WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK TO YOUR LIFE BE?

I’ve seen this Meme floating around, Dawn, Christina, Presbytera Elizabeth, and Hibee are among those who have played, and I thought I’d add my voice to the chorus. I have to send out a big whohoooo to Cedric who wrote down the songs as they came up on my car’s MP3 player, since that’s the playlist that most accurately reflects my tastes. Eddie also wrote down a couple, thanks babe.

I’ve been struck reading these how many are actually appropriate. Anyway, here goes:

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't Lie. This is Christina's suggestion, unless you really really hate the song (in which case why is it in your library eh), listen to each one all the way thru as it plays. You might just hear something interesting about yourself you weren't expecting.

My thoughts – isn’t it amazing that my very favorite song of all time came up first on the shuffle? That’s a good opening credit for me. And, the boys both commented on how much they like Veronica. And, bwahahahahahahahaha, since I was born in a town called Jackson, which seems particularly appropriate for birth, no?

So, play along, let me know if you did, I’d love to read yours.

A Sort of Homecoming

Saturday night, Cedric went to Homecoming with a lovely girl.

We went shopping at Macy's earlier in the day, picked out a nice slate grey shirt and black tie. I said, "wow, you are expensive" he said, "I didn't buy the shoes" Oh, uh, good point.

We went downtown to pick up the corsage - the florist (who we know - her kids have gone to school with Ced since elementary) did a ribbon instead of elastic for the wrist corsage. Is that not a great idea? And, the florist is next to a pie shop, so we of course treated ourselves
Eddie helped with the tie.

He looked fabulous




And, then, we dropped him off at the school where he met his girl, did the flower thing, and went inside to have a great time.
