When it comes to, “killing two birds w/one stone” you can count it on my participation. That was a very lame use of that phrase, but I think in can work. Sorry Mz. Linda, I tried 😉 …
Back to SoCS…Had a great Saturday, Mani/Pedi and a 9 hour house wake-up. How do you erase your stream of consciousness??? I did though. Husband is still working on Mr. Paul Newman and it’s looking good. I’ll feature maybe on Monday’s Masterpiece. I guess I could sneak a peak at his progress on the painting…This picture was streaming through my consciousness 😉 …
Had leftover Spaghetti & Meatloaf again. It is very delicious to use leftover meatloaf in your new spaghetti sauce. Very tasty and I made some Gooey Sugar Cookie Bar for dessert. House is cleaned and life is just moving along, no complaints from this lady.
I’m just glad I got this up for today…See y’all tomorrow for Song Lyric Sunday. Hope everything is good in your corner of the world. It’s movie night at # thename and if you know what that is then good for you <3 . Blessings Blogger’sfor a quiet Saturday evening…
Happy Sunday blogger’s. Weekend’s come and go pretty fast around here. The prompt for today’s music is Metal Music !!!! Yeah. I have a friend in that music. Actually he is our son’s friend and we made some really fun memories with him and the fam…I became a rockin metal momma that summer and it was nothing like I thought.
A bit of a back story of meeting the lead singer of, “Lamb of God” Mr. DRandallBlythe. Our son’s living out in Virginia (Dancing Professionally) became friend’s with Mr. DRandall Blythe. They collaborated with his music and my son’s choreography on theBallet. They were both featured in Rolling Stones Magazine.
When we met, it was when he went out on his book tour, “Dark Days”
I’ve decided not play any of his music, it’s just that my mom who is 91 years old likes to read my blog and I think that is something that is not in her wheelhouse 😉 …I’m sure he’d understand, he was an absolute diamond, a real keeper … Love you Mr.DRandallBlythe <3 Momma Frain <3 …I just had to give him a shout out for the Metal Community.

I’m thinking of using Guns n Roses, “Paradise City for my first choice and I’m going give AC/DC an honorable mention 😉 …

Lyrics
Take me down tothe paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Take me home (oh, won’t you please take me home) Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Take me home (oh, won’t you please take me home)
Just a urchin livin’ under the street I’m a hard case that’s tough to beat I’myour charity case so buy me something to eat I’ll pay you at another time Take it to the end of the line
Rags to riches or so they say Ya gotta keep pushin’ for the fortune and fame You know it’s all a gamble when it’s just a game Ya treat it like a capital crime Everybody’s doin’ the time
Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won’t you please take me home Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Take me home
Strapped in the chair of the city’s gas chamber Why I’m here I can’t quite remember The surgeon general says it’s hazardous to breathe I’d have another cigarette but I can’t see Tell me who you’re gonna believe
Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Take me home, yeah yeah Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won’t you please take me home, yeah yeah
So far away So far away So far away So far away
Captain America’s been torn apart Now he’s a court jester with a broken heart He said “turn me around and take me back to the start” I must be losing my mind “are you blind?” I’ve seen it all a million times
Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Take me home, yeah yeah Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won’t you please take me home Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Take me home, yeah yeah Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won’t you please take me home
I wanna go, I wanna go Oh, won’t you please take me home I wanna see how good it can be Oh, won’t you please take me home Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Take me home Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won’t you please take me home Take me down, lead me ’round Oh, won’t you please take me home
I wanna see, what a woman can be I want to take you home Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won’t you please take me home I wanna go, I wanna know Oh, won’t you please take me home, yeah baby
I want to give a special mention out to AC/DC. They make me want to dance and sing and my youngest likes them and so do I 😉 Enjoy my Metal Play list 😉 …
I’m going to just get something up b/c I’ve been away for a bit…You know, time just goes by so fast. Can’t believe it’s almost that time of year.
The family Northwestern vs. Wisconsin
Tickets to the game !!!! Birthday present from the kid’s for grandpapa. Thank you so much. It was a perfect day. The game wouldn’t of been complete w/o breakfast at Walker Bros.
A couple of our girl’s <3…Breakfast at Walker Bros./Evanston, IL
Jumping on my blog this Sunday…I am in the process of getting back here and making changes to give my blog a fresh look for Spring. Hopefully my IT guy won’t be 😉 Out of the Office toooo long. Set up a quick brunch this morning. It was wonderful…
Fill in: ‘If I were really completely honest, I would say that …’ This is a question for ‘radical honesty’. What are the things you wouldn’t normally say? Things you would otherwise actually hide? What’s on your mind? What would you really like to be able to say? ********************************************
I guess I normally don’t speak about my conservative morals & values b/c they aren’t likely to align with today. I don’t really hide them, it’s better just to keep your cards close to the vest. The people that really are important in my life know what they are and that is all that matters. Actually all that truly matters is me, but whatever. I write in my Common Place book quite often and one of the entries way back on February 16, 2013 was
Have you ever broken anything? What about rules? *******************************************
I suppose that’s all I ever do is break the rules. The question I have to ask myself is who makes the rules?? Isn’t that why rules are made to be broken ?? I don’t care about these wordpress settingsthat keep changing and altering mid post, whatever…ugghhhhhhh
Are you also afraid of spiders? What is your biggest fear, other than spiders? (if you’re not afraid of spiders, use your biggest phobia instead). ***********************************************
Spiders just creep me out. I mean how can you be afraid of something so small…Just smash it with a shoe or your foot. But whatever you do, don’t have your husband kill it b/c he hates them worse than you do and 9 x’s out of 10 he misses and it disappears under the bed!!! :0 Ahhhh OMGGGGGG
Do you think time goes faster as you get older? ***************************************************
I’m certain it does. Think of your life’s timeline as a roll of toilet paper…At the start it is big and bulky and takes some coaching to come down. When it gets to the end of the roll, well it just spins out of control right til it’s empty 😉 Am I right ??? You know I am 😉
How do you like me now…As the years go by <3
GRATITUDE SECTION (as always, optional)
Please share something that really inspired you from this last week or month.
Happy Monday and prayer’s and blessings to all impacted by the weather this past Friday. So sad to see all of the destruction and loss of life. It really does put much into perspective, especially at this time of year.
On the lighter side of today, we should all just count our blessings and be grateful for all that we have. On Father’s Day of this year our neighborhood was too hit by a tornado so it reminded me of how fragile life is…
I was just looking onAmazonto get some ideas for myChristmas list. I have to admit, I’m more of a Happy New Year person. I really don’t know why, but I do love the new year. Probably b/c I’m a planner girl and I don’t really get a plan until like now which is a little late. It’s still a great time of year though.
I came across one of the husband’s painting’s that I absolutely love, love, love <3 , so I thought I would post it for Monday’s Masterpiece…It’s Santa and his Christmas Mouse, Winston..
You can click on the link above and see more of the Artist amazing artwork…Still able to get the prints out before Christmas but do it soon. They make a great gift. Blessings Blogger Family wishing you all the best this Holiday Season, Happy Christmas and Merry Everything <3 …
I really don’t even have to say anything about this painting except it is one of my fav’s !!! The Artist painted it for me ( 😉 i.e. the husband ) It’s a cloudy, cold and rainy Monday but I have this beautiful painting to look at…I hope all of you had a great weekend and blessings on your week <3.
