Lazy Saturday

It's a gorgeous weekend here. But I feel a cold coming on....it's been trying to get me all week, but today is the first time that I really feel pretty crummy. So I am taking it easy today.

I did give Finn a bath (got a cute picture that I might post later), and have been doing some laundry.


I'm just playing on the internet and reading a really good book called "A Sense of the World: How A Blind Man Became History's Greatest Traveler." A very interesting biography about a young British Man in the 1800's with a love for travel. He became blind and still continued to trek around the world....more details to follow, as I'm just getting into it. But if you're looking for a good read, I highly recommend it.


Since I rarely watch tv or listen to radio, I tend to get lost in my own little world sometimes. But I have heard all of this talk about Paul Potts, who won Britain's Got Talent. I was just reading on another blog, where someone posted a link to this utube video, and I was absolutely blown away. I am a big fan of classical music; I grew up in a household where there was always some form of classical music playing. So I used to detest it (as most teenagers do!). But the older I get, the more I find comfort and peace in classical music. It is so moving and emotional, and I get so shocked when sometimes I'm listening to a piece of music, and all of the sudden I'll be in tears. (Like I was while watching this video). That is, to me, the beauty of music. There is something so innate inside of me that draws me to rhythm, sound, and melody. This Paul Potts is amazing. If you have a second, please listen, and I bet you you'll be glad you did. As for me, I'm going to buy the cd today!


And one last little tidbit for the day. If you like candy, go here:

The name says it all. Don't even know how I stumbled upon this one, but it's mmm mmm good! He does have a candy-giveaway going on; there are 400+ people already entered, so chances of winning are slim, but anything can happen!
Happy Saturday-
