Blue Moon


 

Every few years, there is a month with two full moons.  One of those times is now and it's called a blue moon, even though it's just regular colored.  Which is a little disappointing to someone like me who is kind of literal.  But, it's a good time to appreciate all the good things in life that only happen rarely,  like getting to spend time with my friend J who lives in Amsterdam.  Or getting to spend time with HH's cousins.  Or when Project Runway doesn't kick anyone off.  Or a weekend when school's in session when I don't have papers to grade over the weekend! Whoo hoo!

Have a wonderful and hopefully long weekend, everyone!

    I didn't even realise it was a blue moon but I have noticed the weridos have been out & about, they're lunatics for a reason!

    I love that song! ahhhh. Just in time for my anniversary next week. Thanks for reminding me. I swear we always forget it. You look lovely in that electric blue dress. Those primary colors do something for you!

  7. I'm so embarrassed to admit that I went outside last night and looked literally for a blue moon. Oye!!
    Also cracking up about you being excited about no one getting kicked off of Project Runway. Yeah, Lord and Taylor!
    Something rare....oh, let's see...actually doing blogging stuff. That's been super rare (almost endangered, in fact!) with school. Hope you're enjoying your weekend! Amanda

  9. Pretty blue dress! I too was kind of disappointed that the blue moon wasn't in a literal sense!

    I'm enjoying a rare evening out with my hubby - at a nicer place than usual, I guess that would be the rare part!

  12. You look beyond lovely in blue. Such a gorgeous color on you. And I've always wondered why those moons were called blue moons. I guess I should look that up...

    Project Runway! I really disliked Gunnar at the beginning of the season, but lately he's been lovely so I was so sad when I thought they were going to kick him off. His dress was cute, even if expected. So happy they kept everyone, 'cause I like Alicia a lot too!

  13. I too tend to take phrases like this literarlly...or at least ponder where the phrase originated. You're looking lovely in your blue. Like you, I don't yet have papers to grade...but we did shop for appliances today. Success.

  17. Is a blue moon and a harvest moon the same thing? I don't think so, but I love harvest moons because they look so huge.
