Fallin' For You

She first hit the music scene with "Bubbly" which I almost did but I figure the song has been overplayed and ya'll would just groan if you heard it!  It's a good song but like any good song the radio stations played that thing until it became a hated song! 
I ended up picking this song not just for the song but I think the video is funny!  I love that she picked a guy that isn't who hardly anyone would pick!  :) 
Colbie Caillat has a great voice, she's a great musician, and she stays under the radar which makes her even more appealing.  My hub and I saw a "Cribs" with her a couple of years back.  She had just made it big with "Bubbly" and was still living with her parents and strumming her guitar.  We loved her carefree, down to earth personality.  Since then Colbie has continued to make music waves on her own and with others.  She does a great duet with Jason Mraz called "Lucky", they sound divine together! 
Happy Monday!

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing.   Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh.  Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color.  Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details.  Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think.  If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well.  In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
