Found this weekend:

  • The version of Auld Lang Syne I’ve been wanting to download (from the SATC movie). I love this haunting folk version. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. Like Saph always says, I love “guitar music”.
  • A scarflet pattern that’s quick, easy, adorable, and doesn’t require any knitting skills I don’t have. Hey, I need it in a hurry, we had snow (flurries) Friday. Adrienne and I are having a “pick your own pattern” knit-a-long.
  • A turkey to feed the dozen or so adults we may have over on Thanksgiving. At least I don’t have to cook it, MIL volunteered FIL to do it, hehe.
  • A salon that does natural hair!
  • A former classmate. A knitter at that! This is the second crafting clasmate I have found this year.
  • A flat panel computer monitor at the thrift store, uber cheap. Yay me!

Did you find anything interesting?

Jazz for Halloween

Cool music for cool cats (and dogs, and skeletons, and fairies…).

And the history of Holidays, if you’re into that kind of thing (I am).

TMBG…Here Come the 123s

So I was looking for new podcasts and I came across the most wonderful one for kids. They Might Be Giants is releasing a new album in February, and so has a new weekly video podcast featuring songs from this album. It’s pretty cool. Each podcast has a slightly different visual/illustrated look and feature puppets, children and animals. So far, there have been five episodes and I definitely couldn’t choose a favorite. I want to say this albm is even better than Here Come the ABCs which we love. Can’t wait for this new one to drop, so in the meantime, we’ll be playing these videos over, and over, and over. So, search iTunes for Here Come the 123s, and subscribe! You won’t be sorry. :)
