Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Carlos Santana! The legendary guitar player was born 64 years ago today. Let's celebrate à la Woodstock and spend the day rocking out and making love! ;)

Instant Smile | Holiday Edition

So, its Monday, December 13 and I am finally getting in the Christmas spirit.
I blame work and being sick and well, just life in general, for me being all grinchy up to well, about 3 hours or so ago.
Its ridiculous I know.

Some weeks ago I came across this site, Rdio.com, that lets you create a collection of music, playlists, etc. that you can sync to your phone or listen to on the web. Its quite rad, really. Anyway, I came across the Charlie Brown Christmas EXTENDED album and added it to my collection, but never really played it. Today I was searching to play something to get me going, but nothing seemed to fit my mood, then this.
I can't explain what big of a smile the first notes of this album gave me. Everything just came flooding into my head–––memories of family, gifts, people I miss, ideas for presents, ideas in general, random thoughts––it was quite unbelievable. You might think I'm ridiculous but I feel pretty damn warm and fuzzy inside and that, well, that makes me smile so much. Given the days I've been having recently, I am really cherishing these moments.

So, here I am, alone in my office. Multitasking like a mad woman, listening to A Charlie Brown Christmas with a big ole' smile on my face. Like a freakin' kid.
Its nice. :)

So I share some of my warmth with you. Take a moment to listen, even if its as background music, I guarantee some holiday cheer in your day, an instant smile.

Much love to you my kiddies!

Happy Friday!

Do the Happy Friday dance! ;)
Have a great one peeps!

Musical Piggies

Ceramic piggies with built in circular speakers in their bellies? Seriously, it just doesn't get any cuter than this.
Available in 3 different colors and finishes, these adorable piggies have an audio jack where the tail would have been to connect your iPod or mp3 player of choice.
I would love to have one piggy for each room. The kitchen, the bathroom, my desk, next to my books, aaaah! The possibilities are endless!

Instant Smile

This song always does that to me. Does that happen to you guys? Any song that puts an instant smile on your face?
Anyway, Hacienda is coming to my favorite dive bar this Thursday, hopefully I'll get to see them.

It's Real Love ♥

All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you ...

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love ...

Fact: I hope to be this in love one day and maybe even one day make this my wedding song. Maybe. If I get lucky, right?
I get chills and the urge to cry my little eyes out every time I hear this song, never fails.
Can you imagine how Yoko Ono feels every time she hears this song? If someone wrote me a song like this it would always be playing in my car, my home, my head and my heart. ♥

Welcome Back, Kings of Leon

Radioactive | Kings of Leon

Reminiscent of old school albums like Because of the Times and my personal favorite, Aha Shake Heartbreak, this new song is pretty rad. Can't wait for their new album to drop!

I Guess, What I'm Trying To Say Is ...
