10 Thoughts Tuesday...the sorta Olympic Version...July 31st

1. Hello all. Have you been watching the games? No, not the Hunger Games...the Olympics!

2. I think we all have favorites. Mine is synchronized swimming. Tell me yours.


3. Did you know I planned to enter the Olympics with this?





4. I thought about hosting an Olympic's event here in my fair town at our local Walmart. It could be called shopping cart races.


5.  Today besides watching on TV, I have been getting ready for the baby shower on Sunday.


6. Did I mention I was hosting it?  I am just glad we chose to have it at a restaurant. Less hassle.


7. I tried my hardest to make a diaper cake. After several failed attempts, it was finally made right with the help of a friend.

Not quite finished

8. Never, ever, EVER, attempt to make a diaper cake.


9. I was able to go with my daughter last week to her ultra-sound.  The baby was doing its own version of the Olympics and would not allow us to see the sex. Hmph...


10. Well, here I am at another quick 10 Thoughts. Stay cool because it is too dang hot out there!

10 Thoughts Tuesday moved to Wednesday...July 25, 2012

1. Hello all. I know it is Wednesday. I missed Tuesday some how. Ah well. You will forgive me. Right?


2. It has continued to be hot, Hot, HOT here. Again in the 100 pluses. I swear to you I am going to break out my rain stick and start dancing.


3. Anyone want to join me? Did you ever see the video of me dancing in the rain before? 


4. My Mom broke out of a bottle of Merlot just now. Boy does that taste good.


5. We have to drink the whole bottle because we no longer have a full size fridge and it must be drunk or it will waste. Dang, that is tough. lol


6. I do not know if it is the weather or what but I am having a terrible time with Uncle Arthur Itis. He is a real pain!


7. My hands hurt so bad I could just scream. I do everything possible to try to soften the pain but nooooooo.


8. Since my Mom sold the fridge and we have been living out of coolers for the last week, she decided this was not going to do. So, she goes and buys a tiny apartment size fridge. Sometimes, my Mom is a bit nutty.


9. I am not nutty too! Hush, you!


10. Well, I think I should go buy a kiddie pool and lie in it. Hey, I would be cool...or look like a total dork! 


Bonus thoughts:
1. Wow, that went quick. 
2. My mind has been so clouded with the events in CO. I refuse to have that persons name or photo anywhere on my pages. I only want to honor the deceased. Join me in that effort?
3. More wine please!
4. Have a good week!

Mondays Music Moves Me...July 23,2012

Hello my friends. It has been difficult to come and blog because the incident in Colorado seems to have weighed on me greatly. However, in my life I have time and time again turned to music to sooth this soul and to also excite this soul. Today is no different.


This week we have a freebie week and because of that I wish to dedicate it to the people who are no longer in our midst and with special dedication to those who perished this past Friday in Colorado.

You are missed loved and remembered.

 Peace...Naila Moon

In Memory

As many of you know, I am moving back to Colorado soon. My husband is from there. Colorado has had a terrible Summer and it is with a heavy heart to think of the tragic events that occurred last night at the Aurora Theater.
I wish the families a sense of understanding in a non-understood situation and for the victims to rest in peace.

10 Thoughts Tuesday...The dang it's hot addition! /July 17, 2012

 
1. Hello everyone. If you are just coming to this Tuesday blog then please join in. It is not hard really. Write 10 random thoughts as you think of them and post. By all means grab my thinker button to link back to me. Oh and comment!

2. I love comments! Have you seen this parody on commenting?

 

3. So, on to other thoughts. Did I mention it was freaking hot! Oh yeah it is! This is what it is right now. It is moving in to the triple digits. See that humidity? Ugh.

97°F

Feels like 97°

Mostly Sunny

High: 97° Rain: 0 in  Low: 77°  Wind: 3 mph WSW Humidity: 36% UV: 9

4. I know it is hot everywhere but it is only affecting me. 

 

5. So, yeah, I am joking. I feel for ya all.

 

6. There was a Facebook survey out about if it should be required of all landlords to provide air conditioning in the places they rent. What do you think about that?

 

7. Yesterday I posted my usual Mondays Music Post. I happened to mention that the singer Barry White was one of the people who passed away. People were surprised. For the record, he passed away on July 4, 2003 of kidney failure.

8. Oh his smooth voice! I wonder how many people have actually made love with his voice in the background. Would you admit it if you had? lol

9. Here is another sample of that smooth sound. I am totally diggin' his music right now.

 

10. Maybe it is just because I miss my husband so much. I have not seen him in almost two months now. I love you honey!

Mondays Music Moves Me...Gone But Not Forgotten...July 16, 2012

Hi everyone. It is Monday and time to rock out with Xmas Dolly and the conductors for Mondays Music Moves Me.  This is the 98th posting for the 4M's and in two weeks...YES, TWO WEEKS...we will be celebrating our 100th anniversary posting. Wow!  I hope you have been playing along and of course entering the giveaways too. 


This week we have a theme: "Gone but not forgotten". we are paying homage to all those people who have made the music world but are now not among our midst. Hmm...let's see what I have for you this week.


Most recently this actor passed away but he was also an accomplished musician:



This singer is one of my favorites:



Next up...who hasn't been romanced with this guy singing in the background:



Next...this guy sang with the above two:



Finally...although this guy did not sing himself he helped to promote and jump start many careers. Thanks for the music!



Peace...Naila Moon


Bonus: Les Elgart and Bob Horn were the original music writers of the theme song for Bandstand. Bob Horn was also the original host of American Bandstand as well. Bruce Howard Sussman wrote the lyrics. It was only in 1977 that Barry Manilow rewrote the song.

Mondays Music Moves Me...July 9, 2012

Hello my friends, coming to you with a late night Mondays Music Moves Me. We are on our 97th week and moving on toward our big celebration of 100 episodes.


This week is freebie week which means I get to pick the tunes sans theme...that is if I want. Hee hee


This week I have been up to my ears in moving boxes as my Mom and I are both moving, she to one state, me to another. It has been a little nuts around here. So, I thought why not do songs about movin'...(little loose interpretation here)


Let's start with my favorites: (hee hee)




On to this one: ( be patient a few minutes because the song is 2nd)



Finally this one:



Peace...Naila Moon

Featuring Faces Friday...July 6, 2012

 

Hello my friends. It is a late Friday for this post but you all can forgive me...right?

As I am doing every Friday, I am featuring two of my lovely blog followers.  Please go by their blogs and say hello. Tell them I sent ya, will you?

If you are featured, you get to grab my Grandma's button. That's her right up there. :)

Featuring...

Ms. Stiles

Blog: Butterfly Flutter Isaiah 40:31


Notes: I cannot be sure where I met Ms. Stiles. I believe it was through another blogger. It is possible that we got in touch with each other because she adopted and I could relate on some level as my Dad was adopted. I do know she followed some of my writings. 
In any case, if you want to read about a lady who has gone through some struggles but always has faith then she is the gal for you.  
Thanks for following me.
