Friday 'Virtual' Date Night:...Music and Breakfast For Dinner!

(Red Autumn Leaves Fine Art Photo from bomobob)

       It's that time again! Time to take off with my baby for the weekend! :-) I'll tell you where we're going in tomorrow's post, but the header photo is a big clue!...If you know where this is I mean. :-))

     Another clue to our destination tonight is that we're not gonna eat dinner there. We're having breakfast!! :-) I know...it makes no sense how we can go on a Friday Date 'NIGHT' and have a 'MORNING' meal...but it'll make perfect sense when I explain it to you tomorrow...I promise. ^_^   

     Anyway!!!...To get me in the mood for going out with my baby, I had to turn to my favorite 'pick-me-up'....MUSIC! :-) With the busy schedule of things we've had to do, and the family goings on around here lately,....and of course my being so exhausted the last few days!,...I almost told hubby to cancel our outing tonight. 

      But then I started to feel a little better last night, even though IT SNOWED!!! O_0 ...and this morning it's not so bad either...so I decided that with a little 'shot to the attitude' I could get up for it!! :-] And is there any better way to give your attitude a little 'shot' than good old harmonious, feet tapping, bouncy MUSIC?!!...I think not! ^_^ So, all three of those categories...harmony...feet-tapping...and bouncy...are represented below. :-)

       Take a minute and give your attitude a little shot too! ^_^

(The Dixie Chicks...Landslide)

        Okay...harmony down! How about 'feet-tapping'? Let's try this.....

(Bonnie Raitt and Bruce Hornsby...Thing Called Love)
        If your feet aren't tapping..."WHAT ARE YOU?! A block of stone?"!! LOL...Okay...toe-tapping down!...How about bouncy?! :-) ...

(Aretha Franklin...Freeway of Love)

       Now, if you skipped the music you'll have no understanding of me saying: I AM READY FOR DATE NIGHT NOW BABY!!! :-))

       I'm going off to continue getting my 'dance' on!! ^_^ I love music!!...*doing a John Travolta move*...Have a good weekend everybody!! What are you doing tonight?! And is music included?! :-)

A Music Note

A little 'boogie-woogie' bouncing,
and a tapping toe or two,
and my mood is quickly lifting,
and I want to dance with you.

A little harmony and humming,
and some soul and country too,
and I'm feeling pretty chipper.
So "Let's dance!" My poem is through! 

I Needed Some 'Happy' and......I Got It!!!

      When you're having a bad day, like I was having yesterday, it's nice when you can see that 'someone' is going out of their way to help you get encouragement. :-) And that's what happened to me! 
     I wanted to take a long nap...longer than my usual I mean... ^_^ ...and wake up and have the day have been a bad dream. But no!....It was real alright!! So, the next best thing to a 'Nap-of Forgetfulness' was being able to redirect my mind into a positive place. And thanks to some Bible reading, music, crocheting, and wonderfully encouraging comments from all of you, it worked! I'm in a much better mental place this morning! :-) Your thoughtful words were very appreciated. THANK YOU! 
      And also appreciated was this quote that I saw on the blog bitsotruth..."The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything". I AGREE!!! So, today I'm on a quest to make the best of everything....with my trusty knight in shining armor by my side...Hubby is home! LOL
    He's making me a powerful happiness-inducer called....BREAKFAST right now! ^_^ And in the meantime, I thought I'd show you some things from Etsy that make me happy too! {You can click on any of the items to go to the item or the shop where they're from.}

        Considering that I'm a hummingbird watching fool these days....and they are more and more coming up to the window to watch me!...anything with the hint of a bird on it catches my attention immediately! ^_^ This particular eco-friendly zip pouch is already sold, but there's many more in the shop. Just click on it!
    And is there any surprise as to why I like this 'Flower' cushion?! :-)

     Or this crochet flower necklace! :-)

        And if you have jewelry...any kind of jewelry...you have to have somewhere to put it, right?! And being as I collect jewelry boxes, this one really made my 'clicker finger' twitch!! LOL

       I love the little butterflies on the side!
     And I've told you all about my love of pocketbooks...Look at this natural cotton knitted bag!!...with flowers!!...I'm SMILING!!!

      And this large handbag, with stripes and spots all over it.....Hmmm....reminds me of a certain black and white shawl! :-) {It's finished by the way. I'll show you soon...maybe tomorrow.}

        I don't know why this photograph of the setting sun over a farm caught my eye...but it did! And it made me very happy. :-) Maybe it was remembering a much slower time in my life, or maybe it was the beautiful sky!....Yeah, that's probably it, because we've got more rain...and more rain here in Massachusetts today!

       Why this Glitter Beret makes me happy is obvious! :-)

      And the same goes for these turquoise blue tumblers!

        And, last but not least, some music equipment!! :-)

     Isn't that a beautiful Mandolin?!!.....Reminded me of a song! :-)



Have a good day everybody!! Happy Friday! :-)

Feeling Better

There's no card for "Feeling Better"!
But I think that there should be,
when my friends have sent good wishes;
and been loving up on me.

When they've sent good food to eat,
flowers, cards, emails, and calls.
When they've made it bearable
watching T.V. and 4 walls.

I'd like a card to send them back,
with a smiley face there too,
saying: "Feeling so much better;
and it's all because of you!"
