Good start for a Wednesday

Picture 5

A friend just received a ukelele for Christmas and has been combing youtube for ukelele videos. He sent me this link. I promise it will put a smile on your face too. This girl reminds me of my sister….

it's that time again… time to de-christmas the house. It's always a little sad, but must get the tree to the recycling center on Saturday to turn it into mulch. Sunday is my birthday. 44. wow.

I keep meaning to take photos of the beautiful art I received for Christmas, so I will just link to the artists' websites for now.

If your life were a soundtrack…

what would the music be? I lifted this from Sarah

Here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every section, type the song that’s playing
5. Next section — press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool
