Sleepy

I love my baby, sweet and fair. 

Got the sky in your eyes; the sun in your hair. 

I rock you to sleep 'most every night

And sing you this song while I hold you tight.

Sleep, my baby.

May angels keep you from harm.

And your Father above cradle you in his love,

Safe and warm.

Sleep, my baby,

Nestled in your mama's arms.

Sleep, my baby,

May angels keep you from harm.

My baby, you'll be sleeping soon

Kissed by the golden stars and moon.

I have just one wish for you,

May your every dream come true.

Appalachian Lullaby, by Tanya Goodman

Let it Go

THIS SONG.

 THIS MOVIE.

But really, THIS SONG. I have no words, except it is perfectly amazing and I have been listening to it on repeat.

A Simpler Life

A very lovely piece of nostalgia. :)

My Dear Friend Lisa. Frank, that is.

Today, at Walmart, (which, by the way, is a terrible start to a story), I grabbed a binder to hold all my random recipes. I grabbed this binder:

Or something like it anyway. Mine's pink. But it's sparkly, and that's really all that matters in this world. Except, I was very, very, disappointed. Want to know why?? Because they did not sell binders with things like this on them:

Oh, Lisa Frank! I miss  you! I had a LF Trapper Keeper, folders, pencils, erasers, stickers, a diary, and probably more. It was the one trend that my mom indulged me on. :) And I kind of wanted a Lisa Frank binder for my recipes! Even though I'm almost 23 and all grown up now. Supposedly. I still wanted Lisa Frank in my life. I mean, who couldn't use a bit of this colorful, animally goodness?

Looking Forward...

Because of the I-have-too-much-to-do-so-I'm-not-gonna-do-any-of-it syndrome that I have right now, and because I am a little lonely and bored tonight, here's a list of things I'm looking forward to:

• School's out in a week and a day!!

I get to see James in a week and a half!

Carl and Jen's wedding!!

• Moving to Texas

James' birthday! (I better get him a really good present!)

My birthday - James got me the best present ever - CARRIE UNDERWOOD TICKETS!!!!!! :)

First anniversary with the best husband ever!!

Well, I sure do have a lot of things to look forward to! This makes me feel better :)

Countdown

Let the countdown begin.

3 weeks, 5 days.

I can handle that. I think.

2012

I found this on Facebook a week or so back....and I LOVED it.

So much so I had to share it with you all. :)

I thought it was clever and hilarious!!

Nostalgia

Back When by Tim McGraw

We got too complicated.
It's all way overrated.
I like the old and out-dated
Way of life.

Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when.
I miss back when.


I was listening to this song today and got a little nostalgic for my childhood. :)

Makeover

I have been down with a bad cough all day, so I decided to give our blog a little makeover. And I think it looks soooo much better!!

And guess what?? Only 21 days until . . . .

 

CHRISTMAS!!!! 

My favorite. :)
