I love your "Tickled and Thrilled" posts. I love hitting on every one of those links and seeing the treasures that you have found, that I don't actually have to go and seek out.....thank you very much! I love, Love, LOVED "The Soundtracks for Everyday Adventures." Genius. Very Whimsical. I sat and previewed all of the songs while eating my glamorous dinner that consisted of cornflakes w/banana slices and a bagel thin......the music actually fit perfectly with what I was doing somehow. I think it actually made my cornflakes taste better. It was amazing. I felt like I was in a little film for a while. I think I might have to download that CD. In fact, I think that I will have more hope in the morning if I play "Checking things off a to do list early in the morning," when listing off the barrage of things that I need to do in my mind. How can you start off your day badly with that song? Definitely a soundtrack I may need in my car.

Thank you for sharing these treasures with us.

Sorry that there isn't a Trader Joe's in Utah..... :( I am a little spoiled here in California, I think that we have more Trader Joe's here than Star Bucks. I will have to buy some of that chocolate when I drop by there tomorrow.

And your last Ekphrasis, "Empress of the Blues" was perfectly composed. I think a book that paired works of art with how you are able to capture the image would be divine. Thanks for sharing. :-)

Lora--I was just thinking about you! You always seem to comment right around the time you're on my mind. Isn't that playlist the happiest bit of music you've ever heard? I think I'll go listen to it right now. Much love to you!

Jenn--I love you! Maybe we should get together soon as I feel like it's been far too long!

just catching up on things and VERY tickled and thrilled about the lullatone album. "happiest bit of music" just about sums it up. like lora, i felt like i was in a movie where my everyday things are adventures! it makes me want to go on a run listening to it. that would probably be the best run ever...

missing you!
