Song of the Month:

Tattoo by Hunter Hayes

Hunter Hayes is one of my favorite singers and this song is in my top 3 favorite songs from this album! I'm happy that it's now his newest single! :)

What Happened Last Month and What's Going on Now:
The 4th of July was fun! Went to an event in town and then watched the Macy's special that night! And my Birthday was last month! I'm now 19! It was very good Birthday! :) And I wanted to thank everyone again for all the Birthday wishes, you all are awesome people! :) Last month was busy, but I did get a few good books read, despite not having a lot of free time. This month looks to be a little less busy, hoping to get ahead on everything before Fall gets here, which is probably the busiest time of year for me. (Except for December!) I hope you all had a good July! :)

What was your July like? :)

Song of the Month:

Let it Go by Idina Menzel from Frozen

I had this as a Marvelous Musical Friday pick one week, but I had to mention it again! Love this song and this movie a lot! :)

What Happened Last Month and What's Going on Now:
Um, I don't totally remember everything that happened last month, just that it went by very fast! I watched Frozen in the theater for the first time last month and became a major fan of it! My parents bought the DVD for me and I then watched it another 500 times (I'm kidding. Just 200. (; )! I may have gone on a Manga binge rereading my favorite series again. I launched a new blog feature (Listed above!) that I'm happy with, being a fan of lists and all that! I reorganized my bookshelves. (Thinking of doing a bookshelf tour, would any of you be interested in that?) I found a few new craft blogs finally! I'm thinking of beginning a craft blog (Don't know yet!) And besides a lot of boring things that are probably only interesting to me, that I'm not going to list here (Because the things I already listed are fascinating to you all. They are fascinating, right? (; ) that's my March in a post! :)

How was March for all of you? Anything fun planned for April? :)

Song of the Month:

(Besides all of the ones I listed on Marvelous Musical Friday, this was a song that I played a lot last month, too!)

I've listened to Rascal Flatts for years, my Mom loves them, too! It was fun to hear a new song from them! :)

What Happened Last Month and What's Going on Now:
Uh, what did happen last month? After New Years everything went into a little bit of a blur, but I did get to have a lot of fun, too! I got VERY good news last month that let me stop stressing about a thing that had been worrying me for months! I'm really proud of myself that I managed to get all the posts up that I wanted to last month! I got a good number of them up! :) This month I'm looking forward to Valentines Day! (I love all the decorations, and the food! (:) And I'm enjoying the Olympics, too! (Especially Snowboarding and Figure Skating! (:)

How did January go for all of you?! Did you have fun, too?! :)
