Some of my favorite TGIF's are: This Grandma is Foxy, The Gifted In Fremont, Thank God I'm Fresh, That Girl is Fat, That Girl Is Funny, That Guy Is Fresh, Thank God I'm Finished, Ahhh...

All the leaves are brown.

"And the sky is gray. I've been for a walk. On a winter's day." If these words spark a memory of a past road trip, or a starred Spotify selection, than you are likely very familiar with The Mamas and the Papas, and their hit song "California Dreamin'". The lyrics of the song express the longing for the warmth of California during a cold winter, which I feel many of us (especially us Seattleites) can relate to. Bring the song back to life with your Read more [...]
