I've caught the fever!

Holla Holla

Oh brother!! I know I know I've been in a blogging coma for a bit. But it's because well remember my last post? Well the wind died down and the sun came out!! So in honor of today being the longest day...and the start of summer I thought I'd post!

I thought I'd share this lil gem with you. As you well know I love Ellen and she introduced me to this video. Oh it made me laugh. And than it made me think of some of my recent adventures.

I went to the Summer Jam a few weeks ago with Rachel. It had been rainy but we were hopeful it would hold off until the end of the evening. (the concert was outdoors) Well no such luck...I'm not sure if the universe was on our side that night or not but I think it's for the best that we didn't stick it out even though it was a down pour. We had some good laughs because we realized we were a little old to be in attendance. Between the girls that were dancing in the rain in nothing but a string bikini {when she just shouldn't have} to the ankle monitors and the cloud of smoke resonating over our heads it's for the best that we bailed early. The smell of weed was getting to be a lil much...

I need summer!

I just keep telling myself that if summer happens than life will get better. Because I'm a firm believer that sun and pool time just makes things a-ok. But until than I'll just fill you in on what I've been up to. Recently in pt Nicko has me working on flexibility and strengthening; especially in my core. Because well it's not strong because let's face it bed rest will do that to you. So here I have some pretty solid ankles but weak legs and core to go along with it. Doesn't really compliment the new ankles, right? Anyways yoga has been the main choice of torture. I usually will do it outside with the shiny sun and some nice 80's music to make it enjoyable-however it has been so windy that I just about up and blew away the other day. I think mother nature has Colorado confused with Kansas. Man I can't wait until this weather is calm and warm and I can just enjoy the sun poolside. Summer needs to happen - and SOON!

Mix Tape

I LOVE music! Not in the whole 'music snob' sorta way - I don't need to know who the artist is or if it was a huge hit. All it takes is hearing it just once and knowing that it is good music. I'm not picky or selective but I know what will make me feel better and what will not. I give everything a chance and I usually don't hate on it. Friends are like that in my life as well. I know what my fave all time hits are, the one hit wonders or flops, the classics, the oldies but goodies. You see music is so much more than just music. It's a good analogy! So go enjoy this mashup or better yet this one!! Music makes me happy!  Love to you all on the Friday!!

some music for Good Friday

'Run'

my downfall

I have had no appetite at all since a week prior to surgery...I just don't do enough to actually work up one. But wow I wanted to eat today and instead I opted for hot cocoa...umm it's a weakness, I knew I shouldn't have. However I am now sick-lesson learned. I'm a weakling, wanna know why? I only worked my way through 1/3 of the mug :( oh brother. What's a girl to do?? Not the slightest but for now what do you think of this song! I'm still undecided, so far I like the beat and duh He's put out loads of good music since my grade school days. Nuggets play tonight and Melo is coming back - we'll see...they sure like to tease me.  

The real stuff

I so badly want to just be able to shut my eyes and fall into a peaceful slumber...in my dreams! With the drugs I'm on {oh bless those drugs} it either knocks me to the ground and I'm down for the count or I miss that one moment and I am up far too long into the night. I find that those nights are when I play sudoku. It is something that passes the time and I feel like it keeps my brain functioning so I don't just lose it all while on bedrest. I keep some melodic instrumental music jammin in the background and there we have it-a night in the bed of Stephanie Mae. Love it! Would you?? Hmmph I gathered as much...I am going to set a goal of reading through the end of The Lovely Bones than onto a new one. I also met a boy, a new one that is. Possiblities seem endless but I'm just banking on him not bailing on me this week. Ha ha anyways now that I feel as though I shared a lil more than I normally do I say blaim it on the mama. She simply sugested I write more 'real' or what have you. No pressure right? But there we have it-the mama obviously nudged in the right spot at the right moment because it worked.

Happy Thursday!!

Come together

So often I forget that we all have our own rocks to hurdle in this life...and as of late that has been the case for many. But I know that there is a greater plan in all of this and that this is but a moment. My friend Laura has asked my help in promoting her mothers cd that has just been released to benefit a good family friend of theirs. If you'd like to know more go to this link. Listen to the wonderful music and let's come together in remembering that we can't do this alone. Let us help one another and love one another as we continue on our journey through life. Love you all!

What are your favorite things?

I love the FALL...but that's old news. But I love, love, love this song. And the cover is amazing! Enjoy...

Not better but still good

I used to watch SNL all the time when I was in high school and college. After a few years of not having done so I picked it back up this summer while at the gym late Saturday nights. Although not what it used to be and not better than past it still has its moments. Like the Obama segments ha they actually are pretty clever. And they've had some funny guest hosts over the past months. It holds it own still. Duh otherwise it wouldn't be on still.

This last weeks episode featured Gilly-I love these bits...they never get old.

Anyways Regina Spektor performed her new song Eet. I love her so much and so here's hoping you do too! I'm off to eat some turkey dinner in celebration of Canadian Thanksgiving!

Absolute JOY

Ha ha my joy-GLEE! I watch each episode not just once but more than enough to be borderline obsessive. But I can't get enough of the drama and the music and the dancing! I love it. Here is a lil sampling of some tunage! love ya guys!

Anyone for a tribute?

So ever think about what we used to do with our time?

My parents recently moved into a new house. In a joint effort to help them weed out 'unwanted' things while trying to get settled {aka the kids stuff} we've come across boxes filled with items from our childhood. Recently I've been delving into the world of The Babysitters Club books. I have the time and it is secretly kind of fun...takes me back to the 90's.

So in a tribute to the 90's here's a video I found. Hope you smile...

a song is all

So I really like this song...the group...the sound...all of it. I like it. What do you think? Thanks to my classy friend who introduced it to me.

Cut A Rug

So Contagious

Ever heard of Acceptance? They are based out of Seattle. I happened upon them recently and they are growing on me day by day. Their lyrics call to me. I love them! One song in particular is So Contagious. It is kind of fitting at the moment of things that are taking place in my life. So if I intrigued you perhaps check 'em out. I feel like my life has at times been a lil crazy to say the least and that things are spiraling out of control. Funny thing is I always have control over my sight and how I view things. SO I guess I just lost focus for a time. I found this picture a while back I loved the way it made me feel. How does it make you feel?
It brings me to the next thing I want to share...I made a trip to the Denver Art Museum!! Something I've been wanting to do since moving here and it's never happened. They extended an exhibit I really wanted to see so I made the trip! Best decision ever peeps! I love art and I love the feelings that it can evoke and the emotions that come through. Don't you?
