Well, if you haven’t already realized, it’s Friday the 13th. I try to remain a positive person, so I’m thinking this will be a good luck day, and while I’m not normally a superstitious person, I felt like I should take caution and not spread any bad luck to any artist or architect today, so I’m just going to throw a question out there… I could use some recommendations for some good music!

WHAT DO YOU LISTEN TO?

I listen to Pandora quite a bit (and psssst a good gift idea would be a no ad upgrade for anyone you know who listens!) – and I tend to get in a rut. I listen to the same few stations. Mainly, it’s George Winston. I like George, but Charlie (woof) LOVES George. He will actually sleep if George is playing (YAY!) So the beast usually wins. Also if I’m trying to write or read I need to concentrate, so I listen to George. When I need to switch it up I listen to Masako.

When I’m cooking, I listen to Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera (something with a beat!) or Happy Radio (Pherrell Williams song “Happy”). Other favorites are Koop (lounge type cool music), Eklipse radio (more happening)…

Catch you back here tomorrow!

Little Free Library - What a concept! — Little Free Library – What a concept!

What a brilliant concept! Have you heard of the LittleFreeLibrary.org? It’s a great idea and “libraries” are popping up all over the country! I snapped this photo while on a walk downtown (Charleston, SC)… no library card is necessary!

I love to read, and I used to buy all my books. Now I read faster so it wouldn’t be too cost effective for me to buy every single book. I use our public library which is fabulous. But the problem with it is that so many people use it (which is a good thing), but the wait for a book can sometimes be months (if a new release). Literally months. If I buy a book, I read it and then I pass it along. If we had a little free library, we could put our books that we’ve read in it, and “check out” a different book and return it when done. How great is that?

Do you have a Little Free Library in your area? Catch you back here tomorrow!
