friday song of the day.

charlie mars is current spinning (well kind of) everywhere around here. i bought the c.d. yesterday and i have been listening to two tracks non-stop it seems. surely by monday i will have listened to the album in it’s entirety. until then here is the video of the single “darkside of the moon.”

enjoy & have a great weekend!

words.

here i share quote from dr. martin luther king jr.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hatred cannot drive out hatred. Only love can do that.”

how a man realized this back in the 60’s and we still in this present day where so many people struggle to understand something so simple can not.

spread love.

That is all.

offical set up for U2

The following if from The Houstonist on of my favorite online publications. Now I know that I am not the biggest U2 fan, I like them but honestly I anyone that knows me know that I am a bigger fan of The Edge then Bono. But I digress, but a band like U2 likes to pull out all the stops when it comes to touring and their stage set up.

Over the years and thanks to an old friend I have grown to appreciative all the time, effort and skill it takes to get it all set up so the fans have something to gawk at. And of course, U2 goes all out when it comes to putting on a show.

Here is the stats on the load in for the U2 stage rig, and also y0u can see photos from yesterday’s load in from Groovehouse’s flickr stream.

To all U2 fans out there, have a great time and enjoy the show!!

kids + me + obgyn office = oy.

In all of my infinite wisdom (as well as my obgyn office) I am going to take at 3:30 pm appointment today to have the wonderful b.c. put in.

Now I know that sounds a bit crazy, but I have been waiting on this for over TWO months now and it must be put in during a cycle, and the lovely person that said that they were going to contact me about it never did. So I called yesterday and got a little bit irritated and FINALLY got in for today….

Blah, Blah, Blah…

SO off I go to pick Riley up from school early, cause the office is in Katy and Riley’s school lets out at 3:15 AND the appointment is at 3:30.

(you see the issue here? ok.)

Let’s hope I get through taking BOTH of my sons with me to the obgyn without issue, tantrums or questions like “mommy why is your leg on that thing??”

Wish me luck.

baby william!!

The boys have a new baby cousin!

Lyall’s sister, Dottie had her baby today just a few hours ago in Dallas.

Here is a picture of the bundle of joy!

Congratulation’s to the happy family!

Yoga

I love it and it loves me back.

Namaste.

why you should NOT buy the cheap bucket.

I thought that I was being THRIFTY a few months back when I scored a mop bucket for less then $5.00 at the local Walmart by our house. But apparently my determination for finding a bargan back fired on me.

Just about 15 minutes ago I figured out why.

See photo below.

poor bucket, it had a good life.

Granted the floor is REALLY CLEAN now (and so is the floor underneath the refrigerator, dishwasher AND wine cooler) and I have nothing to complain about except that my pants and legs and feet now has that awesome Murphy’s Oil Soap smell.

From now on I am using that trusty 5 gallon paint bucket that they sell at The Home Depot. At least I know that I’d hurt myself carrying the darn thing before it breaks on me.

i mop the floors in my house & it rains.

This must be some “Native American Rain Dance” equivalent. So should I say “stay at home mom rain dance” of sorts.  It seems like every time I try to mop the WHOLE house at one time it starts pouring down rain.  I must sound crazy by saying that I mop my house in quadrants but I do. I mop the high traffic areas first, then the rest of the house. Not saying that my house is big by any means, it’s  just how I do things. It’s a lot easier when you have one less kid to police around the house when it’s wet. So when Riley plays at his friends house I mop.

That is all.
