There's also music below, if that's more you're thing
I'm not sure what May Day is all about, or if it is even an actual event/holiday. But I hear there is this little ritual where on the first of May you leave a little basket with flowers/candy/goodies on the door of people you like and try to sneak away without getting caught. (If you get caught, you better pucker up because you're supposed to kiss). I guess it's to celebrate spring (or whatnot) but I'm just so smitten with the idea of sending happy "just because" presents I've decided to make it my "mission" to send out "May Day" baskets this June. ("June Day" baskets? It just doesn't sound the same.)
I started off with making playlists/mixed "tapes"for people. Probably because I LOVE getting them; a personalized CD makes me feel super special. But I ran into a bit of a pickle. Lately it seems like all the good music I come across is a bit "dark"/sad and some of my nearest and dearest are a bit glum. And I start thinking "Are a bunch of downer (albeit dang good) songs REALLY the best way to say "HAPPY spring" Is it okay to include 3 separate songs with the word "Blood" in the title or should I be saving that for Halloween/something else all together?
Maybe I'm just over thinking this one too much.
Besides last weekend I picked up this from Williams-Sonoma. I've got to start thinking of sassy sayings (that are under 20 characters) to put on a cookie (suggestions welcome...I will NOT be making any that say "sweet heart")
Here's the Music update for the week:
Band: Born Ruffians
I Need a Life (probably their best known song, this was the first one I heard)
Barnacle Goose (my current favorite)
Little Garcon (I like this one a lot too)
The 3 "Blood songs" I was referring to above:
The Middle East- Blood
Bon Iver- Blood Bank
Foals- Blue Blood (already featured, but here it is again)
