things that made me smile today

Well Monday is done and dusted.  Let the week begin.   Before I head off to tidy up the destruction I have left in the kitchen this evening, I have a couple of things that made me smile today and thought them too good not to share.

Firstly some clever cups.  It would be fun to open your cupboard every morning and choose which one you wanted to drink your tea out of each morning.  Don't you agree?

The real meanings of a couple of words:-

A spelling lesson (love the grey melange):-

Then my new favourite song.  It makes me want to go on a long road trip and sing and stamp my feet and shout out the lyrics (forgetting that I am a 53 year old who should not be behaving like that anymore)

If you are like me and like to sing along (and stamp your feet) to the lyrics, here they are.  Off you go.....  It is very catchy (try it Mom):-

So this is what you meant when you said that you were spent?

And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit 

right to the top,

Don't hold back

Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check

I don't ever want to let you down

I don't ever want to leave this town

'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night...

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then, 

I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am?

So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell

the path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell, 

right to the top

Don't look back

Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check

I don't ever want to let you down

I don't ever want to leave this town

'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night...

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then, 

I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am?

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then, 

I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am?

This road never looked so lonely,

This house doesn't burn down slowly,

to ashes, to ashes...

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then, 

I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am?

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then, 

I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand

That I'm never changing who I am?

"I'm just the same as I was" (although I am 53).  I like it (a lot).
