.:rainbows are visions, but only illusions:.




.:rainbows are visions, but only illusions:.




I love movies. I love how beautiful they can be. How they can stay with me forever. The pictures are always floating through me. Even the music to movies can pull me into a magical world. I've watched the muppets seasons many times and have grown to love it and Jim Henson. He was a pretty amazing guy and tragic he died so young at 53. He started the muppets back in the 50s and the new movie I feel was a real homage to him. I loved the new Muppet movie for many reasons. Today I just want to share how much i loved Amy Adams Paris dream proposal costume. Very Regency style and perfect on her. Oh, how i wish i could wear Regency clothes every day.  Okay, maybe I'll share my other fave parts in The Muppets movie. When Kermit and crew sing rainbow connection. I actually get teary eyed. And at the end, which i will not spoil for I know you will go and see The Muppets, right? 



Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Far off places, daring sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!

.:Far off places, daring sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!:.




On Sunday, the 29th, My sister Summer took me to see Broadway's Best of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. It was so wonderful! I actually got a little teary eyed. First we went to dinner @ Clinkerdagger's, which was super delicious, and then headed to the show. We were princesses for the evening! It truly was magical. Emily Behny played Belle, and she was perfect. Some of my favorite parts were the tavern song where the cast clinked mugs together and progressively got faster. Then of course, Be our guest. When they shot streamers into the crowd there were plenty of oohs and awwws, but also more than a few startled hearts. We were almost close enough to be sprinkled with the shining streamers. Naturally, there was a standing ovation. I couldn't have asked for a better evening spent with my sister. I had such a wonderful and enchanting night. Thank you!!

.:see! the mountains kiss high heaven:.







Love's Philosophy
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle;--
Why not I with thine?

See! the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven,
If it disdained it's brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?
......:::Nine years ago today Brad and I started hanging out and never stopped. We weren't looking for love but it hit us like lightning. He took me all around town today, mimicking the first month we started hanging out as friends and ended up as a couple. It was romantic and sweet and Im so grateful to be with him. Above is a picture of the flowers he got me. Its not a bouquet of red roses. No, I have always loved baby's breath. Yes, these are not baby's breath, the store was out ^_^ but they are white and thats what he always gets me, white flowers. Even in my wedding I had white for my bouquet and it was gorgeous. Love definitely is a many splendored thing:::.........
