This Monday was like any other, get up, feed and dress the kids, take the boy to Pre-Kindergarten, come home and try to get some work done. Two hours later go get the boy from school, try to get some more work done, blah, blah, blah.

 

Then right before dinner something changed my day. I received this email...

So I just got this email from Disney.com letting me know that The Disney Company now has a carpet and rug collection! Being the Disney Fanatic that I am, this is very exciting news. My personal favorite is The Disney Princess Collection, "Off to the Ball" in Blushing Beauty 814. If only my husband would let me decorate our bedroom the way that I really wanted to! Sigh!

My life revolves around music! I don't think that I have ever gone a day without some form of music playing around me. My life would be nothing without it. The other day I was reading in Real Simple Magazine and saw this quiz "do you really know the words to that song?" about misheard words in songs and matching them to the correct title. I got 100%, very proud of myself, but I was not surprised. It is a big pet peeve of mine when someone sings the wrong words to a song. If you love music you should give that quiz a try.
