Holiday....Celebrate!

Notes have all been sent. Reports have been completed. Timesheet has been updated. Notification email has been sent to all of my clients. Yes! I am officially on vacation. Whoo hoo! John & I are both SO ready for a holiday, I already know it's going to be great. We're spending the next 10 days in East Hampton, NY with my whole family...how could it not be?!

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians on July 1st! Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans on July 4th! May you celebrate with beer & sparklers.

Sunshine-ily,

The New-Old Sound

I'm making a recommendation today & I hope you'll all take me up on it. Here it is:

Go directly to your local music store. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200. Pick up the Amy Winehouse CD called "Back to Black". Get in your car & put it on (actually, make sure you BUY it first, I'm not advocating shoplifting). Roll down the windows & turn up the volume. And let the awesomeness of the entire album change your whole outlook on what music should be. THIS is what it should be.

We've had the CD since last week and I've already listened to it about a hundred times. (What? No, I'm not obsessive at all.) I've been waking up in the middle of the night with her songs playing in my head. How insane is that? Now, I'm not a music critic & I don't really know how to put her sound into words. But I do know that she sounds like she's from a whole other time. It's totally cool & totally worth it.

OK....go!

Musically yours,
PortlandGirl

p.s. I talked to Dado earlier today, but I'd just like to wish a very Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Do whatever you want today!

Rhetorical Question

Do you ever feel like Laura Ingalls in the Oleson's Mercantile of life?
