Splish and Splash (UBC #11)

So, it started raining earlier today, and for whatever reason, I was in a really really good mood.  So I decided to *giggle* go outside and put a letter in the mail.  And on the way back, I started singing, "Singing in the Rain."   It seemed like a really good song to sing while out in the rain, right? :)  And then I was chatting with my friend Jessica, and we came started coming up with different words to "Jingle Bells," and I just had to share them with y'all.  So may I present, "Splish, Splash," sung to the tune of  "Jingle Bells."

Dashing through the rain

In my rubber boots down Main.

I'm so glad it's May,

Splashing all the way!

Umbrellas all pop up,

Making spirits bright.

Oh, what fun it is to sing a splashing tonight!

Oh, Splish and Splash, Splish and Splash

Splashing all the way!

Oh what fun it is to splash

All the way through May!

Splish and Splash, Splish and Splash

Splashing all the way!

Oh what fun it is to splash

All the way through May! Hey!

Oh, and don't forget!

I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I do!  Don't stay too dry... And I do believe the sun is starting to come out.  Maybe I'll even see a rainbow!

Amazing? Yes! (UBC #10)

I was checking my facebook today, and came across this video that I just had to share with y'all!  I am a huge fan of Sound of Music, so this was really awesome to see!




And would you believe they only practiced twice??!??!?  I wish I had talent like that! :)  Have a great day!

Jostie Flick #2 (UBC #9)

Ever wake up with a to-do list that would rival Mt. Everest, but discover that there is no way that you can get it all done?  That happened to me today.  I woke up with a cold... I was hoping to finish working in the playroom today, but I think I'm going to have to take a rain check.  I was also hoping to put up a bunch of blog posts - try and catch up on the challenge, but my brain is telling me: huh?  I know there was more, but for the life of me I can't remember! :)  So, I thought I might as well put up SOMETHING today so I don't keep on falling behind.  Thank goodness for Jostie Flicks!  It was a tough decision.  I had it narrowed down to three, but then I found this one, and the other three flew right out the window!  May I present, "Soul Mates."




This was just what I needed today for a pick-me-up! The past seven days have been very tumultuous for me.  (More on that later... Some of it still is processing.)  But I hope this brings a smile to your face and joy to your day!

Crazy? Possibly.... (UBC #8)

I really have to quit getting ideas late at night....
  Lulu is doing a free publishing for a brief period of time.  The end of July, to be exact.  My dear friend Jessica was telling me all about it, and was encouraging me to go for it.  So, to add to my regular life, I'm going to try and finish a story in about two weeks.  I only have two weeks before I head off to camp for a week. (Which I am totally excited about, by the way.)

     So, as Shakespeare once said,

Do I write or don't I?

But, that would be insane, right?

So, I think I'm going to try

And I'll see you at the end!!!!

Music Mix-up Post 18 (UBC #7)

With Monday being the fourth of July, I thought I'd put the National Anthem as my music song for this week.... Couldn't find a music video I liked.  What kind of country have we become were I can find all sorts of music videos on all sorts of things, but the National Anthem?  Couldn't find a decent one.  Most were either instrumental, or sung bizarrely, or badly taped NFL videos.  And just when I was about to give up all hope of ever finding one that I actually liked, and wondering if I should just simply pick a different song, I found this music video.  I hadn't really liked most of the acapella versions that I'd found, but this one I actually liked.




I hope you all had a lovely 4th, and please remember all who have died for your freedom, and those who continue to serve and protect us.

Jostie Flick #1 (UBC #6)

I was looking around on youtube, trying to find the perfect video for this week's Music Mix-Up post, when my friend Jessica started talking about the Jostie Flicks.  I'd seen a few of them, but not really "followed" them.  But I came across some really funny ones, and since I'm trying to do the whole 31 blog posts in 31 days, I'd thought I'd add some Jostie Flicks posts. 




"Better Together" just cracks me up!! I've never seen it before, and I can't help but laugh!  The whole "Romeo" and "Juliette" and I'm expecting some band of soldiers to come running out from hiding... And no, it's Cheerios.  It's just so funny!!
   Anyway, enjoy your laugh for the day, and I'll have the Music Mix-Up post up soon.  Right after I quit watching Jostie Flicks and can find the perfect song. :)

Transformers 3 (UBC #5)

Okay, I'm just going to come out and admit it.... I'm a bit of a nerd/geek.  I am a huge fan of the Transformer movies (second one not so much but it was still cool) and so I just had to share this info with y'all.  My church had a float in the local parade for the 4th, and I signed up to walk in it.  Boy, was it fun! One of the really cool things was seeing this vehicle at the line-up for the float.

You can't really tell, but if you look at the door, you can see the Transformer symbol on it.  This fire truck was built locally and used in the film Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon.  And to think that I got to stand next to this truck!! :)  I wish I had a picture of that, but I didn't bring anything with me to walk in the parade - didn't want to worry about losing it or carrying it for the whole time. :(  But just to give y'all an idea about how big it was, I wasn't much taller than the tire!  If you want to read more about it, you can go to this page where there is an article and a news video interview.
