It started out as a feeling. Which grew into a hope….. (Music/Mute Monday)

Music Monday-
Regina Spektor- The Call
This is the theme song to Narnia- Prince Caspian. I fell in love with the song in the theater, but was elated to find out it was sung by Regina Spektor. She rocks. As I have mentioned before, I was turned on to her by Stealth and became a *huge* fan of Spektors…..

Mute Monday- Different Strokes
OMG this was difficult for me! Gah. BUT this is what I came up with…..
(did you know motorcycles have engines that have different strokes? Don’t ask me to explain, I just know they do, lol)
The Vespa through time….

Very. (very). Short recap.
*Took kiddos to see Narnia- Prince Caspian. PC didn’t care for it much. The kids and I really enjoyed it. A bit difficult to follow. Not how I would have liked it to end. But good movie.
*PC headed out of town for business. *sigh* I miss him so much when he’s gone. At least he had a good send off. *wink wink* Hey! I was talking about when he realized I was awake and ran inside to snuggle with me one last time before he left. (ok…I was talking about the other thing too….doh! lol)
*The kiddos and I went to the zoo. Our first time this year. We had SUCH a good time. The weather was actually consistently NICE. We meandered around, spending time wherever the kiddos wanted, drinking lemonade and snacking on cotton candy/icecream. It was cool. I totally love our zoo. It’s one of our favorite things to do together.
*LP wanted me to take her to the outdoor mall near our house to spend her money from her piggy bank that was burning a hole in her pocket. So what the hell, took her. She bought some quality crap stuff. Let. me. tell. YOU. ;)
So yeah. There you have it.
Enjoy your Monday.

The vintage pics are great. I didn’t realize the Vespa was around that long.
Happy MM!

I love your MM pictures, those are great. I love going to the zoo too. I love animals. =D I sent you an e-mail for TFT. Let me know if you got it though. I was having issues with Gmail. =/ Happy Monday!

LMAO… And I get this one! Great take on the theme.
Havent seen Prince Caspian. It was one of my favourite books as a child so Im a bit trepidatious as to what they will have done with it.

These are great! Who knew it had been around that long…Happy MM!

Nope. I didn’t really care for the movie. But I enjoyed being out with the family. And I was very glad you appeared in the window before I drove off. It was definitely worth coming back in to say goodbye one more time.
I love you and miss you very much.

Yep – 2 stoke and 4 stroke, lol. Great pix – love the last one of JJ.

Notice how the adverising has changed over the years. Great pics and an original take on the theme.
Happy Mute Monday!

I went and saw Prince Caspian too and was so excited at the end to find out that Regina Spektor was singing it! I knew it the minute I heart it. I love her. I’ve not been able to find the song to download though! grr!!
BunnyMay 19th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Great take on the theme! I used to have a 2-stroke snowblower. Hated that MF. You had to mix oil and gas in just the proper ratio to run the damn thing. HATED. IT. I prefer to just dump in gas and go. (Or watch someone else shovel or blow the snow. That’s the best way.)
I read all the Narnia books as a kid and am a little nervous to see the movies. I have such wonderful memories of the books.
VixenMay 19th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Moi- thanks! This was a tough one for me but last minute I came up with the idea :)
VixenMay 19th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Bunny and Havingmycake- this is one of those movies that I would prob skip. I think except in two circumstances I enjoyed movies as much as the book they were made from. And I can guarantee you this is not one of them. Just my two cents.
VixenMay 19th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Kel- Me too!!! I *heart* her. The song is brand new. I even had a hard time finding a YouTube for it. I checked her myspace too and it’s not available there either. Give it a wk or so and it might be. Although I have noticed her stuff is less readily available. Hmmm…..
KelMay 20th, 2008 at 7:43 am
That’s true, she’s not really mainstream. I’ll keep on the lookout. :)
mamatulipMay 20th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
I love the picture of the guy driving the Vespa and his woman like, sitting on the rear of it. LOL!

I’m saving up for a Vespa (or comparable scooter) here. Getting up to 90 m.p.g. is even sexier than some of the pictured ladies above nowadays.
