Random Wednesday Obsessions

I have become obsessed. 

I found out about the SigNote app for my iPhone here and I can't stop playing with my pics.

See!

Doesn't it look like the hearts are chalk on the sidewalk? So freaking cool. 

Oh Brian. You are trooper for letting me use this photo--but

really the intended focal point is the sketch of his brewery label--Skinny Fish Brewery

I do heart my B&B. 

It's sorta hard to see my sketch of a dog and cat, but it's pretty professional.

On other random Wednesday notes,

I can't get enough of these guys 

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes--Home

{I ADORE the lyrics to this!!!}

or these guys

Of Monsters and Men--Little Talks

and I am going to this concert Thursday at Red Rocks.

Bon Iver--Holocene

Hooray for random Wednesday obsessions.

What a Wonderful World

I love this song.

 I love this version of the song.

 I love that this song reminds me of my family, especially my dad.

(We danced to it at my wedding!)

 Today, this song reminds me that we do live in a wonderful world

even though it's difficult to see sometimes...

This song!

Ugh! This song gets stuck in my head every time I hear it...!

But here's the deal. I sorta love it. I THANKFULLY don't have a real connection to the song, personally, BUT the song does help me feel riled up for those that do. Sometimes people really suck and they really hurt others. It makes me sad/mad that this happens, of course, so I am glad that Gotye captured the torture in the form of this catchy little number. I turn it up loud as an anthem to those who have been hurt and I sing with hope that healing is found by singing like crazy.  

FYI:  The rest of the Gotye album is really interesting...they definitely have a varied sound...

Thank you, Bret Saunders.

I'm kinda (who am I kidding) definitely a routine girl. I am especially fond of routine on a work day. I am absolutely confident that if I couldn't listen to the 'BCO morning show with Bret Saunders

every morning I would be miserable.

 Seriously, miserable.

Bret has a way about him and his show that brings interest, humor, "coolness" and spark that ALWAYS helps me be in a better space to teach middle schoolers.

I anticipate his quick weather report around 6AM, his banter with Robbyn Hart before the "what you need to know" news segment at 6:25 and the "much too early for a question, question" at 6:40ish. (See! Routine!)It is a rare day that I don't chuckle or smile at something Bret says.

Thank you Bret Saunders for being you.

P.S. Just a small suggestion for Bret: my routine would be even happier if James Taylor was not played between 5:15-7:10 :)
