4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

On this day in 1967, my favorite Beatles song "A Day in the Life" was released.  To commemorate, a Beatles bow.  Etsy shop is RoxysBowtiqueShop.
George is my favorite Beatle, LOL.  I always thought he was the cutest, and I like his solo work the best.  Ironically, he doesn't sing lead on "A Day in the Life" as far as I know; Paul and Adenoid John shared that role.  Indeed, John's heavy vocal presence in the song is the main reason why Mama DOESN'T like "A Day in the Life."  She never was John's biggest fan.  She DOES like the Beatles, though; I can remember one time during my late teens, when we were all relaxing in our respective bedrooms.  Being in the mood for music I popped a Beatles CD into my player, and two seconds later Mama said from her room "You're gonna think I'm crazy, but I could swear I hear "Love Me Do."  I replied that I was listening to "Love Me Do" and we both proceeded to have a hearty LOL at that.  As for my sister, she happens to like a song that I absolutely loathe, "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da."  When I asked her why on Earth she liked such a stupid song she replied "Because it's stupid, and because it sounds so cheerful even though the Beatles were anything but!"  Indeed, the Fab Four had had just about enuff of each other by the time that turd of a song was released, with John himself stating that he also hated the tune.  Shudder...I still hate that one, and Sister hates "A Day in the Life," so it evens out.  

If I could have five minutes with Paul or Ringo now I'd ask them to think back to their youth and tell me if they'd ever dreamed they'd get as big as they did.  I mean, the Beatles still have fans to this day, long after their breakup and after the deaths of two members.  The fact that I was able to find a hair bow devoted to them attests to that.  I hope they'll still be popular when I'm the old lady in town!

Much love,

Let freedom ring

Image
Yet another patriotic one.  This one came from Etsy, but I don't know what shop it was. This one is one of three that my mother got for me in one fell swoop.  The others are the jellybean bow from June 3rd and the flag bow from June 14th . Like them, this bow is a big one. Let freedom ring, baby!  I remember sharing my memories of Flag Day, but I don't remember sharing memories of the Fourth of July...at least, not here.  Oh, I've got so many!  Halloween is my mother's favorite holiday, and Independence Day was my dad's for reasons unknown.  May have had something to do with his love for history.  But anywho, about April Daddy would start setting aside a little money here and there for fireworks, and as July 4th rolled around he'd buy fireworks with that money.  A few here, a few there, a whole sh!tload at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston...oh, Boomland.  I liked going there, but as I grew older I began to realize that it was kinda a dangerous...

Pac-Man fever

For the record, I suck at Pac-Man.  I've only played it a handful of times, but each time I couldn't get past the first level.  I guess it's one of those games that requires practice and patience...and patience is NOT one of my virtues!  Regardless, I do like Pac-Man.  Compared to the dumb video games we have today Pac-Man's simple innocence is...well, it's pretty nice.  Unfortunately I'm about to make myself look like a complete hypocrite, because my Pac-Man is munching more than just little white pellets! Phooey on pellets and fruit and ghosts, Pac-Man's hitting the hard stuff!  The Etsy carrier, DollfaceDesignss , goes heavy on the horror, so I guess Pill-Popper Pac-Man is kinda tame compared to Psycho .  Whatevs, I like my accessories a little (or a lot) on the offbeat side, so I'm happy.  This is a mighty nice bow, by the way.  Some of my bows pull my hair like mad, but this one slid right in. In addition to the goofy hair bow I've gone ...

International Sloth Day

Y'all know what that means! I think I've worn and shown this bow before (shop name is CherylsBowtasticBows ), but it's one of my favorites because SLOTHS, that's why!  I don't think I ever showed y'all my earrings, though. Those also came from Etsy (shop name is JMDesignsbyUS ), and they're made of wood.  JMDesigns is located in Sedalia, so usually when I order from them I get my item(s) toot sweet.  I never have been to Sedalia, by the way.  They seem to be a tornado magnet, having been hit in 1952, 1973, 1977, and 1980, so maybe I'd best NOT go.  The tornado in 1952 hit the Missouri State Fair, by the way.  Normally it's a bad thing for a tornado to hit during the night, but in that case it was a very good thing, as the fairgrounds were fairly empty.  Indeed, the only fatality in the 1952 storm was in a mobile home, not on the fairgrounds.  But enuff of that; this is supposed to be about sloths, not tornadoes!  If you've read my doll blog t...
