Tuesday Tunes 29 & Emma's Birthday!

Here are some pictures from the lovely party on Sunday afternoon.

I am sorry I haven't blogged before this, but I have been reading the "Twilight" series. It is very addicting. It is good. You should read it if you haven't yet. I am currently on the 2nd book.

It has been cold here and nothing Spring-like at all. It is finally starting to warm up today. Thank goodness.

Aidan and Emma have really started to play together lately. They were playing in Aidan's room for almost 2 hours yesterday afternoon. It was a nice break for me. I guess they are growing up.

I hope that you are all having a good day. Here are those pictures and below I will post a Tuesday Tune!!

Emma with her haul of presents!!

Birthday girl!!

Presenting Princess Emma!!

Presenting Princess Aidan????

Since the "Twilight" series talks a lot about literature and (in particular) "Romeo and Juliet", I thought this fit. Enjoy!!

Happy Birthday, Emma!!

It is Emma's 2nd Birthday tomorrow, but we are having the party today! I can't believe it has been that long....Time flies, I suppose!!

Here's a blog thingy for today. It is horrible outside today!!

You Are Brave and Cheeky

When You Are Comfortable: You are a strong person. You're driven and assertive. Success is yours, as much as you want it. People find you to be clever and spirited. You're a bit saucy too... delightfully so! When You Are At Your Best: You are ambitious, and hard-working. Adversity allows you to shine. You resourceful and able to make due. People see you as honest to the point of bluntness. But they always know that you'll be fair. You have the good intentions. When You Are in a Social Setting: You are very perceptive. You can see things from all sides. You don't allow your life or mind to be cluttered. People see you as spiritual and charismatic. You have interesting and unexpected insights. You advice is highly valued.

What Do Your Initials Say About You?

Tuesday Tunes 28: Breathe U2 Style

It's U2 Day! Their new album is out...I haven't bought it yet. Either tomorrow or Friday.

Here's a taste from David Letterman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGurpsGKPCg

And here are the lyrics to the above song:

BREATHE by U2

16th of June, nine 0-five, door bell rings

Man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit longer

There’s a few things I need you to know.

Three coming from a long line of travelling sales people on my mother’s side

I wasn’t gonna buy just anyone’s cockatoo

So why would I invite a complete stranger into my home

Would you?

These days are better than that

These days are better than that

Every day I die again, and again I’m reborn

Every day I have to find the courage
To walk out into the street

With arms out

Got a love you can’t defeat

Neither down or out

There’s nothing you have that I need

I can breathe

Breathe now

16th of June, Chinese stocks are going up

And I’m coming down with some new Asian virus

Ju Ju man, Ju Ju man

Doc says you’re fine, or dying

Please

Nine 0-nine, St John Divine, on the line, my pulse is fine

But I’m running down the road like loose electricity

While the band in my head plays a striptease

The roar that lies on the other side of silence

The forest fire that is fear so deny it

Walk out into the street

Sing your heart out
The people we meet

Will not be drowned out

There’s nothing you have that I need

I can breatheBreathe now

Yeah, yeah

We are people borne of sound

The songs are in our eyes

Gonna wear them like a crown

Walk out, into the sunburst street

Sing your heart out, sing my heart out

I’ve found grace inside a soundI found grace, it’s all that I found

And I can breathe

Breathe now

A Saturday Blogthingy: Medieval Job and She's Okay

We have been having some internet issues the past few days. I totally forgot to do a Top Ten yesterday. Sorry, everyone!

We had a busy day yesterday. We went to a friend's house for lunch and a playdate. It was fun until Emma decided to fall down the stairs. Yes, the full set. I grabbed her about 3 stairs up from the hardwood floor. I held her for like 2 seconds and then she wanted down. There was no blood or broken limbs. (Luckily my friend's stairs are carpeted!) I will keep you posted on the bruises, which I am sure there will be. Emma seems fine. Mommy, on the other hand, is traumatized for life.

We are finally getting warmer temperatures. This is a nice break, since we have been in the deep freeze for the past week. Perhaps spring is on its way!

I went to a meeting on Wednesday night to save the women's creative writing newsletter. That's the one where my poem was published last spring. There were only 3 of us there. (A fourth one had a prior commitment, but is willing to do a job!) Please pray for me. I don't have time to be the Editor in Chief. I do want to be involved somehow. I just want to follow God's plan for this. Listen to His voice!

Anyway, I thought a light blogthingy would be in order! Have a wonderful day.

You Are a Playwright

You are a highly literate wordsmith. You love both reading and writing. You are also a natural storyteller. You can turn a mediocre anecdote into a riveting tale. You find people and all aspects of life fascinating. No topic is off limits for you. In modern times, you would make a good filmmaker or novelist.

What's Your Medieval Profession?
