Whatcha Listening To?

So, music is fun!

I don't know if  y'all know this, but I LOVE music. LOVE. Like, LOVE music.

I honestly believe that the hours and hours I have spent in the car listening to music heightened my love. Every weekday morning, Daddy would have the oldies station (Fox97.1 for you Georgia people who remember it) on as me, my sister and brother all got dropped off for school. Because they are much older than me, Jay and Erin started to drive themselves, leaving me and Daddy. I love listening to those old songs. Sometimes I would ask for Star94, an alternative/pop station, but eventually, when I started to drive myself, I always had it on the oldies. Mama also helped this love by listening to Star94 occasionally. Actually, I remember her singing "Every Morning" by Sugar Ray. Oh yes. My MOTHER sang THAT song.

Anyway, I'm kinda on a kick tonight with the most recent songs I've added to my collection of iTunes.

And I wanted to share.

Feel lucky people. Just as Oprah doesn't give a car away everyday (anymore- RIP Oprah....not the lady, the show...I just felt like I should explain that. Or not, really, since I never really watched the show considering that I was doing better things with my life. Ok, enough.), I don't always share my lists of music. It's just too many songs.

But here's what keeps rotating on my iTunes (these are all YouTube):


Ray LaMontagne, Beg Steal or Borrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6a_1R3w5i4

Two Door Cinema Club, Something Good Can Work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxu02vp_Vm0

Peter Gabriel, Solsbury Hill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMwn_hnoS5Y

and of course, what playlist of mine would be complete without a little Coldplay?

Coldplay, Paradise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6ZWlDks0nQ



So that's what I got right now.... I wanted to add Thomas Newman and maybe a little John Coltrane, but I got lazy.

Music is fun.

So whatcha listening to?

PS- And I will accept Facebook comments, though it is sad to see "0 comments" under my post in the blog world. Just sayin'.

Well, Hello October...

...You snuck up on me!

I'm also pretty sure I just made that word up. Snuck. Sneaked? Snocked? Snuck just seems wrong.

Anyway, WELCOME OCTOBER!

I love fall.

SO anyway, I'm trying this thing where I'm trying to type without looking at the keyboard.

Here's how it's going: the quick dfon husdmd ober the from dog.

That was supposed to read: the quick fox jumped over the brown dog.

It's not going so well.

When typing an email at work of, oh, let's say three sentences, it takes me 5-10 minutes. And apparently, that is not a good thing? Like apparently, people are suppose to type faster than that? And APPARENTLY, pecking the letters like a chicken is not acceptable in normal society unless I'm over 70 and wasn't a secretary in the '50's. I can't be blamed for the fact that I missed that one semester of typing in seventh grade, DANG IT!

(Waves fists in air) WHHHYYYY CAN I NOT TYPE?! WWWHHYYY???


In other life tragedies, my purple toenail polish is coming off. I am sad.

To sum up this post:
-YAY FALL!
-Boo lack of typing skills.
-Sad loss of nail polish.
