Conversations with My Daughter: Breakfast with Michael Bublé
In honor of Michael Bublé‘s concert tonight in Washington, D.C., and to toast that my daughter and I will be attending this concert together now that she is a teenager who loves going to concerts, I thought I’d repost one of my favorite blogs from 2012. My daughter was 10 at the time and has always known how much I love Michael Bublé. I guess I talked about him in a way that made him seem like he was one of my “friends.” The innocence of children is so sweet and funny. And so is Michael Bublé. 🙂 *** This morning I was getting ready to go out the door.…

Nevertheless…
I was definitely born in the wrong era; this wicked-ass hopeless romantic loves music from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. It’s the reason why I’m such a fan of Mr. Buble. He brings back all the classic standards that I love and makes them his own…with charm and sex appeal. “Nevertheless” has always been one of my favorite songs, written back in 1931, and I love the poetic lyrics so much. This song can make you swoon. Perhaps this is one of the shortest post I’ve ever written because when it comes to music, all we need to do is let the song tell us a story. Maybe it’s your…

Holy Moly. Move Over Mr. Buble—This Girl’s Got Swag.
Only occasionally do I post music clips, but today I am unusually compelled to do so. With a strong affinity for Mr. Buble and Sinatra, I tend to watch something when their names are mentioned alongside a singer–especially one so young. At seven years of age when this video was shot, this girl has got some serious swag. Her name is Angelina Jordan, and you are in for a treat as you listen to her sing Sinatra’s classic, “Fly Me To The Moon,” with perfect tempo and timing. This aired on Senkveld Norwegian “The Late Show.”

Michael Buble is Better Than Chocolate
I have a serious addiction to chocolate. I also have this notion that I was born in the wrong era. I much prefer listening to Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, and Nat King Cole on any given day than to dance music. Call me crazy, but I like the romanticism of the lyrics and that I can actually understand them too. Then, along came Mr. Suave, Michael Buble. Sinatra reincarnate. I have a big ‘ole crush on Mr. Buble, have seen him in concert three times, and own every piece of music he’s ever recorded. He can be raunchy, funny, sentimental, and appears to be a generally good guy.…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Kiss
This week’s weekly photo challenge comes from Sara Rosso at WordPress. The word is Kiss. In a new post specifically created for this challenge, share a picture which means KISS to you! I adore this photo. These are my friends Gui and Jenny; Gui is being silly by planting a KISS on Jenny’s cheek as we ham it up for the camera at the Michael Buble concert in Washington, D.C. My husband took the photo of us. We are all old friends who always have a great time whenever we get together. What I love about this photo is the pure innocence that’s captured as we laughed, talked, and caught…

Breakfast With Michael Buble
This morning I was getting ready to go out the door. I was dressed casually, but nicely enough that my daughter knew I wasn’t going to be home working at the computer all day. “Where are you going this morning?” she asked me as she was getting her breakfast together. “Out for breakfast,” I said. “Who are you going with?” she asked. “You’ll never guess it,” I said. She looked at me, mulled it over. “Michael Buble?” she said. I laughed. She is so funny and knows my affinity for Mr. Buble. Don’t ask me why it was top of mind for her this morning, but even as I’m writing…

The Best Thing About Pottery Barn Stores
I’m a big fan of Pottery Barn, and it’s not just because its merchandise is so appealing. It’s because of another reason that’s unrelated to the merchandise in the store. It actually has absolutely nothing to do with the merchandise at all. It’s because Pottery Barn plays good in-store music. When I can shop and hear the likes of Ella Fitzgerald or Louis Armstrong, Etta James or Nat King Cole, I’m relaxed. It makes my shopping experience that much better. All stores have gimmicks to get you to go inside: large signs, sales signs, awesome window displays, balloons, or buy-one-get one ½ off posters set outside the doors. However, I…
