Day 11 -- Put Your IPOD on Shuffle and List the Ten Songs that Come Up First

I was really excited about this challenge.  A couple of weeks ago, when KayeLynn was home, she needed to find something from her "baby box".  When they were little, I got boxes to put in anything of memorial significance in.  Like their hospital bracelets from when they were born, report cards - - stuff like that.  Each of my kids have one and they are all still at my house.  Well, her box was under the stairs - and we had to dig it out.  Ted insisted the only stuff under the stairs was KayeLynn's stuff - but, low and behold, there was a bunch of other stuff.  Including all the Disney and other kids VHS movies, a bunch of Ted's movies and a whole lot of CD's.  So we went through the CD's and I took out what I wanted and ripped them to my IPOD.  It's kind of funny the different phases the CD's represented.  So - here goes my list of songs:


1 - A Boy Named Sue - - Johnny Cash  (went through a big Johnny Cash phase after Walk the Line with Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix).

2 - Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me - - Elton John (I have always adored Elton - - I wanted to marry him when I was a tween - -still love his music)

3 - Let Me Be There - Olivia Newton John (another childhood adoration)

4 - Have a Little Faith in Me - Jewel from the Phenomenon soundtrack (love the song)

5 - Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac (first 45 I ever bought!!  I am sorry if you are so young you have no clue what I am talking about)

6 - You Wouldn't Know Love - Cher (I didn't even know I owned this CD until I went through them.  Couldn't remember buying it)

7 - Cheers to the Freakin' Weekend - Rhianna (lovin' me some Rhianna - - don't let the basatads get ya down)

8 - Folsom Prison Blues - Joaquin Phoenix from the Walk the Line soundtrack

9 - Rock This Country - Shania Twain (went through a BIG country music phase.  This was actually Crystal's CD I think - - I just ended up with it in my box of CD's)

10 - Scarborough Fair - Simon and Garfunkel (from my growin' up years - my sister had their Greatest Hits album and I used to listen to it all the time  - so I bought the CD when I was an old lady).

    Those are some good ones. Although I'm not so sure about Olivia Newton John. I love Jhonny Cash Though.

      Olivia Newton John is from my tween years. She was HOT back then, beaucoup HOT!! And, I found Cher a bit odd, too. But she has some great tunes for when you're working out.

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

First Date - - End of an Era!

It's no secret that Ted and I met on the internet. We jibbered and jabbered via Match.Com a few times and then he sent me his phone number. We won't go into details about what made me give him a call, other than I was in need of a boost. I gave him a call and he was "busy" for a bit working on his carbuerator (yes, I was shunned aside for a carbuerator) and he asked if he could call me back later. Well, he did call me later that night and we made arrangements to meet at Denny's on 3500 South and 2200 West the next afternoon. No, it wasn't a four-star restaurant, but it was a way for either of us to run or make excuses if things were not going well. We sat there for a few hours; I drank Diet Coke and Ted drank Iced Tea. We talked, mostly Ted talked, about stuff I had absolutely no clue about; I tease him a lot about everything he says pretty much floats above my head, because I have no idea what he is talking about. That was October 10, 2004. After a w
