Super Sunny Christmas

Christmas is upon us now - it's summertime
I don't have to wear a jacket in my 409
Oh, bikini-clad angels
Wear mistletoe as halos

It's gonna be a Super Sunny Christmas, I know

It's been a long cold winter
I was naughty on ice
But now the sun is out
I think I wanna be nice, oh!
Got the Zeros on my stereo
I'm so glad there ain't no snow

It's gonna be a Super Sunny Christmas, I know

Peace on Earth will shine
Loving another is on my mind
The day the planets are all in line - oh

Christmas is upon us now - it's summertime
I don't have to wear a jacket in my 409
Oh, bikini-clad angels
Wear mistletoe as halos

It's gonna be a super...
It's gonna be a mover...
It's gonna be a Super Sunny Christmas, I know
I know
I know
I know...

Have a Merry Christmas (Happy New Year)

Blue Christmas

So, I changed my blog. Blue for the holidays! Why not?

Before I forget to mention, my brother ran in a 10K over the weekend. It's probably his speediest since he entered the 50's decade three years ago. He was pretty happy about it with his 7:30 minute mile. I can only dream about going that fast. Here's his results:

Tell Me Something I Don't Know

I got this one (and the last one) from Smartypantz:

Your Observation Skills Get An A-

Hardly anything gets by you... You have a great memory and eagle eyes

How Observant Are You?

Honestly, I guessed on about three of the questions, like the phone letters, the venetian blinds, and the ceiling fan. Those things no longer have an industry standard. The venetian blinds I've used in the past had the strings on one side for both functions OR no strings, but a stick or remote control. My last ceiling fan turned both directions with a remote control. As for phones, they come with a full key board, such as a Blackberry. Perhaps the quiz should be named "If you're over 30, do you remember how observant you were?" Ha.

Words

I find this quiz rather funny because I'm constantly finding errors in my own writing.

You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct. It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors. If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human. And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

The Mob Rules

This post is just because art IS in the eye of the beholder. I'm sure you know there's an actual cover art Grammy Award. I wonder if any of these album covers were award winning? No? How about for the worst?





I'm also thinking that Liberace's stylist need to share some fashion tips with Country Church. I don't know which is scarier, Black Sabbath or the Frivolous Five?

Hit Or Miss

Due to server issues, I'm having one heck of a time posting anything. I can't upload pictures and getting onto any site (not just Blogger) is hit or miss. I can't even get into Photobucket, and when I do it's SLOW.

A short while back, Dori asked me how I was doing with my recovery process. I'm doing OK, with occasional aches in the hip/thigh, but it's not too bad. I'm still walking with a slight limp, which becomes more apparent when I'm tired. I was supposed to have PT today but I had to reschedule because no one was available to watch the kid. I'm still not running yet, and I believe my physician was correct in saying I'd be running around Fall, sometimes. I'm mentally ready to amp things up, but physically I still can't push too hard, and I get frustrated. I feel mushy.

One Day In My Life

Rain!

I know that parts of the country are drenched right now, but we've had little to no rain for months. I can't remember the last time we had a good rain. Maybe January? I can't be sure. While I took care of some errands this morning it rained big fat drops, and I actually turned on my windshield wipers. We're justthisclose to mandatory water conservation here, and those big fat drops were a welcomed sight. The little shower didn't last long enough. I hope we get more precipitation out of the now grey and ominous looking sky.

Other stuff...

Commercials. I'm gonna vent a little. I am glad that the horse racing season at Del Mar is for a relatively short time. Their commercial drives me nuts. More specifically, it's the song that accompanies the commercial that drives me nuts. It's in a faux simile style of Christina Aguilera about 5 or 6 years ago with all the jazzy ad-lib vocal runs. Maybe 5 years ago the commercial would have been more appropriate, but now it just gets on my nerves. I have to hit the mute button on our TV controller each time that particular commercial airs. For me, it's like nails on a chalk board. Next, is that they're taking songs I like and putting them on commercials. Sometimes that's OK, like the song Paradise by Ana Laan which is used in a Dove deodorant commercial, but when they chop the song to fit the commercial, then it ruins the song. I'm did like the song The Story by Brandi Carlile, but they're using that song in a car commercial, and they chopped the heck out of it. *sigh* I'm not liking that.

I haven't said hot yet. HOT!

Honestly, I'll be glad when Blog365 is over. I've missed a handful of days but I've stuck by daily posting. Once the year is up, that's it. No more daily posting. By the way, I won't be adhering to daily posting while on vacation. I might do a couple of posts, but it's vacation!!!

Nothin' Better To Do

I know I've posted this picture before, but I've got nothing else to end July with, and I still have plenty of oranges on the tree in my backyard. It's a reminder to pick more oranges and make juice, or something.

I've really been stretching for food topics over the past few days. It has been a long week, my mind is fried, and my computer has some sort of virus that is preventing me from really searching the net for food information. Here's a photo of a dessert we had on the cruise back in December. I honestly can't remember if I ate any of it, but the cruise was a lot of fun. :)

Who's That Girl?

This photo of Madonna was posted on the internet last week, and the article with the photo went on about her "guns" (arms) as she and her assistant were walking home from the gym. I was more surprised to see the comments than the picture of Madonna. Most comments were shocked about her muscles, and that she looked too muscular or manly. Very few supported her fitness. I wonder how fit the people are who made the comments that she looked too muscular/manly? My guess is that they're probably not very fit. Madonna will be 50 this year. I'm impressed. Is 50 the new 30?
