Current Mood : Well-fed and sleepy.
I went through several ‘ultimate
Christmas’ playlists in the past few days, hardly ever seeing anything I’m not
yawn-bored with – I mean, yeah, Bing Crosby’s White Christmas is a
standard, a classic, the genre-definer, yatta-yatta. But I’m a whiny creature,
and can only listen to the same twelve songs over and over every year without
shrugging in boredom and disinterest, then crabbing about it on my blog. I have
my own classics, so if you don’t mind, I’d like to share them, via YouTube
links, with you.

So. Something for everyone,
and more if you’re old enough to lift a lip in despair for years past and bills
coming. Love to hear your forgotten classics and favorite moderns !
Therapy went well, and so
did my annual Dr. appointment. It wasn’t in-depth, as my heart and lung
functions seem to be holding steady, so all the more advanced tests aren’t
necessary for a while yet. Wanna know what’s funny ? I got my labs done early,
so I could have my first bite of food since midnight at about 1pm– and I wasn’t
hungry. I’d kept well-hydrated with water, even had a snack in my purse, and while
everyone else’s chow smelled good, I wasn’t gonna give in until I got the nod.
Until we stopped at Aldi’s
on the way home. Oh, boy, just looking at it all made us ravenous, so you know
we got tons of treats ! I snagged a huge bag of apples, and two giant stalks of
59c celery – so crunchy and green. As well as a nice big ham for next Tuesday. I
pulled some leftovers out to make space in the fridge for all the largesse,
then called ‘em lunch and ate ‘em. Washed some work clothes for Beloved Hubby and
dozed off on the sofa.
I got loads of housework to
do, so I think I’m gonna skip sewing tonight. But that means I’ll have tomorrow
!
Hello from Spain: I like the Christmas greeting with Monsters. It's a very original post. I hope to see your creations sewing. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteThanks for the eclectic selection. I've been listening to them a couple at a time while I finished up some work.
