A Little Friday This and That..

One of the advantages (depending on your view, I suppose) of being the daughter of people who liked all kinds of music, having your kids listen to the varied music you liked, and then having kids with wide music interests is that you listen to (and mainly like) all kinds of music.

Granted, if I'm driving cross country, I'm listening to classical music or classic rock with some occasional Jazz thrown in. But I have one kid who loves classic rock, alternative rock and country, and one kid who loves all rock and musical hits (sit down, you're rocking the boat). And I encouraged them to play their music around me, as opposed to only in their rooms growing up. So, while once in awhile the tenth replay of "Californication" may drive me crazy, in general I'm about the music. All the music, not just what I listened to as a teen. And while I can't sing for shit, I can tell the difference between Brook Benton and Nat King Cole at five hundred paces when the music's on low.

So with the exception of a few extremely violent songs, I'm not of the "I can't stand this generation's music" school of thought. And as someone who loves and adores the Rolling Stones, among other groups, if you find "Baby It's Cold Outside" to be offensive you better be giving up all that rock and country music you've been listening to.

In other news, I've started working on my 2020 goals and bucket list. While said list is not really huge, it has just recently gotten more complicated than I expected. I'll share the list next week.  I've tentatively assigned each month a name or designation, with January being "Jump Start January" so that I can make a maser plan and some lists (for some travel,  some creativity, healthy issues, slowing down,  moving again, and everything else I want to accomplish this year) in one big notebook.

Because (did you read that list in parentheses above?), sometime this year I am-you guessed it- moving back to Texas. Which complicates things in the short term (increased savings need, some downsizing, logistical issues, and more) but not in the long term. I promise a full post on this next week sometime. The short version is that it's time to live near a kid and since the one who has been living with me is a late bloomer and doesn't know where he will end up and the other one is married now (so fun to say that) and looking to get a house with a mother in law suite eventually, I will be heading back to a rental apartment down south for awhile. As I said, more in depth next week. Deep depth.

I also have decided to resume sewing and selling which also may be deserving of it's own post-mainly because I've been sewing more than I can gift or use?

On the Christmas front I've got everything done except for finishing the village and some ornaments. Like I said before, I guess I downsized more than I thought because other than ornaments they were gifted as kids, I really have nothing to get rid off-and may even buy a new church for my village. I'm committed to keeping the lost or hand made except for some needs for my kids, so there's gonna be alot of crafting while watching TV this week and the yarn will be going with me in the car to Texas!

This afternoon I'm off to coffee with some friends, then I'm going to nest here in the house for a couple days until church on Sunday-and then nest again before a holiday light tour and heading to the south.

By the way, if you haven't seen Knives Out, it is fantastic. Fantastic, I say. 

I'm going to try and start a Sunday afternoon post into the mix, so see you then.
