Saturday Morning

I slept in. It's been a LONG while since I've slept in so well (despite the bizarre over-heating, adjustment moment around 7:30.)

Thoughts:

1) My heart melted when this came on my iTunes. I hope it melts yours.

Tipitina and Me - Allen Toussa...

I want to be able to play the piano to play THIS kind of stuff. Stride, blues, New Orleans, be-bop. I suppose Mozart's pretty okay, but...man. This style just makes me want to CRY. It touches me somewhere a lot of other music can't even reach. Something about it is so deep inside me.

2) I was listening to Coldplay and looking through the pictures from Justin Hackworth. Lyrics stood out to me:
I feel safe, I feel warm when you're here
Then I do no wrong
I am cured, when I'm by your side
I'm alright, alright

I am safe, when I am with you
And I feel warm, If you want me too
I am cured, when I'm by your side
I'm alright

Careful where you stand, My love
Careful where you lay your head
It's true we're always looking out for one another


I am so happy to be married to the most handsome, wonderful man in the world. And I couldn't help but smile and think about how luckyluckylucky and blessedblessedblessed I am to have him. He's so gentle and sweet, takes SUCH good care of me and we're SO very much in love. I'm glad I've got a permanent Valentine this weekend and for always.


3) LIFE cereal (cinnamon) is the best. No one can argue this point with me.

4) Synthesis - "BYU's premier Jazz Ensemble!!" - isn't SO bad. Just the rehearsals are. As the semester progresses, I'm finding I'm having second thoughts about never doing it again. As in - this is my last semester?! EEK! Since 9th grade, I've never known what schooling is like WITHOUT jazz band rehearsal every or every other day. A faint nervousness consumes me.

5) Weekends are beautiful. Becasue on weekends, it's easier for me to see how life (not the cereal - but okay, maybe also the cereal) is beautiful.
