Don't Worry Baby, It's Friday.

Summer is my favorite time of year. I look forward to it mostly because things seem to slow down a bit. This weekend looks promising -  filled with surfing, lazy afternoons, cool breezes, and maybe even cupcake making. 

Punky has two new boards on loan for the summer that she is itching to try out so it looks like a majority of our weekend will be spent on the beach, no complaints coming from me. 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Singing La La La La La.

Hope you all had a wonderful week and have a relaxing fun filled weekend planned. We are heading to see Wicked with Punky tomorrow. I am super excited as I have heard great things about it and well it will allow me to check another item off my March list.

Today's music is from Rabbit! Their music is sugary sweet and the entire album makes me happy. Anytime you can get "You look stinkin' foxy" in some lyrics count me in. Enjoy!!

Soundtrack of My Life.

Happy Friday Friends!! I have had Mumford & Sons on repeat for the past two weeks. I think that if my life were a movie this would probably make up a majority of the soundtrack along with some upbeat teen pop thrown in for good measure. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

What Day Is It?

Talk about a crazy busy week, ahhh. I woke up this morning and couldn't believe it was Friday already, can't decide if this a good thing or a bad thing.

Today's music goodness is courtesy of Jenny Lewis. As if that was awesome enough you throw in a little Elvis Costello and Zooey Deschanel and you have a toe tappin', hooray it's Friday, crank up the music good time.

Do you all have big Super Bowl weekend plans? I am hoping to catch up on things over the weekend and I may or may not be spending the big game in my pajama's on my couch eating food that is not good for me, but oh so delicious.

Picture and a Song.

I thought I would keep it simple this afternoon so here is a lovely image from the movie Atonement to inspire you all. Isn't that green just beautiful?

And since it is Friday I had to share a song. "California Sunrise" is by a local San Diego band Dirty Gold that I heard a few months back, I dare you not to dream of early morning surf trips and warm California breezes when you take a listen. Enjoy! 

She & Him Love.

Just had to pop back in to share my recent video obsession. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Hey Joni, What's Your Sign?

Images Via: Caroline in the City

All of this Zodiac sign changing  business that has been the talk of the town lately has allowed me to discover two very important things about myself. 

The first being that I am utterly confused by the entire thing. One article says your sign has changed, another says it only changes if you were born after a particular year, another says it only changes if you stand on your head every fourth full moon (OK I made that one up). I figure that I am glad I never have been one to follow horoscopes and that I have always identified with the Virgo sign so I think I will keep it. So take that Parke Kunkle

My second discovery is that I am kinda psychic. Just a few days ago (before all this hoopla started-see psychic I tell ya) I bookmarked these gorgeous images over at Caroline in the City that were shot for Vogue UK. Aren't they gorgeous? If you want to see the remaining signs head on over here and take a peek, they all are simply gorgeous, but these were my favorites.

Also since you know I like to start of the weekend with a song I thought I would share some classic Joni Mitchell, her talent never ceases to amaze me - Enjoy!!

Take it Mariah

OK all I am finally starting to get into the swing of things around here thanks to Ms. Mariah Carey, HOORAY!!!

This is my all time favorite holiday song, well this and Alvin and the Chipmunks of course, hehehe.

It's the Weekend (Almost)!!

It's Friday, can I get a "HECK YEA"!?! I thought we should kick off the weekend with a little Anna Karina greatness. So get up and dance off those stresses that have been building up this week and let's all sing some Roller Girl and be euro fab.

And just in case you are feeling super inspired and want to get Ms. Karina's look:

You're gonna need:
1.) Some choice mascara and eyeliner from Dior. I LOVE THESE!!
2.) Some striped socks.
3.) A great pair of round frames.
4.) A button down oxford.

Happy Friday with Gwyneth and Glee.

Are you all as ready for the weekend as I am? It hit me yesterday that Turkey Day is a mere 14 days away, DID YOU HEAR ME 14!!! I feel the stress level rising as that means Christmas is around the corner and I have not prepared a darn thing.

I have been really trying to better manage my stress levels and one thing that I try and do everyday is pick out a song turn it on as loud as I can, bearing in mind that my neighbors may not enjoy my eclectic taste in music, and dance around and sing my little heart out. It is surprisingly fun and a great way to shake of the junk that usually happens in our day to day.

I came across this preview of next weeks Glee on the Entertainment Weekly site  (yep I am a Gleek) with Gwyneth Paltrow and it was the perfect song to relieve the stress for my day, plus I could listen to it around Punky without feeling guilty.  I have the Cee-Lo version and while it is a catchy tune I am not sure it is appropriate.

So I thought I would share it with you all. So turn it up, get out of your chair and lets dance and sing together, it's Friday after all.YAHOO!!!
