My Turntable

I feel like poop-on-a-stick this morning. Scratchy throat. Coughing all night. Not a lot of sleep. ::blahblahblah::

So what do I do? Revamp my blog page. Why not...I needed a brighter color. Plus I'm forcing myself to feel better. Kids will be home in T-Minus 5 hours and momma HAS to be on for them. They count on me and how incredibly lucky am I to be able to say that?! How is it I can have a yucky day, see them and BOOM...instant sunshine?! Love it.

Anyway...I decided to add a new tab to the left keeping track of the music I've been listening to lately. Of course, this will change a lot. It's just a way for me to have a quick link to this music. Most of it I've "Shazam'd" on my trusty iPhone and decided I'd look at the videos to see if I liked them also. I did. Except for the one of Basia. My favorite song she sings is "Time and Tide", but since I have that one in an earlier (like a year ago?) post, I picked another one by her which I also love. The song is beautiful. The video...well, it's not even a video. But I get to hear it whilst working. So there ya go.

Seal's "This Could Be Heaven" I heard in the car and when I got home searched on YouTube only to find out it was in one of my fave movies (The Family Man) and I didn't even realize it. Freaky.

Lady Gaga totally freaks me out, but her song "Telephone" makes me unconsciously dance. Plus it has Beyonce in it who I personally think is awesome! (Fellow Texas girl!).

"I Wish" by Point of Grace is a song I would write IF I could write songs. :-) Alas, I can't.

The others are frequently in my head also and I've Shazam'd them enough to tell me, "Might wanna download that one already, T." I should. I might. Probably not.

At least not today. Because...that's right...poop-on-a-stick.

At least I have my sweet, awesome, funny, dramatic, beautiful, would-do-anything-in-the-world-for-her daughter's 7th birthday tomorrow to look forward to. Her request? "Friday Night Family Night" (seriously...she calls it that). Which means Mexican food, listening to live music on the green (at a local shopping/dining/everything venue), dancing, playing...whatever she wants because she's going to be 7 and should be as happy as she can possibly be at this age. It's part of my job description. Keep 'em safe. Make 'em happy. Check and check.

Always remember and never forget: "Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
