When I think of Abba I think of a little suburb of Chicago (pronounced shee kah goe – lol!), my cousin, two part inventions by bach, the amtrak train, and cashews.

When I think of Stevie Nicks I think of my friend in highschool who was absolutely and incredibly beautiful but had no idea how beautiful she was – which made her even that more beautiful – if you know what I mean. I think of hardwood floors – and I think of her father – writing and grading papers on a huge thick wooden table in their living room. Their house was the sterotypical farm house – minus the animals – hard wood trim around every door and window and stairs that moaned out sad stories every time you walked on them. I loved that house.

When I think of TLC – I think of the song, “Ain’t too proud to beg” – and how fascinated I was with “Left-Eye” and that damn condom on her left eye promoting safe sex all the while singing provacative lyrics and dressing like some boy that hadn’t quite hit puberty yet.

I know of someone who has a record of songs that he has listened to every year of his existence – well – since he first learned of the power of music, I suppose – but still – that’s quite a bit of years, yes?

So here is my list for this year – the songs I’ve been listening to… ready?

Baba O’Riley – The Who
Leave (Get Out) – JoJo
IceBox
Annie’s Song – John Denver
Defy Gravity – Wicked Soundtrack
Man Eater – Nelly Furtado
Tell Me – Groove Theory
Heart of the matter – India Arie
Dance of the Arabians – Nutcracker Suite
That’s the way we like it…TLC
Seasons of Love – Rent Soundtrack
One of Us – Cheryl Pepsi-Riley

So far. There’s more – but these are the songs I will continually seek out on my play list – or hum to myself several times a day – or cry instantly as soon as the first few notes ring out…

Just thought I’d share.

Ok – I have to go. I am doing a walk tonight for an hour for cancer survivors/victims – and I need to put on my tennis shoes and get to stepping. I’m bringing along my pink baby ipod (courtesy of Mr. GSML) and will probably come across a few more songs that will be added to this list. Tomorrow is Sunday – and I have something very special to do – after I go to church with my family. I’ll be asking for forgiveness in case I do anything later … as well as probably asking for forgiveness for anything I do this evening. Believe it or not – much alcohol will be served at this little relay I’m participating in. My age seems to make me a target for many of my co-workers. Not that I mind – but I’m exhausted so drinking while underage and practically falling over from exhaustion wouldn’t be the wisest decision. But peer pressure is a bitch. I’m just saying. *wink*

Hopefully I’ll have some time tomorrow to tend to my other obligations (yes – that means pictures, boys…:) ) So yeah! Something to look forward to! And I’ll also be highlighting a few of my calls from over this weekend (like my offer of marriage! -Hi C – husband to be! *wink*-). Sorry I was coming and going and coming and going – I just … well… I just had lots of things on my plate this weekend! Anyways – I will be around for a bit Monday Morning (early early Monday, I think) so we’ll catch up then!

I better run.
Talk to you soon.
