Secret Guilty Pleasure

Today is laundry day.  I love to listen to my music when I put the laundry away.  Yes, I sing and dance while folding/hanging our clean clothes.  What - it's fun!

The other night I was on youtube and I came across the full album 12 Inches of Snow by Snow (you remember "Informer"...right?)  So, that is what I am jamming to right now.  My favorite song on the album is Lady with the Red Dress.

LOL, totally reminds me of high school.  This is my confession here, love this album.  Can't understand a dang word but I enjoyed it back then and I think it is pretty awesome listening to it now.

This is what I am talking about with technology these days.  I can get to all my favorite songs on my phone, my computer, my laptop, all under my amazon account and my google account.  Which means I can listen to everything in my car, walking on the treadmill or while doing the laundry!  And I am just starting to understand the fascination with youtube.  C'mon, I just found a way to listen to this album from '92-'93.  Then when it's over, I watch the video for Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do", which is my current song obsession.

Most times, when listening to music it either a) brings up memories, b) sets the mood for the rest of the day or c) inspires an idea for a story, or scene in a story I am working on.  12 inches of snow, does none of that but it does make me dance around.

Well, ok, it does remind me of my younger self listening to my headphones on the down low - ahhh, memory lane.  What does music do for you?  Any songs or albums your ashamed to admit you love?

Starting Over

Hello!  Welcome to my new blog!  I have tried my hand at this before and it didn't work out the way I wanted.  I love the idea of a blog, or journaling my thoughts.  My mind races at any given time, and this seems the perfect outlet for my many moods and ideas.  I am intrigued about the idea of putting my thoughts out there for anyone to read and comment on.

I find the internet helpful and addicting.  You can search for anything at any given time.  There's no judgement and you can learn so much, find so many things.  I, for one, am constantly looking for new recipes to try, listening to music, scrolling facebook, entering contests, keeping up with my favorite authors, oh my gosh, so many things.  My most favorite is taking pictures of my kids.  And to think, once I do...the pics are uploaded to my cloud and all of the sudden I can post and share how awesome they are.

Well, I hope that you will find my thoughts and observations interesting and that you will keep in touch.  I don't mind putting myself out there and I would love to learn more about you.  I will share my story ideas, my personal life, new recipes I try and all crazy kinds of things with you.  Maybe you will have some similiar stories to share.

Here's to new friendships!
