Big Sigh

After a week of enjoying beautiful sunshine and warm weather it is raining. Add to the rain a very high chance of snow storms. I am so depressed that I can't even work up the strength to rant and rave.  So instead I am listening to what Willow calls cerebral music and working up a great case of the blues.

It is all very awesome.

Want to join in on the fun?  Shoot me a comment of your favorite, "I'm to sad to deal with life song."  I will try to track the video down.  By the end of the day we will have the ultimate today could have been better song list.

Fun right! Okay, whatever it gets me through the day so come on join in.

Here is my first choice and the song playing on my computer right now.


Joshua Radin, "The Fear You Won't Fall" if you are a Grey's Anatomy fan you may recognize it.



Oh and if you have a song that makes the blues run away. Makes you jump up and boogey hey throw it in maybe it will chase the snow away.

Songs are being posted below this post.

My fav happy song is Don't Worry Be Happy. I love this song. I have it on my ipod and I could listen to it over and over.

If you want to dance... well, then you need some EMF - Unbelievable!

If you want to chuckle in slight horror that someone would string together words that obviously don't belong together (yep, that sentence is miserable), then you need Love Me Dead. I can't remember who sings it... but it isn't the nicest of songs. However, when a song begins with "Love me cancerously," you know it is a classic.

I know that you are missing the sun and warmth that you enjoyed while here. Guess what, we are missing it too. Today we are overcast, coolish, and expecting a dust storm. See, you don't miss choking on the air, do you?

Okay. Don't make fun, and I don't think there is a video. But the song that I absolutely love, love, love is called "Whatever Happens I Love You" by Morrissey.

It's not a happy song, but it gets my mind off of whatever I am sad about and gets it on, well, ummm, something else. :)

Oh, if you really just want to wallow is despair, then you need some "Everybody Hurts." Isn't that REM? Maybe it was Depeshe Mode.... all I know is that about 4 measures into the song and I am nearly suicidal. Uff... painful little ditty.

If you need another song to chuckle, then I highly recommend "Girl with the Wandering Eye" by the Rugburns. The Rugburns are not for the faint of heart... if you are not careful, they can be exceptionally profain. However the lyric, "I made love to the girl with the wandering eye -- I think my baby's got a wandering eye -- hope my baby's gonna stay for a while." is funny on so many levels.

PS -- Russ would say you really shouldn't listen to my recommedations. HE finds the Rugburns too profain, and he has the biggest potty mouth I know.

PPS -- I am not the biggest Jewel fan, but the lead singer of the Rugburns wrote Jewel's break-out hit (I think the title was 'You Were Meant For Me'). Well... I think they co-wrote it. He sold her the rights to the song for a little, and she made MILLIONS with it. Not a bad deal for her at all.

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...

Ask "the SwimMom" Holiday Edition

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...

Come and Gone

Christmas has come and gone the final hours of 2010 has began. I'm sure that I have a 2010 reflection post in me somewhere. But! Our 2010 is ending with family, friends and the baptism of my baby. It is so hard to type that sentence even harder to believe that we are baptizing our last little one. So the end of this year is going to come and go without a reflection post. I have chili to cook and family to visit and.... I did want to share with you a quick look at our Christmas We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. At 80 years old she keeps the party rocking and we enjoy the time we get to visit with everyone. (A quick picture before we left. I try to get this picture every year on Christmas Eve.) Melting snowman was our little Christmas Eve joke since all of our Christmas snow had melted. (The stockings after Santa's Visit) This year we enjoyed a brown Christmas. The snowflakes all disappeared and the hopes of a White Christmas were in vain. ...
