"All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much."

Of all the whimsical things that make me incredibly happy all the way down to my toes (and tummy)...

Cupcakes and Muffins are most definitely at the top of my list.

Don't these just look so scrumptious?

Have a fantastic Saturday!

I have something to tell you.

and for those of you who know me well, you may be surprised?

and for those who know me really really well ...

may not be surprised at all.

or perhaps I could be completely wrong!

The truth of the matter is

I am a hopeless romantic

yes 'tis true.

In my mind I expect all gentlemen to have that Mr. Darcy persona
They will open doors, speak in a gentlemanly way, bring flowers, write love letters

dote on the one they are smitten with and know how to dance well.

see? hopeless romantic you may say.

I used to gag at the thought of romance novels,

or a movie that involved any sort of romantic vibe.

I was an avid and devout tomboy as a kid you see....

still am in many, many ways.

But I seem to be merging towards the middle in some areas now.

Romance is one of them.

I relish a good novel, or movie that demonstrates the way a real gentleman treats a lady.

sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era.

What is all this leading to you say? I found a beautiful. simply lovely. song.

and I was afraid if I didn't explain myself before posting it I would send out the wrong message.

ha ha.... such a worry wart I am.

( or perhaps I just wanted another excuse to talk about Mr. Darcy)

And noo, I do not have a "special someone" right now that this song is personally directed to.

believe me. you would know!

I just thought it was beautiful.

It is simple, and doesn't just talk about the "fireworks" side of love. =]

Here is the song.

and here are the lyrics. Enjoy!

I've been waiting all my life for this morning

Just to wake up next to you holding me

And your head is resting gently on my shoulder

Like you're whispering to me

I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

So glad I found you

I'm in love with you

When we're leaving dreams and rolling back the covers

All at once we're getting ready for the day

It's when you look at me in the mirror while you're shaving

Before I go on my way, you say

I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

You're the one I choose ‘Cause I'm in love

Love is joy and love is pain

It's kissing in the rain

It's doing dishes when it's late Isn't it, baby

It's the art of compromise

It's hellos and long goodbyes

It's the picture of our lives

Isn't it crazy

So I'll call you when I get to where I'm going

And I'll tell everyone we know you said hello

And without fail they'll ask me if I miss you

Of course I do, you know I do

‘Cause I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

You're the one I choose

I'm in love I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

I love you just the same as I did the day I fell in love with you

Joy Williams is one of my FAVORITE female artists. amazing.

Sometimes.....

.....I have more then one spoonful of peanut butter a day
......I secretly wish I could wear fancy dresses all the time
.......I have an entire day scheduled and I toss it all away just so I can stay curled up in my bed
............I procrastinate on my math homework
.....I could eat cupcakes and muffins 3 times a day
.................I dance around in the kitchen before anyone else is up
........I listen to oldies and try to sing like this particular fellow (lead singer)
...I think taking a shower seems like a lot of work and don't want to ( dont freak.. I give in to it)
........I just want to run away and live like one of Robin Hood's men in Sherwood.
....I forget to pray and Praise Him
.........I get a little obsessed with blogging =]

Sweet Nibblets! Terrific Tuesday?!

Goodness. A Frighteningly good day has paid this blog yet another visit.

I am Glad.

It is actually quite a fun task thinking of something Terrific to post every week.

Sometimes though, I wonder if perhaps it seems quite grand to me...

and only me.... and not to you.

I apologize.

Just don't go raining on my 3rd day of the week parade just yet...

let this easily amused brain prattle on in it's delight.

he ha ho hum.

Soooo... I know it's only the very first and freshest day of the month.

but it IS December!!! CHRISTMAS TIME!!

This entire month is dedicated to it.

I mean.. seriously!

So I couldn't help thinking

about all the Terrific movies I always end up watching this time of year

Some I don't watch until Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.

Others are just Spontaneous. =]

Okayyy, so maybe it's not something new to you. But I just can't help sharing.

What about you?
