Musical Monday

This song....

Makes complete sense to post this song since:

1) It's Monday.
2) It's raining where I am.

God bless The Carpenters - they created music that touched the soul. I'm a sucker for sad songs, but thankfully I'm not in a sad mood today. :) Enjoy.

that grin of impetuous youth....

So glad that Nick Jonas' version of "I Believe in You" (from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) is available to buy.  My brother and his friends were a part of this production for their theater group last month.  This is my favorite number from the show - it was very memorable, melody and lyrics-wise.  Then, I was recommended to check out Nick singing it. I'm very impressed - the transition he made into musical theater (as an adult) is seamless. Plus his appearances on Smash, haven't hurt either.

let your joy rise

A constant reminder for myself.

cupcakes

Yup. Another accurate statement.  I love cupcakes - eating them, baking them, decorating them. They're so cute. I ate 4 homemade ones for breakfast one summer day last year.  Found some cute recipes that I want to try soon!!

Strawberry - Yummy!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Caramel Apple - definitely want to try these soon!

As with all summers, my goal is to bake a bunch during my free time (i.e. when I'm not working!). Let's see how that goes.  What are your favorite flavor of cupcakes? Basic ones (chocolate, vanilla) or extravagant? :)

RED

One color I don't wear much at all is red. I don't know why, but I'm going to start. So many shades of this vibrant hue. Let's take a look at a few pieces I'm enjoying:

Why, Hello There....

Hello there.

Last week was extremely busy. I was preparing for a great promotional event for our organization and then being at the event all day on Saturday. It went very well but I was done. Yesterday, spent most of the day sleeping. Hopefully I'm refreshed and ready to go this week!

I saw this on Pinterest and it stuck with me:

Always need to forgive and let go. It does your whole self good!

How was your weekend? Do anything fun?
