Howdy!
Well, here I am-- this is my attempt at a blog.... I hope it doesn't turn out too awfully disastrous. This isn't going to be a blog about anything in particular, except for what I find to be amusing, moving, sad, happy, hilarious, educational, and everything in between! (This could include just about anything, so watch out...) So prepare for music, videos, music videos, (=P) song lyrics, poems, quotes, pictures, recipes, and the like. Pardon me if my ramblings are uninteresting and dull, by the way, I do try to keep it under control, but I'm a bit of a talker, and I have a lot to say concerning just about everything.
Who I'm loving a LOT right now is.... my sister! She's one amazing person, and if you haven't had the chance to meet her, DO! and check out her fantabulously magnificent blog, randomreflectionsofayoungwriter.blogspot.com =)
To start things off, I'm going to tell you a little bit about what's going on in my life right now; Frank Sinatra. Christmas music. Modcloth.com. CHRISTMAS. I know, I know, it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but my sister brought home Christmas cd's of Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble from the library the other day, and LORDY am I in love with both of them, so what's a girl to do in this situation? CAVE IN. Yup. The deed is done, and now I'm in the Christmas mood!
Some of the songs I've been listening to:
The Lord's prayer- Frank Sinatra
Ave Maria- Frank Sinatra
Sancta Maria- Andrea Bocelli
Lovers in Japan- Coldplay (not Christmas, mehehe)
You're Beautiful- James Blunt (ditto)
Ave Maria- Michael Buble
Silent Night- Michael Buble
...And what I'm reading right now:
Utopia- St. Thomas More
The Winter's Tale-- Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night's Dream- Shakespeare
Those are some suggestions, if there's a deep and burning need to listen to some good music, or read some good books. I always like suggestions myself, so feel free to bombard me with any at anytime ;-)
So now that I'm on Thanksgiving break, I'm looking for things to do.... I've thought of going to see Perks of Being a Wallflower and/or Argo... but you know, I really don't know what I'm going to do. I'll just have to play it by ear. Any AWESOME ideas of what one should do with a schedule-less week of bliss?
Quick note, by the way, on the title and web address of this blog: If you've read the "about me" part, you'll see that "let the world slip" and "we shall ne'er be younger" is derived from one of my favorite Shakespeare quotes of all time; "Sit by my side, and let the world slip... we shall ne'er be younger" (Taming of the Shrew) This quote is especially beautiful to me, and it's a reminder to let things go, not to worry, be as carefree as you possibly can. The fact is that you will NEVER be younger than you are right now, so don't let time get away from you-- live each day like it's your first and your last. Love deep. Listen well. Speak intelligently. Turn the other cheek. Have FUN and try not to do things you'll regret; and if you do, then you do, and there's nothing you can do about it-- so deal with it as best you can, and talk about your joys more and your problems less. =) And that, friends, is what I believe this quote is telling the world.
Goodness gracious, this has turned into a rather long first post, hasn't it... Bless you for bearing with me! Bonne journee <3

Bridget, it's so good to hear from you! (I'm with you with Christmas music; the boys broke out our Straight No Chaser CD a couple weeks ago) It sounds like you're having a lot of fun preparing for the holiday season. I listen to Frank Sinatra, too ;) My mom loves 40's music, and we listen to a satelite radio station in the car dedicated to it all the time.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're doing well! (And no, your first post isn't too long) There's nothing terribly exciting going on here...I can't wait till Thanksgiving, though. Stuffing and mashed potatoes with gravy are my favorite...
Anyway, please continue to pray for my dad's job. We're all getting impatient, but trying so very hard to trust in God and His will for the next chapter of our lives. :)
Bernadette!!!! It's good to hear from you, too!!! Miss you... Yes, I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving as well- I'm SO ready for my mashed potatoes fix of the year ;-)
ReplyDeleteI will definitely pray for the situation with your dad's job; I know that times like these can be stressful and very taxing... But knowing that God has a perfect plan always carries you through =)
Mashed potatoes are BEAST. (and trust me when I say I have never used that word before)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the prayers, they really do mean a lot. :)
Keep in touch! I miss you a lot and am looking forward to seeing more posts on this blog... ;)
