Samurai?

My Wintersong

I know Halloween is upon us. I know Christmas is still 2 months away. I know that Christmas music is still taboo. I know I don't care. I know I LOVE this album. Check it out. I know you'll love it, too.

New Kids Make My Weekend

Guess who has been listening to their new single all weekend? Is this some type of mid-life crisis or are my teenage hormones making a comeback as well. . .maybe it's the heat. I hope it's the heat.

It's All. . .

Strange LOVE. . .Koop.

Today's Soundtrack

Bing in October

I'm currently listening to Bing Crosby Christmas. I'll be home for Christmas. . .if only in my dreams.

Alisha and I picked acorns from a tree on-campus this afternoon. It's official--I have a bad case of Fall FEVER.

By the way--I'm ready to start eating spinach again. When will the ban be lifted?

Concert Recap

So I'm stealing these pictures from Alicia's blog because I'm a ding-dong and didn't charge my camera battery the night of the "big concert." Faith, Tim, Alicia, Calli, and I--together for a night of Soul2Soul. KWag--I hope your excellent concert adventure(s) this past weekend were as enjoyable as ours! Of course, even if I had my camera, I still wouldn't have been able to see anything because this freak girl sitting two rows in front of me thought it was her concert. She stood singing and dancing like a crazy loon the entire time. I'm all for getting into the concert and being excited--but this was beyond ridiculousness. After a while, we just started laughing. Oh, my--no wonder the guy sitting next to her sat slumped in his seat the entire performance. If I were him, I would have gone out for a root beer and never returned. Maybe Tim and Faith could write a song about it. "Love is like a river--strong and fast. Golly gee--How long will this concert last?"
Tim is perfectly wonderful. See him reaching down for my hand?
Wow--I'm bigger than life. L#2--you should know--those are ALL real and I checked--there is no such thing a triple B.

Riddle

LOVE the new Five for Fighting album. Riddle is awesome.

Can't sleep. My mind isn't tired. . .
