Scripture 8/52

Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

Luke 12:27 (New International Version)

Sorry this is late, but it wasn't finished yesterday, so I finished today and took a picture with my sisters camera. This was my prototype of the project we are making with our kids for the father's day shindig next week. We have a student that does not have a father figure, so we decided to make a relatively generic craft.  This is my hand, so obviously their hands will be smaller. I gave mine to splitcat and told him he could take it to school to keep at his desk to look at. He politely declined.

So. Today we are a back to kpop. This group is called SHINee. They have been together just over 4 years. I don't really remember how I found them, but I probably became aware of them because they are from the same company as Super Junior. Like their name, SHINee's concept is bright and fun and youthful. They also appear quite a bit on variety shows(more so in the past) and are always fun and entertaining. They have also officially debuted in Japan and their most recent album is a Japanese one(they sing in Japanese). This video is from their last Korean album.

My favorite version of this is the dance version. This is the dance they performed on the music shows (one of the interesting things about how Kpop groups promote is that they spend about 1 month promoting their new single by performing on the major networks music shows every week. The dance is an integral part of the song).





The other version has a sort of plot to it if you prefer that sort of thing.




This is their latest Japanese release. It's very pretty, I think.

So, I promised two pictures for this week. These are both from valentine's day( I used my sister's camera phone). I forgot the perks of being a teacher were teacher gifts, lol. My brother in law brought my sister and I Valentine's donuts and mocha lattes. We really appreciated it.   We were supposed to wear red or pink or white(per our bosses request) so I wore a red sweater, my hot pink converse, and pink/blue/brown striped socks. Everyone was surprised because they know how much I don't like Valentine's day.

I think it's time for some Johnny Flynn. My love for his music has yet to abate. I just recently discovered a newly released album from Mr. Flynn, but it is a soundtrack for a movie. I have yet to purchase it and there aren't any videos on the tube yet, so I leave with a newish song that as far as I know hasn't been released on an album. I would love to see Johnny Flynn in concert possibly even more than I want to see Mumford and Sons.

Happy valentine's day.

tell someone you love them.

This video always makes me think of Valentine's day and is my 2nd favorite Super Junior MV.

Tuesday 6/52

This week has been all about the laundry. lots and lots of laundry. I also didn't get a pic for Sundays post, so I will probably try to do two this week.  I have a car again, which is so so lovely. And I am cold and falling asleep, so that is all for now.

This year brought the return of Mumford and Sons with the album called Babel. It's just as amazing as their first album. I am a huge huge fan. My own personal thoughts on the difference between the two albums is that this new one is a little less dark.

When the video for Lover of the Light came out I was interested to see what they had done with it. There are no appearances of the band in this video, it is purely a story. I won't lie. I totally sobbed hysterically cried when the first time I saw it. You probably will not have the same reaction, but I seem to recall it being a difficult day(I don't remember why) and it just kind of hit me sideways. I know you probably don't ever watch the videos I post, but you should watch this one.




Here's a bonus video for you. It is my current pipe dream to see them live.

Oops! I forgot to post this yesterday. Wednesday was a scary day. We were under a tornado watch most of the day and under several tornado warnings. This is what it looked like when I had to walk to the bus stop(I am still carless). The front yard flooded in a matter of minutes it was raining so hard. It also was hailing. Fun times.

Today I present the Last Bison. Splitcat brought me a cd a few weeks ago and said I might like it. He was correct. I like it lots. Their full album is apparently due out sometime this year, and I am definitely looking forward to it.

Tuesday 4/52

I have not accomplished anything this week except surviving. I took the girl to the audiologist because she failed her hearing test twice. She can hear fine.

Last night I had to take her to the urgent care because she hurt her wrist. Thankfully it is just a sprain.
It's been a while since I had to go there. It was a bit nostalgic as the whole reason I started this blog was because I was spending so much time at urgent care. Hence the title of this blog.

Saturday night I was at the dining room table on my laptop and the kids were asleep in the living room. About midnight I heard someone get up and head towards the bathroom. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed someone in the kitchen. I got up to ask what they needed and saw it was M. He walked over to the garbage can and stood there. I shouted out "Wait! This isn't the bathroom!" Alas, I was too late. He gave me a weird look and pulled his pants down and peed in the garbage can. I was laughing so hard I couldn;t breathe. He just kept looking at me like I was insane. When he was done he just pulled his pants back up and went back to bed.

I asked him the next morning if he remembered and he said no. Then he said he thought it was a dream. He tried to argue with me that is was really just a dream until I asked how would I know what he had dreamed. He was both amused and embarrassed. I laughed for about an hour every time I thought about it. When I finally went to bed, thinking I had stopped laughing, I lay down and promptly starting giggling, which soon turned to full on laughter. I woke splitcat up laughing then told him what happened.

This is the only highlight of my week. The rest of the week I am choosing to forget ever happened.
