    Rainy Day*

    You know those days when you wake up and just know you’re going to be productive? (aka: realize that you cannot put things off any longer or you might lose your mind? haha) Today was that day. I did all those little things that have been bothering me for a while but have been too lazy to do. *I finally hauled the rest of our crap out to our storage locker so I can now access my piano. :)*I did laundry and washed my sheets… is there anything in the world better than fresh sheets?

I know he was far from a perfect person–*ahem, child molestation accusations*–but his music was iconic, and I love it. But what I find even more sad than his death was the initial reaction of a certain celebrity blogger: Perez Hilton.

    Looking Back: Then and Now*

    This post is a part of 20SB’s Looking Back Blog Carnival, and Ben & Jerry’s is awarding free ice cream to lucky bloggers and readers! As you may (or may not) know, I recently found a wonderful little online community called 20 Something Bloggers.

This fabulous little community also puts on “Blog Carnivals” from time to time. I’ve never participated in a Blog Carnival before, but I really liked the theme of this one, so here…
