For Tuesday, August 9: Like My Mother Does

Lauren Alaina was the runner-up in this most recent season of AI. Just like Scotty blew us away in auditions so did she. I mean THAT voice coming out of that little 15 year old? Crazy! It seems that like Scotty Lauren comes from good family. She's very close to her parents and you can tell that they did a great job of giving her a firm foundation to stand on for life. We loved, and still love, about Lauren that she is so confident in who she is that she isn't too fazed about body remarks that have been thrown her way. She's beautiful and curvy and that's all okay!
This song is done beautifully! The power in Lauren's voice is very comparable to Faith Hill or Martina McBride. I can imagine they might be kicking themselves for not picking up the song, if they had the chance. The voice Lauren has is right up there with the big girls of country. She's gonna do just fine. :)

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
