Tree Swings

Where we live, there are tons of trees. Seriously, tons. Even with a recent thinning out a few days ago there are still at least 100. I've never taken the time to count them all, but I really don't think that's an inflated number. Well, one of the things that I've been meaning to do with all of these trees is make a tree swing. Nothing fancy. Just a board tied to the tree with some rope. How hard can that be, right? So, maybe, just maybe this week I'll hit the Home Depot for some rope and a few boards. :)

BTW, this gorgeous tree swing pic was found on Syracuse.com.

For your listening enjoyment, here's the video of the day.

Being A Girl

I love being a girl. Okay, maybe I no longer have time for the nail painting, the hair styling, or the leg shaving. ;) But there are other ways of being a girl. Letting a guy do things for you is always a nice way. It's not that I act dumb (well, *that* dumb). It's not that I can't do things for myself (I can, it would just take a bit longer). It's just that if there's a guy standing around wanting to do something for you, you may as well let him. He'll feel all happy that he's helped you. You'll feel all happy that you didn't have to do it yourself.

Guy favors can be anything from him washing your car, to him changing your oil, to him mowing your lawn. The list is endless. It can be whatever needs doing, you know? Anyhow, I remember guys would always do things for me when I was happily single. Hmm. Is there a refresher course out there somewhere?

Anyhow, back to my point... Last week a friend was kind enough to come out and install some speakers in my vehicle. It's hard to tell they're there because of the kind of music I normally listen to. It's not as if I drive around thumping or anything. However... I recently borrowed someone's CD and... wow!

This is probably my favorite song from the whole CD. I probably listened to it 5 times just this morning!



So, if you enjoy listening to music and having it actually sound good, I highly recommend getting a sound system put in. What I have isn't the biggest, nor is it the best. But, boy, does Beyonce sound good! :)

This explains a lot!

Video of the Day: Not Gon' Cry

I've always loved Waiting to Exhale. The story is terrific. It's great how these women (all wronged by their good-for-nothing men) all end up getting something good by the end of the movie. Not to mention, it has a terrific soundtrack! Here's one of my favorite songs. Sing it, Ms. Mary J.

Updated on 3/23/2009 to change the video to that of a live performance. The video that went to the movie had the audio taken off for legal reasons.

Video of the Day: Over You

Are you getting sick of these videos? :) I'd love to post other stuff, but it's been super busy. So, in the meantime I'll keep taking mental note of songs that mean something and keep posting them here. At least it's not sucky music, right? Although it is a bit eclectic! Today's song isn't my usual style, but it still rocks.

Video(s) of the Day: A Hard Day's Night

Good news... Although I really can't afford to replace anything my pretty pink camera, at least I have a laptop again. No more having to make-do without online access. Now I can do schoolwork and other fun stuff at home again. Yay!! Of course, it's not as nice as the one that was lost, but it will definitely do the job. :)

Video of the Day: Nada

Juanes. The music video to this song is too sad. Here's a nicer live performance instead!
