INSTANT HAPPINESS

When I am in need of Instant Happiness (these days it seems more often than not)
I watch this video of one of my fav songs - EVER.
To be truthful, in my minds eye, I am on the xylophone not stinky looking KT Tunstall.

IF I WERE 13 AGAIN

If I were 13 again, I'd love "One Direction".
I just know I'd be completely boy crazy over these guys.
Particularily boy crazy over the Mick Jagger wannabe - second last guy on the right of this photo:


but I am not 13 anymore - thankfully.

FIELD OF DREAMS AND OTHER SIGNS

I am trying to figure out the connection to Kevin Costner that Parker and I both share.
We loved Kevin Costner growing up.

Then we both broke up with him when he became a mid-life crisis ass.
Parker and I believed the break up was permanent...until...Kevin's Whitney Houston eulogy.
Now we are loving him again.
Ya, we are fickle that way.

There has been, what so far seems to be, an unexplainable pattern of Kevin Costner signs happening to us.
So I am putting this post out there - as an attempt to keep us focused.
I am commited to eyeing every corn field I drive past, in the hopes....
Build it and he will come.

note: I just remembered as I typed!!! Parker used to sell corn as a kid - OMG spooky!

JOHN HUGHES 2012

I watched "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" for the 4th time the other night.
It was on TV again.
This movie gets my vote as truly worthy of this blogs love.
Michael Cera is my boy.
I adore Michael Cera and my heart simply melts when I see him.
Not in a Cougar way, by any stretch of the word, but in a motherly way.
Michael Cera reminds me of my older son, when he was younger, in those fleeting moments when he was not being an ass.
How can the bloggers of Lies John Hughes Told Me not love this movie?
I was hooked the moment Nick O'Leary's (Michael Cera) cell phone rang with The Cure as his ringtone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICK

Today is Mick Jagger's 69th birthday.
The Ol' Devil's age is even dirty ;)
This year The Rolling Stones celebrate 50 years as Rockstars.
I love The Rolling Stones but I LOVE Mick Jagger.
I have LOVED Mick Jagger since I was 6 years old.
Not this Mick Jagger -

THIS Mick Jagger -

and yes, I am aware I have issues....and yes, I am aware that he is adrogenous....and yes, I am aware that he behaves badly....and yes, I am aware that he has a criminal record....and yes, I am aware that he is a woman/man -izer....and yes, I do not care.
I LOVE Mick Jagger.

JULY AND KATIE HOLMES

I am not a true fan of the month of July and I am not usually a fan of Katie Holmes.
But what do these two things have in common?
To me, July is a month of frantic behaviour.
People cram everything and anything, at lightning speed, in to the month of July.
Katie Holmes did the same with her divorce from Tom.

I am a big advocate for pulling the plug without drama.
I would'nt have thought she had it in her but Katie has done exactly that.
Hats off to her.
She came, she saw, she conquered...now... if only... she would go off in to the sunset.
Sadly, I think we will only see more of her now.
