if you're having a week like mine...

 then i hope the little things at the end of this post will make you smile.

I hope you are having a much better week than I am. I've had a headache since last monday and this past monday is got worse. going to sleep with it and waking up with it worse. Yesterday was spent in bed with no school happening. yeah. I ran on the treadmill tonight hoping that it would help(I usually don't workout when i have a headache that i cant shake so i don't wear my body down) and it did for the time i was running and 30 mins after. then it came back. like boom. I'm really drained and just ah. If you struggle with headaches you know what I mean. they can really knock you off your feet and wipe you out. today i babysat and tomorrow i will too. i basically just Algebra done in the morning, had lunch early and had a long rest time. ;) thankfully, with homeschooling and such i can do that. the rest of my family is not feeling too well either. my sister is getting over a sore throat and now mom and dad are sick also.
But I have been blessed my family and friends who encourage me and some who know exactly what I'm going through. My family especially because they put up with my headache-easily annoyed self ;)
here are some other things that have brought a smile this week--

i love acoustic songs. and how each of these guys sing.


 this is so fun. i dare you not to smile.

 

 

i would love to go there one day. be one of those people.

Happy December! and Happy Christmas season! :) 

I can't believe its December. and it will 2012 in no time. holy time flying!
I hope you had a good thursday! This week was my day to babysit away from home yesterday and today so that meant earlier mornings and extra tiredness. But I made it through and its so worth it. love those girls. PLUS the parents of the little girls I watch had gotten some gluten free treats just for me the night before! {some i haven't even had before} that was a good surprise at 7am ;) FYI- I just had a glutten free vanilla glazed doughnut. the best sweet treat ever. yum. Anyway, so I got all of my school done by 2pm! woohoo! So that meant no school when I got home. I was able to do some other things before getting on the treadmill and [mostly] running for 3 miles! burned a lot of calories and now i feel really tired but I'm glad that I did it.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow and the weekend :) 



much love♥

i have a weakness for movie soundtracks

seriously i do. i love them. love. really love. okay you get the point.  i think soundtracks are one of the closest things to actual "raw" music. No sound effects. no voices. no distractions. just music. instruments playing all together. to tell a story. with emotion. sometimes i can just hear the a piece of a song and picture the scene in my head. Or sometimes its just background music for my own thoughts. or when i'm cleaning or playing a game with my siblings. or its a melody to fall asleep to. It brings back those "oh i love this part of the movie" and excited, intense etc. feelings without actually watching it.

Currently the Dark Knight and Thor soundtracks, my school work and I have been pals. the music makes algebra so much more workable. I'm keeping out The Dark Knight one from the library till the police come and haul me away. okay but not. but very close ;)

by the way, the Batman Begins album is a favorite too.

and other one....the Lord of the Rings. two words--amazing awesomeness. some of the best music ever.

so there it is-- I love movie soundtracks. they are one of my weaknesses. A good weakness though, I mean they help me with my school don't they? ;) I really think I will have my own little soundtrack library in my house in the future.

welp, I'm off to bed. Someone said there is a time before 7:30am called 5:15am. I'm not sure if I believe them but I'll find out tomorrow! {I'm doing this all in the name of babysitting and if-i-wanna-get-a-camera-or-a-laptop-i-have-to-work-for-it}

happy wednesday!
