Song Of The Day: Mother Mary By Foxboro Hot Tubs

The Foxboro Hot Tubs are the secret side project of Green Day. Billie Joe Armstrong told NME magazine: "The only similarity between Green Day and Foxboro Hot Tubs is that we are the same band." His reasons for starting the band, also told to NME magazine, were that they "love to play music and be spontaneous, and after a few late-night jams and a few too many bottles of wine, we were inspired to record some rockin' eight-track recordings."

Brand New Day

Last night I took some cold and flu medicine and watched the election results in bed. I became misty eyed during some of the news coverage. I thought John McCain’s concession speech was very gracious and heartfelt. The coverage carried on and I felt myself nod off with a feeling of peace and comfort. (Was that Obama or the meds?)
Garth nudged me awake to hear Obama speak. As I watched it I felt so incredibly hopeful and inspired.
As I sit here now, I still feel hopeful. Some of the highlights that I loved were......Joe Biden walking onstage with the biggest smile, Obama kissing his wife, Obama leading Joe Bidens mother to the front of the stage to stand beside he son.
Let the healing begin.

The fact that she has lived to be 109 is cool. Her life story is fascinating. I can't imagine what it must have felt like for Amanda to cast her vote in this Presidential election.

Song Of The Day: Answer By McLachlan

This song moves me. I feel it is about being there for someone you love and care about through even the toughest of times. Being their strength when they are weak and giving them hope.

Each Day

"One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words. "

Johann von Goethe

What an inspiring quote. It led me to start thinking of other things I think that I ought to do each day.

1. Kiss and hug my children

2. Take time to reflect on the positive things in life.

3. Do something completely indulgent..... eat something decadant, take a long bath, take a walk alone or with someone.

4. Tell a loved one that you love them.

5. Take just a few minutes to do absolutely nothing.

I Look Like Michael Hutchence

My husband has become a critic of my hair.

Since receiving chemo and radiation it has taken on a whole new look.
He was with me during my hair loss and would often reflect to me who I reminded him of during the regrowth stages.
My hair which used to be long and poker straight is now short and extremely curly. As I attempt to grow some length, I have mastered the art of keeping it pinned back with a fairly tidy style.
Today, seeing that I was just going to be having a day about the house I let it dry naturally without any product or styling.
My husband looked at me tonight while we were eating dinner with a smile that meant I was amusing him somehow. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

He revealed that my unruly hair made me look like Michael Hutchence from INXS. I must confess that when I actually take a look in the mirror I can see the resemblence.
