Random List Monday
Doesn’t that have a lovely ring to it? Mondays are lukewarm at best, so why not jazz them up with a nice list without really committing to a theme:
1. My poor precious little love bug stuck her tongue to a metal pole at school today. This inspired a whole slew of various reactions from me all in the span of about three minutes. There was some laughter, some eye-rolling, some sadness and some mama rage. Now, I’m the first to admit that my girl has a sassy streak a mile long, but she wouldn’t just lick a pole for no reason (her mother on the other hand…) so someone put her up to it. She is four years old and I can’t help but think that maybe there should be some sort of supervision that is preventing things like this. I can only imagine how scary it must have been for her to be little and cold and now STUCK TO A POLE by her tongue and having to rip it off. But I also know that kids are kids and things happen very quickly and blah blah blah. It’s just hard when it’s MY kid, yanno? So when I get home, there will be freezies and kisses and a sit-down chat about when it’s ok to put poles in your mouth. On the other hand, maybe I’ll leave this chat to daddy…
2. Today is day one of Insanity. Y’all, I’m scared. I watched the first DVD last night (while enjoying a lovely vodka in the garage because why not) and I was equal parts terrified and excited, but the more I think about it and the more that I hear from people who have done it, the more I fully expect to have to write my next blog post from a puddle of my own vomit in my garage because I won’t be able to move. And in a weird way, that makes me excited all over again. Apparently I’m more of a masochist than even I thought I was.
3. I just rediscovered some Urban Decay eyeliner in my makeup case, which was an absolutely lovely way to start my day. It’s creamy and dark and it goes on like a dream. It makes me want to join a band, and not being in a band is my only regret in life. Not that I can actually do anything that is band-worthy, but I think that I would be a kick-ass band member. I might be a shitty singer, but I’m really good at drinking and wearing smudgy makeup and cleavage.
4. Monday should also be full of good music, so here is my latest discovery that I could happily have on repeat all day long.
Faithful readers, what are your favorite songs right now? I feel like I could spend the rest of my life just dancing around with my head thrown back and the music turned way up. I need additions to my playlist, please!
I love you, Kitten. So much.
I love you, too. Wanna be in my band?
of course! I already have a drum set, and I hear it’s a great arm workout.
Perfect! We have guitars so I can start there…but I want something shakier and hair-flippier!
No I’m supposed to say that!!! Ha ha. Want to be in MY band!?? The guys in my group always seem so excited to have a singer that is actually musically inclined besides that so they keep wanting me to play complicated keyboard parts, take over all miscellaneous percussion, maybe add some rhythm guitar and I’m like “oh hai! Just one person here!” So I’d say you could absolutely be in my band and at least pick up all the misc perc! The tambourine, clavi and mini maracas shall all be yours! Because 3/4 of the battle is just standing up there and looking like a rock star anyway. See? You’re 3/4 there without even trying! I’d even pull out my finger cymbals and let you have at ’em 🙂
Speaking of………… you want some new music? Well we are “Little Missiles” (Try it here) https://soundcloud.com/littlemissiles/tracks Hmm… and that’s maybe not working so also here: http://www.littlemissiles.com/#!music/c10tw Based on the vid you posted I feel like you’d like ‘Shade’ It’s kind of ethereal and awesome. OK, now I feel a little guilty like I finally reach back out and it’s all “hi? Remember me, pay attention to my self-promotion!” But you just hit a chord with me (unintentional pun!) by saying you regretted not being in a band. I’d felt that way for years and then about a year and a half ago I managed to somehow just DO it and it has been the best thing I’ve done in at least the past decade BY FAR! Seriously makes me so happy 🙂
OMG HI!!!! How are you????? I was so excited to see your face!
I’m going to check out your music today and then probably immediately pack my bags and move to wherever you are and WE WILL BE ROCK STARS! Well, you already ARE a rock star, but now we’ll be rock stars TOGETHER which will be ultimately more fun!
You are amazeballs girlfriend! Can’t wait to meet ya one day! So happy we family ♡♡♡
OK LYNETTE, FINE. You can be in the band, too!
So someone was watching A Christmas Story recently then! Poor Zofers, I hope she gets her revenge!
My current fav songs (and I’m sure you’ll hate them all…):
Warren Zevon-Keep me in your heart
The Magnetic Fields-The book of love
Sia-Breathe me
Bat for Lashes-A forest
Flogging Molly-Every dog has it’s day
Flogging Molly-If I ever leave this world alive
Disclosure-You and Me
Hooverphonic-Mad about you
Mumford and sons-I will wait
The Lumineers-Ho Hey
I have faith that Zo will get them back! I’ll for sure check out the songs!
I’d tell you my list of fav songs but you’d just laugh at me.. It’s pretty standard stuff plus I’m all about “Hair Nation XM” on Sirius. I’m hoping this is just a phase.
