Happy Duran Duran Appreciation Day!

Although I have pretty much been listening to nothing but Take That since this whole depression thing set in, I still always have my boys in my heart and this is the week I celebrate them most, especially today since it is an official holiday! From my very humble beginnings as a 10 year-old girl falling in love with this very young and handsome man:
To even today, when we've both aged more than our fair share, but he still looks as hot to me today as he did then (if only I could say the same about myself):

So for my video dedication, I'm going with the Duran song that was written with the Duranies in mind...it's their song to us:


And, since once is never enough, let's go as far back as one can...to the demo version of Planet Earth, which I can guarantee that only a Duranie has ever seen:

To my favorite spin off (sorry Power Station):

To my ever favorite:

A bit of solo Simon (because I can):

To the most recent video they've done:

And finally, to the one song that should be my anthem right now considering how everything in my life is going:

"The past is another country, the present will never last, the future is still tomorrow, are we living too fast?" Story of my life.

Cool! I hope you had a good day today.
Happy Duranie Day to you. Sorry I couldn't find a card to send. Hallmark have really missed a market there.

What? You mean I missed it?! I think I'll have to make my own day later this week and listen to them.
I have to admit, I don't think I ever knowingly heard something by them before. I did listen to all the ones you posted though, and really liked the new one!

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
