Mercy!!

happy halloween!!

LETS DO THE TIME WARP AGAAAAIIINNN!! haha love that movie. Just watched it Friday night. I know this will probably be the last trick or treating trip for us. I actually can't believe my son is going this year. But I'll take it! This is a strange time for him. He's in between everything. He's not little anymore but he's barely a teenager. He still plays with his cousins when his friends aren't around. He's got a girlfriend that's quite a bit older than him in teenage years so she's on a totally different path than him and I'm just not a fan. He needs to catch up to her on his own time. That's what freshman sophmore and junior year are for. But did I listen to my mom when I was his age when she tried to talk to me about boys??? N.O.

He's a terrific kid and I am so beyond thankful for that. I pretty much trust that he will make the right decisions, but kids mess up. And he's too young to know what's best for himself. That's why kids have parents. I'm going to try my best not to smother him to death the next couple of years but so help me it'll take a miracle!!

Now roll on November!

 

happy thursday in october

Just wanted to say hello pretty love ♥

 

Magpie and the Dandelion *edited 10/22/13

 

 
















It's nice not having to wait even a year between albums. I've been so excited about this since I heard about it. Especially all the old songs that finally made it on. And the cover art is lovely. I love a birdie!!

 

A list will be hard but it's what I do. Even tho I haven't spent that much time listening yet, I think I can throw something together.

 

1- Morning Song - Number one is always the hardest. And 90% of the time I change my mind. But today, its this one. I've had it bad for this song. And two versions on the same album?? Yes, please and thank you.

 

2- Souls Like The Wheels - I've loved this song for years. But you never hear it. I'm so glad it's finally recorded. Seth's a happy sunny day in my heart and I LOVE this song. LOVE the lyrics. It makes me happy. And smile. I think I smile every time.

3- Bring Your Love To Me - I love every single thing about this song and I just get so excited when Seth sings a song. Any ol song. That pretty voice singing a pretty song like this... cant resist!

 

4- Part From Me - Sad. What's with them? I do love it tho. And *raises hand* I'm in love with you!! *This has quickly become one of my favorites. Love when that happens.

5- Never Been Alive - This is Dakota's favorite and he's wearin it out! :) I love it too. I love the whoa whoa's :) I've listened pretty hard this past week to the lyrics trying to decipher what these songs mean and it's pretty different than their other stuff in my opinion.

6- Skin And Bones - THIS is a sad song. And when Bob said when he hears this song he hears the story of the Avett Brothers??? What? That's a sadness. But dammit if this song isn't amazing.
 

7- Good To You - Even if that was the only lyric in the whole song, my heart just melts when I hear Scott Avett belt out "I wanna be good to you." Lordy.

8- The Clearness Is Gone - This song makes me sad. I love the sound, and he sounds great, but it's sad. But hell I love a good saddy.

 

9- Open-Ended Life - This is one of those songs that makes you think. 

 

10- Vanity - I do love it. I wish none of them were so far down the list, but they gotta go somewhere. I love the lyrics and someone said this reminds them of the Beatles and I agree. Still figuring out what it means in my head tho.

 

11- Another Is Waiting - I like it, I do, and I LOVE the video. But I guess I just connect the least with this song. It sounds great tho. Dakota loves it.

 

All the demos were a great bonus! I love shit like that! I love Magpie! I just hope since we got two so close together that it's not going to be an eternity before we get another. I could definitely go for one every fall :) Now I'm spoiled!



Mr. Teller

*Sigh*

What a pretty human being.

Long hair, short hair, no hair....

No shirt...

Several shirts...

Crying...

Laughing...

Killing us all....

Or killing us all...

He's always beautiful.

Ohhhh Jax Teller.

just so whimsy

i've been busy! there have been good days and bad days just like anything else. overall i think it's going great! there's still soo much to learn and do, but its a start, and i'm getting there! my days are so strange now. i'm trying to get used to a whole different way of life and it's very disorienting. everythings a mess (haha) and things are scattered and i dont really have anything down to a routine yet or set places for anything to go. it's just kind of chaotic. hopefully i'll get the spare room turned into an office one of these days. but right now i'm just kind of taking up the whole house. we don't even have a dining room table anymore for all my stuff covering it. that's okay. i'm learning and it'll take time! i have definitely learned something about myself this past month and that is I need to work on having patience. what happened? i thought I was doin good with learning patience. apparently not so much. so, this'll give me an opportunity to work on it. i have a lot of work to do all the way around.

here are a few of the signs i've made in the past few weeks. and i've made one sale!!! twas very exciting :)

happy lovely october

Well hello my lovely.

It's finally October! Woot Wooooot! And it's all dreary and gloomy looking outside which is perfect for the 1st. Give me those October eves!!

So. If we don't count today, which is already in progress so I dont...fourteen days until Magpie and the Dandelion will be in my possession. That's the most exciting of all!! There's tons of stuff lined up for this month. Some I'm looking forward to, some not so much. Busy times round here. I got my mums on the front porch all aglow. I'm ready!
