    The movie trailer for Eat, Pray, Love has one of those stick with you kinds of songs playing in the background. Because I have finally (after nearly 3 years) picked up the book and started reading it again, and the song is rather catchy and because it does somewhat tie into yesterday’s post, I thought it quite ideal for it to be this week’s music snack.

    And so after a few tries at Google I found the title and artist of the illusive yet alluring movie trailer song. And so I give you:

    Florence + the Machine :: Dog Days Are Over

    So have you picked up on this whole, swirling, sprawling picture I’m painting? If so, you may have already guessed it – I did indeed just set you up for a few more posts down the line as future events unfold. *The wheels are always turnin’ here at The Sassy Steel Magnolia. The wheels are always turnin’. ;)

    Driving to work this morning it was cloudy, drizzly rain that would turn into larger rain spouts and back to drizzled mist. Looking out my office window, the conditions haven’t much improved as I believe the sun might be taking a day off here in the Lowcountry. I would rather be back home in bed but, such is life.

    Out of no where this song makes its way into the corners of my mind. I say corners because I couldn’t think of the song itself, only a few lyrics here and there and not even a full lyric at that. I searched when I got to work and immediately found what I had been trying to hum in the car. A perfect rainy day song for all of you to enjoy. And for those of you who aren’t watching the rain fall outside your window, keep this one in mind for when it does.

    Dear Daddy,

    The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was learn how to live without you.

    I love you Pops, happy Heaven day.

    love and hugs from your youngest,

    Jennie Boo

    *and I hope you are keeping up your end of the bargain, as we both know I’m trying my hardest to keep up with mine! ;)

    This week I called on my Sista Sista to provide a little Musical Snack inspiration for you all.  I’m rather exhausted and my mind is near mush-like status. I knew she wouldn’t let me {or you} down, so without further ado – I give you:

    Straight No Chaser – You’re My Best Friend

    (if you have trouble viewing this video, please click here)

    It’s been quite the week for Ms. Jennie B and this song is just what I needed to hear to help me get through my first day back in Charleston { and back at the office!}.  I’ll catch you kids up in tomorrow’s post — and of course announce the charmed & dangerous give away winner!

    Happy Wednesday, lovies! Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Weekend!•besos•
