California Girls

So, as mentioned last week, I’m going to start randomly posting stuff just to keep everyone on their toes and to add a bit of excitement to our lives.  I now declare that Thursday shall be Music Day on my blog.  Hmmm, that’s kinda boring, it needs a more clever name.  How about Thursday Tunes?  Yea…that’ll work.

So, for this first Thursday Tunes, I have a very fun music video to share with you from Miss Katy Perry.  If you’re a long time reader of our blog, you know that Jerm and I like Katy Perry.  She’s cute, she’s funny and all of her songs seem to get stuck in my head for weeks on end.  Her most recent song is a hit and I love the video for it.  I reminds me of Candy Land, which was one of my favorite board games as a kid!  The gummy bears and her “Dots” dress are my favorite.  Plus, hey, I was born in California…so that means I’m kinda a California girl, right? :)

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Happy December everyone! I intended to post this blog yesterday, but there just weren't enough hours in the day. I'm so stoked (yes, I really said stoked) for Christmas! It's my favorite holiday and there are so many fun things to look forward to, such as: Christmas parties, Christmas cookies, Christmas caroling, Christmas trees, Christmas lights, Santa Claus, giving presents, receiving presents, family, friends, candy canes, awesome Christmas movies (Christmas Vacation and The Muppet Christmas Carol, come to mind), Christmas break (yay for working at a University and getting two weeks off!!), and of course, Christmas music (I LOVE Christmas music and could listen to it all year long)! To quote Andy Williams, "It's the most wonderful time of the year. With the kids jingle belling, And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer!" It's the most wonderful time of the year!" :)

In the spirit of Christmas, you'll notice that I have festively changed our blog background, I have added a "Christmas Countdown" to the side bar and to this post, a playlist with some of the best Christmas songs ever! I heart Christmas music and could listen to it all year. In fact, I'm listening to it right now! My most favorite Christmas song is "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," by Brenda Lee. What's yours?? And what are you plans for the holidays? Anything exciting?

Enjoy December! And remember, "It's the hap-happiest season of all. With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings When friends come to call...It's the hap- happiest season of all!"
