Duh?!!!:

I can’t wait to see this:

This tune has been in my head for a while, and I think it’s going to stay:

I think it has officially transitioned to fall because today, it was the ‘return of the hat’ me inside! I actually bought two hats at the Labor Day sale so they were cheaper because I will just wear these hats in the house and no one will see me, but I will show you right now;

So, this song will ALWAYS a muse me for as long as I live! I had to hear it before I posted on my blog today:

This morning was the last leg of ‘Go time’ and I was exhausted! Beyond exhausted! I think this morning was the groaniest I have ever been!!! Yes, it completely startles me that the groaning is kind of becoming a norm for me each time I leave the house for an appointment.

This particular morning, during my first rosary, as I drink my nutrition shake and try to wake up, Leia did just that!!! So, here I am, groaning and drinking my shake and trying to wake up so she just stood next to me on my left for a really long time!

It took me a minute to notice, but when I did, I just rubbed my left fingers on her back because that’s all I can reach when I’m sitting in my power chair. I just looked at her and thanked her for her moral support!!!

I am sitting here trying to recover from this months ‘go time’ and I thought for a moment, I figured this song would be good here. #MyGirlL!!!:

I was thinking about Happiness for Beginners and I am so beyond exhausted right now and I’m only halfway through and I can’t believe I haven’t shared this song?! How obtuse can I be?! I really like this song, so I’ll put it in here:

Last night, my Mom showed me a picture that she saw earlier in the day:

That corner was my entire education from kindergarten to senior year!!! I sent that picture to my brothers today with the caption:

*GASP?!*
😱😱😱😱😱

(those five faces are us!)

My eyes kind of welled up with tears, as I was sending the picture to my brothers! You know what was playing in my head, right?!:

So, I told my Mom about what I said about Happiness for Beginners and compared it to that Capital Cities song. she looked at me and said, “Not that one; the bad one.”

When she told me that, I started to laugh because I knew what song she was talking about and I guess this song in this movie sounds similar. I will put all three songs in this post so you guys can hear the similarities for yourself:

Happiness for Beginners song:

The first song that I thought sounded like this song that I heard well I was in the middle of teaching:

But then my Mom told me that that wasn’t the song she was thinking of and this is this song, so I put it on here (the clean version) and I was still teaching one. The song came out as well:

When Happiness for Beginners started, my Mom asked me who sang the song that was playing when it began. That song sounded familiar, but I could not place it. I decided just to look at her and say, “I don’t know!”

I didn’t know this song but the song she was talking about was, “Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities. That song came out when I was in the middle of teaching middle school! My kids, loved that song! I think I even posted that song on my blog years ago. It came out as a single in 2011 and on the album I’m 2013.

I was teaching Reading then, so I had smaller class sizes and I paid more attention to pop culture back then. But now, I am homebound, so I don’t have any pop-culture references anymore. But, I just looked up what song was playing in the beginning of Happiness for Beginners:

And since I put that song in here, I’m going to put the Capital Cities song in as well so you can hear the similarity that me and my Mom heard! Great minds think alike!:

My Mom suggested this movie yesterday and we watched it and I thought it was hilarious!

Today, I had my solo encore presentation just to get whatever I missed yesterday and to continue to laugh at all of their banter! Hugh was my fave!!!

I think I may make it a triple play because I think there are things that I was still missing. I will watch it without my contacts on on my phone. Optic Neuritis is not like what’s going on with Jake but I think it’s a bit close. May be a little too close for comfort…

The progression of my Optic Neuritis, although it started when I was pregnant in my right eye and my left eye joined the optic neuritis party when Sean was maybe 10? He’s 21 now so it has progressed but I get the gist of everything I see so it’s okay I think…

Besides, I love this song!:

I was scrolling through my phone last night, and I saw a short of Mariah Carey singing “My All.” Of course I had to click on it, and then I stopped halfway through because it was a live video and it wasn’t that great of a performance so I decided to wait until I got into bed so I could give it justice as I listened!

I was a Sophomore in high school again, and I liked thinking about that! I still know all of the words, but I no longer can sing them. I’ll just put the video here:
