Hearing The Rock Star Guide to Falling Apart -- The Pretty Please

Your Wednesday Music Selection


This is about the time of day I start getting a little snoozy, so here's a little something for you and me to perk ourselves up: The Rock Star Guide to Falling Apart, by the indie band The Pretty Please and their album Demonstration. It's spunky and loud. Between this and yet another diet Coke, I may make it through.

    Hey John.. Check this out, it's a brain teaser that my hubby sent me.  It may take you a minute to find what's wrong with the picture.  Let me know how you do...

    I have wished you happy belated typo-filled birthday wishes via your very old, very late birthday entry.  Sorry I missed it.  I'm sure the party was a blast.  Any left-over cake?
