My Dad is Proud
Today is tax day. I just paid my first installment of the amount I owed. It is the first time that I have I ever owed the IRS money and for some reason I can’t stop singing this song and I think that my Dad is proud!
Developments
I watched The Adam Project with Sean and my Mom last month and have not gotten around to writing about it yet. But, like young Adam who runs into Ray when they are both suspended for fighting and he tells him, “I have A LOT Going on.”
That’s one of my favorite scenes and just like Adam, because of recent developments, I too have a lot going on! But my mom takes excellent care of me and I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow afternoon. Wow there, we can have my blood drawn for all the tests that my last doctor ordered.
I will know more about what is going on with me tomorrow but another development last night was that after three years of being Sean‘s fish, James Pond died! my Mom was kind of really sad about it!
BEST SLEEP EVERRRR!!!
My bed was delivered yesterday and I slept in it for the first time last night. It’s going to be tricky to get in and out but the sleep was superb! Best sleep everrrr!!!
I am a little bit overwhelmed and I will try to sort my feelings out but trust me that this song was playing in my head!
Notable Puzzlin’ Tune #2
They play this song when I saw them live probably 18 years ago? It was old when they played it and it was a throwback that he wondered who knew. I knew, Pat! Of course, I knew!!!
Who were those kids listening to them sing so long ago?! It’s me and my cousinT, Shannon!:
Notable Puzzlin’ Tune #1
So, my Mom will take a nap before I finally am ready to turn in for bed. I puzzle on my phone app and I have decided that there are some songs that I am hearing that I’ve never heard before and it’s just randomly generated from the song I begin puzzling to. I always start with Sara Bareilles, “She Used to be Mine” but now I’m hearing this song almost every day:
My FAVORITE Day of the Entire Year
Today is Holy Thursday. That is my favorite day of the year! Holy Thursday mass is what I love! I’ve gone since I was a child, not every year but most times. I love everything it stands for and the washing of the feet ceremony makes me cry.
I remember telling a friend/colleague after I saw her at my church that Holy Thursday is my favorite day of the year! Thursdays are my favorite day of the week which stems from second grade and art class but also my ‘Daddy Daughter’ dinner days with my Dad in high school.
I looked at a whole bunch of Holy Thursday Memes to put in my blog post today and I saw the first one and I really liked it but then I saw the second one and I am also going to put this on my post because I have a completed puzzle of the exact same painting! It’s on top of my refrigerator probably full of grease and dust because I have not gotten around to gluing it together yet.
But now, I am going to watch mass with The Virtual Front Pew Who is father Mike on YouTube and I’m pretty sure that I will cry as well.
Random Memory while Puzzlin’
My phone is about to die but I heard this song and was immediately transported back to driving my blue Chevy cavalier to my summer time job after high school at 7:11. It’s early in the morning and I am hung over from a graduation party last night! Time to make a coffee! And that’s why I don’t drink coffee! Disgusting!!! Never!!!
Emergency! Emergency!
OKay, Sean took my Mom to get her hair colored and I told them that I would like to buy Sabina’s for all of us. Sean witnessed my Chapstick ‘blotting’ and he commented on my, “Technique.”
I laughed and told him that I HAVE to finish my Chapstick! He told me that that’s a big deal because he doesn’t think that he has ever finished any Chapstick and it’s entirety.
He left and I continued to blot my lips but then it was finished. I couldn’t do it anymore! I heard the alarm both going off on the voice on the speaker saying, “Emergency! Emergency!”
Long story short, I had to switch to my pomegranate Chapstick tonight instead of tomorrow. It’s all about the simple pleasures!!!
Vanilla Bean’s Last Stand
Well, in this rain I am not feeling well at all! My Chapstick is on it’s last leg and I’m OK with that because it’s going to be time to change flavors very shortly. Here’s my Vanilla Bean’s last stand:
I am excited to change flavors because my house has just started to get warmer than the thermostat is set to. So now, it’s time for the spring flavors! I always transition from winter to spring with pomegranate which reminds me of Barwis… I am just pressing my lips onto the Chapstick because if I try to rub it on my lips, that hurts. With a few blots, I can have Chapstick on my lips. It’s so wonderful that I will get a new flavor for Holy Thursday!!!
