Ooooooo-oooo I gave you my heaaaa-aarrtttt. Dont go breakin’ my.. don’t go breakin’ my.. Don’t go breakin my hear-ah-art.
Oh don’t be silly! This isn’t a downcast Friday Feeling song! I’m not languishing under a pile of Jelly Snakes and copies of Cosmo looking for some inspiration or should that be aspiration? Anyway.. I’m not blue, or sad, or crying – oh the flood of Tammy Wynnette and Dolly Parton coming to me right now is almost, gasp, overwhelming, but I digress..
It’s always ok for a bit of Muppet Magic – ye still haven’t lost it guys and eh, pigs! And there’s great synchronised clucking as always from the chickens.
Mind you.. apart from the revelation that Auntie Elton can’t remember the words to his songs anymore and needs an autocue, maybe why this song popped into my head and subsequently hasn’t left it is down to the Tinys. Who are now the Tiny Teenagers… with lots of energy and the ability to scale curtains and sets of drawers in the blink of an eye. The poor curtains. And then there’s the scuttling along the top of my lovely leather couch and the inevitable scraping sound when one of them ambushes the other. Sigh. One of their favourite games seems to be ‘See how much litter we can flick onto the floor from it’s tray’, along with ‘First one to knock the vase of flowers can have first go seeing if she left a window open’. Groan.
Sometimes I think these Tinys are going to break my heart with their boldness… other times I know my heart would break if anything happened to them!
This is definitely the song for today! Myself and Limerick girl are going out tonight and tomorrow night – oh yes, the crayons and sparkles will be in hand for us to do a bit of town painting! Oh I love ‘Friday Feelings’! The whole anticipation keeps me going right throughout the hours at my desk before I can rush home and get into that LBD, throw on the DG leather jacket, climb into my 5inch Kurt Geigers and.. well.. who knows!
This song also came to mind as I was having an online chat with an old friend. We met in South Africa and had an absolute blast out on the piss in Cape Town for.. oh.. what was it? 1 week? 2? Just how many times did you change your flight home?! And she’s at the really exciting stage of having just met a new guy – oh the excitment! And if anyone can party, it’s her. Hehe… we’ll definitely have to be in the same country, same pub again soon, I should start putting energy aside for that weekend now!
As suggested by the lovely Glamazon in celebration of not just Cathyfly getting a fab new job.. but in celebration of you! And you! And you!
It’s Friday Girlies! Go out and dance your little stilettos off! Throw them in the corner when your feet hurt and get back on the dancefloor! Oh yes, sisters are doing it for themselves!
Oh Friday! You’re here again! Oh Friday, let me count the ways that I love you! It’s like I can’t wait til you come around and I never want you to go away. Oh, I have such fond memories of you, Friday, and I’ve got some great ones planned in the future.
So, what do you want to do today? It’s your day after all, Friday! Me, I’m just hanging by your coat tails, glad to go with you wherever. I’m fine, I’m great in fact! I know it’ll be good. I know you’ll take me somewhere I like being – we always have a great time when it’s me and you. A drink here, a dance there… some food along the way before another dance and another drink. Darn it! You know how much I love you Friday!
You take me to the edge of heaven, baby!
For the blonde who suggested the band, for the brunette for getting the ‘Friday Feeling’ spot on and for McSmile that guessed the band and the song as soon as I asked him what today’s post should be.
…is pray. Pray that my mind isn’t playing tricks on me and that it is indeed the weekend! Pray for the workday to end so the fun can begin. Pray that it doesn’t rain as my hair and rain definitely don’t get on. Pray that I can actually leave work early! Pray that I remembered to put the top I want to wear in the wash last night. Pray that nothing stupid or family crisis related happens to take me away from my night of fun. Pray that no one else is wearing the same top as me in the pub later. Pray that some extra money has magically appeared in my bank account. Pray [again] that I win the lotto to stave off any future worrying about not having enough money for a night on the tiles. Pray that whatever happens tonight, tomorrow will be even better! Pray not to walk out of the Ladies with loo roll on my shoe or my knickers tucked into my skirt. Pray that both of those things in fact happen to yer wan, the bitch – that I would pay to see! Pray that it stays the weekend forever!
Enjoy ‘Take That’ tomorrow night Girlies! Spit on Gary from Me!
You know it people! It seems that Summertime has finally arrived in Ireland for 2009! Woo Hoo! The fab weather puts everyone in a great mood. The mere thought of being able to wear short sleeved tops is enough to start little hairs bristling with anticipation up and down the neck of everyone on this fair Isle! And this is such a great song to describe that feeling!
And you know what Summer means? It means ducking out of work early, especially on Fridays. It means sunny, outdoor beers and if it’s only Tuesday, no one cares. It means smiley faces, heads full of plans to enjoy a few days away from work. People will randonly smile at you while saying things like ‘Grand day, isn’t it!’
You also get the lobster look unfortunately. It’s very common here and not a great look, especially 12hrs after the first proper ray of sunshine. You often wonder if anyone in Ireland has ever heard of sunscreen but there always seems to be some nicely tanned specimen in shorts nearby to have a gawk at through your sunnies [so as not to be caught!], so we’ll let that one go.
Sitting on the grass in the park, ice lolly in hand. Walking instead of taking the bus. Dogs and frisbees. Laughing off getting sprayed with a garden hose and laughing more at the ridiculous straw hat the guy you used to fancy is wearing.
Smile! It’s sunny! There’ll be a few showers along the way but the sun will always come back!
This song has been in my head all week. There’s always some song in my head, yours too I’ll bet. But I just thought it a bit weird that this little jingly, stacato number kept jumping quickly into my thoughts and then softly fading out again a while later.
It’s like I’ve been on a bit of a time out for the past few weeks. I’ve just been doing what I wanted to do with little or no regard for others – now, that’s not to say what I’ve been up to has been an entirely selfish me me me scenario. I just mean that I didn’t feel like I had to be certain places, had to do certain stuff mainly cos I’m back to just making decisions for myself. Now normally, it’s not like I’m some subservient M to someone else’s S or this meek person that needs someone else to organise my life for me, there’s no lap dog antics here and on the flip side, I’m no complete bossy beeatch that spends 24/7 handing out orders as some ‘She who must be obeyed’ type either. It’s just that things have changed a bit in the last few weeks and well, I’m quite happy about the way things are!
I’m not sure you get what I mean. But, for those of you in work that can’t turn up the sound, the lyrics are along the lines of;
‘It’s oh so quiet.. you’re all alone.. and so peaceful until.. you fall in love ‘- this is the bit with all the crashing sounds, the upbeat dancing that starts to fade after a bit.. ‘then it’s over.. it’s nice and quiet..’ ….. until it all starts up again, things happen in a blur but burn and crash again just as quickly, so ‘what’s the use? in falling in love’.
I LOOOVE this Ting Tings song! There is no way it’s humanly possible notto react with a bit of toe tappin’, a bit of head bobbin’ and sure while you’re at it, chances are you’ll actually end up cheerleading across the sitting room in McSmile’s, like I do. Ok, you don’t have the address to McSmile’s place, so we may not actually vie for space in that particular sitting room, but you know what I mean! I’m allowing myself to say that its it’s very Gwen Stefani/ Hollaback-edness that is the crucial bit. And apologies if I’ve ever stamped on your foot while marching and swinging my arms around to that particular tune. Ahem.
So there I was, earlier this week.. asking no one in particular what my name was.. and another song came to mind and I found myself singing the Ting Tings words yet with the guitar from this song! Have I gone mad? Is there not quite a similarity in places? Maybe there is, but just in my head? See what you think…
* BTW, I’m taking no responsibility for the fact that numerous people might be too young to know what the hell I’m talking about.
Sooner or later this song was going to make it to the ‘Friday Feeling’ list! It’s just so 80’s at least half these clothes must’ve come back in fashion a couple of times by now [and a lot of them are soo Spring '09!]. It’s always a classic when the boys from the hood invade the preppy/ nerdy party. And the girls! How much hairspray did it take to make that video? The lace tights, the short dresses… ah! Takes me back! Enjoy. And party your ass off this weekend!
Oooo I do love trying out a new make up brand! I was vey, vey excited a few months back when I heard that Illamasqua was launching in BT2. Illamasqua is make up that’s definitely not for the faint hearted! It’s for girls [and brave boys!] who love a bit of drama, something a bit [...]
Fizzy died at home yesterday. She was nearly 13 – a great age! Last Friday Fizzy wasn’t at all well and very quickly became quite weak. Our vet couldn’t diagnose exactly what the problem was there and then, prescribed some medication and wanted to see her again within a few days. Fizzy ate a little [...]
I got into the taxi and sighed with relief. I had been almost in pain trying to keep my face from scowling over the past few hours and there was also the fact that I was absolutely starving – I had just been at ‘The Meal from Hell’. Pretentious overpriced food, combined with snooty yet [...]
‘Excuse me, do you have these in a size 6?’ ‘Oh.. well, ok then, I’ll try the 5 if that’s all you have. I’ve a few pairs of shoes from this brand and a 5 was grand before.’ So starts My Summer Sandal Saga. I wanted needed a new pair of sandals a few months ago. I’m [...]
Ooooooo-oooo I gave you my heaaaa-aarrtttt. Dont go breakin’ my.. don’t go breakin’ my.. Don’t go breakin my hear-ah-art. Oh don’t be silly! This isn’t a downcast Friday Feeling song! I’m not languishing under a pile of Jelly Snakes and copies of Cosmo looking for some inspiration or should that be aspiration? Anyw […]
Oh I do like a nice military jacket! I have to say, it’s one of my favourite looks – sharp, edgy jacket with skinny jeans and boots with a heel just begs for a ‘I know I look great’ attitude. Back when I was a teenager in 1842 and not exactly living near Camden Market or [...]
Everything I own is my stuff.. right?Just stuff I own. It’s my stuff, not anyone else’s and if I choose to actually put tacky fridge magnets from the town of my parents last holiday destination on display, well, I can stick them wherever I want to! And although it’s gone way beyond a joke at this [...]
… that I’ve been fairly crap at updating Glitter See Glitter Do over the past fornight or so. I know! I’ve been really lax. See the thing is, that when I moved into my new place, it seemed that every day there was something I was trying to track down. If it wasn’t a lightshade [...]
… a FULL update and proper introduction to The Tinys when they arrive. And once they get their mani pedis and decide between the Louis Vuitton Feline Throw and the more recession friendly Cath Kidson ginham one [hey, they still have standards!] to place their very pampered bottoms on, they’ll be ready for their photoshoot.. hopefully. Now, as a [ […]
I’ve moved into my new apartment. I’ve nearly unpacked everything – there’s one large suitcase of clothes still in the bathroom of all places and there’s a small suitcase of ’stuff’ that needs to be organised into drawers of ‘kinda important, will keep’, ‘not that important, might throw out’ a […]
