Eurovision, Books, Yarn and Me

  So since I last wrote, I've discovered the Eurovision Song Contest. I love good music and when I find it, I like to share.

  First, let me say Jamala, congrats on winning this year's contest with your beautiful song "1944".
    Secondly, Congrats Dami Im for coming in second with another beautiful song.

  After I checked out this year's participants, I started looking at some of the past acts and found this lovely gem. Her name is Loreen and she was Sweden's gift to us music lovers.
  In other news, I have passed my reading goal of four books this year. I really need to give a shout out to Kimberley Franks. Kimberley, I was an honor to read your delightful novel,"Ruby with the Emerald Eyes". I wish you the best in the years to come.
  I'm currently working on reading another book I hope to review soon. You can find my review(s) at onlinebookclub.org. My name there is Yafa1822.
  After making a nice warm scarf for my brother, I started making a blanket. As in, actually knitting a blanket. 3 years ago, I'd not believe I could do is. Now, here I am, knitting away with my not so little loom. I 'm spending time thinking about yarn and what type I can use to make various things. This is very new to me.
  Other than that, I'm good. Just getting ready to be broiled out side this summer. I have a feeling it's going to be a humdingger of a summer this year. And I'm only talking about the weather here, not politics. And I'm not going to tell any of you how I think the election season is going. That's a mess I want no part of.

The drama builds

I am HOOKED on Russian Drama. Honestly. I don't think I will ever watch American shows again! To give you a taste of what I've gotten myself addicted to, look below:


This is only one of the many (and I mean MANY) shows I've watched so far. Let me know if any of you get hooked!

Normal day

Getting ready to play some music that might just manage to fully wake me up.


Hmm, I think I'm up now. Gotta love Royal Tailor. I might be the slowest person on earth since I, like, just found them yesterday. I know, I know, how could I not have known there was this BEAUTIFUL music in the world? I honestly don't know.

Things be happenin'

Well, First off, I got my first story up on Wattpad! YAY!!!!! I'm so excited. It's called "Letters from Madge" and you can read it by clicking the link below. http://www.wattpad.com/story/59955922-letters-from-madge
 Hopefully I can get it all up there.
In other news, here is what I am listening to as I write. I really do like how The Piano Guys blend Classical and modern pop music.
  Well, that's it for now. Please let me know how you like my story (or my music taste, for that matter).

Yo-yo weather

I don't know whether we're having spring, winter or some strange mix of both. One day I'm sporting a sweater, next day I'm bundled up so much all you can see is my eyes. I wish the weather wasn't so bipolar. It's getting harder and harder to plan my outfits ahead of time. On a different note, I guess I could discuss music as well. If there is a subject you think I should talk about, please leave a comment below.

Well, Hey!

I'm only going to talk books, food, period dramas, and maybe rant a little on life. I'm an aspiring writer who wishes to remain anonymous. I tend to be "gently" blunt (if you know what that means, power to ya, I don't) so just know I say what I feel and it might not be what you like. Hope you enjoy the ride! By the way, I love cheesecake
