I’m late to the last day of posting because Mike and I were out of town all weekend visiting my family. Gabriel’s cousin, Dominic, turned 1 this week and I just couldn’t miss seeing the little boys together! So sue me if I’m a day late. Anyhoo… I looked back in my iTunes purchased list...

I hesitate to put this song up because it is truly cringe-worthy. But hey, I’m all about self-deprecation on this blog. Once upon a time, I was insanely ga-ga over New Kids on the Block. I’m talking 3 concerts, bedroom walls PLASTERED with tear outs from Bop, Teen Beat, etc., pins lining my purse straps,...

I was a terrible person to Mike before we officially started dating… In college, I dated lots of boys—none of them worth mentioning. But poor Mike had the ill-fortune of getting swept up in my whirlwind of fickle womanhood. I didn’t know what I wanted out of relationships, I toyed with emotions, I teased. Yeah,...

I wish I had stuck with learning piano… My biggest problem is that I learn everything by ear and have rudimentary sight-reading skills for piano. It shouldn’t have been a problem for me, if I had taken the right style of lessons. (I hear Suzuki Method is totally the way to go for people like...

My choices for this day are fairly limited… I never took the time to learn how to play any instrument proficiently. I’ve dabbled in piano, flute and guitar but never got good at any of them. Singing has really been my only consistent musical outlet. That being said, I got a ukulele for Christmas and...

I heard this song a few months ago on the local college station and thought it was utterly ridiculous… But then a few days later, I found myself thinking about it and giggling. I played it for Mike and we just couldn’t stop listening to it. It’s sort of like a train wreck… The good...

Perhaps my selection for today is a bit of a copout, but I don’t really want to think about funeral music in general. Call me superstitious… So instead, I’m going a little tongue-in-cheek. A song you want played at your funeral Squirrel Nut Zippers “Hell” Hell by RavenTV

If we had to do it all over again, there are some things I would do differently, but music isn’t one of them. At our wedding, we had the most incredible DJ. He got the crowd dancing and played lots of great tunes and avoided all of our “banned” selections. I still get compliments on...

Slacker back-log post… man catching up is really hard! I had to replace both headlights on my car and that ate a lot of my time. :) I am so lucky to have had the wedding that I had, it was truely a wonderful gift and I still think of it fondly. Vanessa used the...

Again, slacker-back-log. I couldn’t find the version I have by the King’s Singers so I found this version instead. I find this song (the a cappella version) just completely inspiring. I was in my High school chorus, chamber choir and was in RIT’s Eight Beat Measure men’s Octet for 4 years. I really like A...
