Happy Fun Sun Days.

I stand amazed. All these days, and still I have come up with no brilliance for my blog. Sad day, my friends, sad day!
Nonetheless, despite my insufficient inspiration (not to say that some of you don't inspire me...) I plan to "give it a go" anyhow.
The fun sunny days are here again! at least, they appear to be. Yesterday morning (or was it the day before that?) found me up on the deck, bible in hand, tea in other hand, gazing at the mountain. Absolutely gorgeous.
However, lest I wander on that track for an inordinate amount of time, let me move on to other, even more random things.
First off, let me point out to the general public and world beyond that Ella Fitzgerald music makes for a lovely mood setter. I recently rented the "Ella Fitzgerald sings Cole Porter" cds from the king county library. (The only library left where I don't have outstanding fines. At least they don't charge a dollar per day late fee for movies, like some *coughenumclawcoughcough* libraries I know of...) Anyway, Ella's smooth tones, together with Porter's brilliance, are wonderful background music. Of course, I usually crank it up to unbelievable decibels, (much to the chagrin of my family, not to mention the surrounding neighbors) and sing loudly and dissonantly along with it. (provided I'm home alone)
And for those of you who saw my facebook status the other day, about country music, let me reassure you-- My folly has passed. (mostly) I have returned to my happy smooth music. No more twangy guitar tunes for this chick. Besides, most country music revolves around beer, illicit relationships, diesel trucks, and dogs. Oh, and losing your woman/girlfriend/wife. Yea. Good stuff, right? OOOOh wait. Not. At. All. (don't get me wrong, though... I do love trucks. For years, I thought I would buy one someday. However, outrageous gas mileage has convinced me otherwise.) That reminds me of a song.... "I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive... your big red-neck heartbreak has really been a lie." lol. (does Taylor Swift really count as country?) ;-)
Today is filled with happy things. Mostly girly things, including my jewelry addiction, but some more generic things. Like hiking (hopefully) and sun (at least for now) and music (obviously!) and iced coffee (at some point today) and sunglasses (after all, who needs the excuse of the sun to wear sunglasses? I've found that they are the solution to many problems... including bad hair days (which today is) ) and books. (always.)
Since I have now broken my previous record for bad grammar and run-on sentences, I should stop now.

G'bye!
