Black Friday

I never consider it. I don’t really like to shop in the first place. I hate crowds. I really hate standing in line. I didn’t bother looking at the sale flyers. I assumed that, just as in years past, I would sleep in, have a lazy morning followed by some leftovers for lunch, followed by a lazy afternoon.

Starr had other plans.

I told her that if it was important to her and if she woke herself up, to come wake me up and I would go with her. 3:30 in the morning she knocked on my door ready to get going. Damn. She had a small specific list for Kohl’s and for Target. We did NOT stand in line outside the stores, but arrived just in time to follow the last of the lines in the door. We did our business and were done before 6 am.

Back in bed by 6:30 where the rest of my day could proceed as originally planned!!

Whew!

Here is one of my favorite holiday songs from last year, I hope to find a few more this year:

mp3: “Gift Basket” – Ethan Lipton
Ethan Lipton-MySpace

A Tuesday Mix

mp3: “Everywhere I Go” – Lissie
“Tell me how’s the way to go, tell me all that I should know”
Um, yeah. I need some answers and direction too…thank you!
Buy: Why You Runnin’

mp3: “Forgive Me” – Le Loup
Okay, this song doesn’t feel so personal, but I like it anyway. : )
Buy: Family

I was watching Castle last night while playing with the kitten and I heard not one, but two songs that I’ve posted here in the past. It’s always fun to say, “yeah! I know that one!” (..and even better:  “I’ve posted that on my blog”….I am so hip! *snort* …Or not…)

The opening song:

mp3: “Now We Can See” – The Thermals
Buy: Now We Can See
The Thermals | Facebook

and sweetly, the closing song:

Ugh, I thought that I was so sure, I wrote down “everyday” but I didn’t save the recording to verify. I am (embarrassingly) 88% sure that this was the song*. I hate my brain some days!:

mp3: “Everyday” – Vetiver
Buy: Tight Knit
Vetiver-MySpace

*Edited to say that I checked the show on Hulu just now and I was right. I need to trust myself more!!

Another Skill I Don’t Have

Impressive! But a warning that the song that accompanies the video has language and lyrics that are not safe for work or home. Personally, I don’t hate it, but I won’t be adding it to my playlist any time soon. I have included a substitute below. Turn off the volume on the video and play the White Rabbits instead.
