Saw this on NieNie today.
So random. Worse than me (the random video, not NieNie, that is), and I can be quite random.
Not sure what "solid" potato salad is (as opposed to liquid, I guess?), nor am I sure what singing about potato salad has to do with weird and freaky acts of body contortionism, but hey, it's entertaining.
And I do love me some good ol' fashioned entertainment.

Kinda like What Not to Wear...
...but for blogs!
If you read my blog via Google Reader (or any other blog subscription service), be sure and click over to my actual blog page so you can see the MAKEOVER!
Just in time for spring, this ol' blog got a little makeover, courtesy of the talented Kathy. Be sure and check out her work. She took my ideas and really ran with them. Don't you love my new header?
Thanks, Kathy!

I {heart} Gungor.
Tonight I went to one of the COOLEST concerts I've ever been to, let alone the fact that it was a Christian music concert.
Thank goodness for blogs, specifically Shannon's awesome photography blog (otherwise I would have never known about this band). Thanks, Shannon!
And thank goodness for the fact that I was very spontaneous the day I read about these guys and went ahead and bought two tickets.
Seriously.
I am a FAN.
And you know me, I am not usually a big fan o' Christian music.
Too cheesy.
Too much in a bubble for me usually.
But Michael Gungor and his posse?
They've got it down.
Real good.
I can only describe this concert as this:
a little bit of
Pink Martini (you know, one of my most favorite bands evah) with their mini-orchestra thing they've got going on
cross it with
a little bit of Sting and his cool factor and smooth voice and jazz thrown in here and there for good measure
and mix it up with
maybe a little Cirque du Soleil as far as the cool orchestrations and harmonies that sound kind of like the coolest movie soundtrack music you've ever heard
and maybe spin in some
Sigor Ros or Sufjan Stevens
and blanket it in
ANTHROPOLOGIE, and no I am not kidding, the girls in the band (stringed instrument players and vocalists) looked like they walked straight out of an Anthro catalog
and a sprinkling of
poetry and multimedia video going on in the background
and a whole lot of awesome lyrics all about
God
and well, you had the concert.
Unfortunately I didn't get to stay for the whole thing. My mom ended up going with me due to the fact that my husband needed to finish up an important contract he was working on (she was supposed to be the babysitter), and since it was a bit on the loud side for her, we scooted out after about an hour and a half.
But seriously, I could've sat there for days.
So so so cool.
So cool.
Check 'em out for yourself. This first video very much describes what we experienced tonight.
And this video is clever and makes me smile:
And then go support them on iTunes. You won't be sorry.
In fact, you'll just be saying how grateful you are to read this quirky little blog o' mine because where else would you find out such amazingly random stuff?
You're welcome.
Did I mention how stinkin' cool it was?
Okay.
I'll shut up now.

"Glee" on TOUR?????
Are you kidding me?
{Sigh.} This is one of those times I lived in a big city. Those tickets are gold!

PTQB February block #4
Jessica created this awesome block for my quilt. I love how unique each of these are, and once they are all collectively in a quilt, I just don't know if I can handle all the cuteness! This quilt is shaping up to be one of my favorites ever! Thanks, Jessica.
