Music makes the world go round !

Hey peeps, hope you had a great weekend. Today the sun is shining, things are moving along with my work and I am a bit more happy than usual. Must have been the extra iced coffee that I just got on lunch !

I love music. I have very eclectic taste in it. I really love all genres of it besides hard core metal. I love oldies, Big Band, Alternative, Pop, hip hop, reggae, dance, Indie, yep and even country. I narrowed it down a top four that are my favorites. Wanna know? Yep thought so.

In no particular order.

Dave Matthews Band

My favorite song : Jimi Thing, with lyrics like " What I want is what I've not got, But what I need is all around me, Reaching searching never stop " how could you not think they are genius !

I can honestly say there is not one song by this band that I do not like. I've seen them 5 times in concert and loved it every time. The best was in Central Park. What a magical evening it was !

Bjork

Too many favorite songs but these lyrics from "One Day" really stick to me.

One day, it will happen
One day, it will all come true.

One day, when you're ready
One day, when you're up to it.

The atmosphere
Will get lighter
And two suns ready
To shine just for you
I can feel it, I can feel it.

Ella Fitzgerald

This lady has a set of pipes on her. Love her smooth romantic sounds to pieces. I love the version she does of "Mack the Knife," she forgets the lyrics mid way through and ad libs. So amazing !

And Led Zeppelin

.

When I was little my sister Dawn would babysit me a lot. Led Zeppelin will always remind me of her. Zeppelin, Ozzy and freestyle were the soundtrack to my childhood.

My favorite song : "Fool in the rain" Specifically listening to it in loud volumes. Amazing.

Who is your favorite?

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

My pregnancy and birth story

As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight. Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of...

Family

I began to write a posting on July 17, before we knew what God had planned for our sweet Kim.... Kim was taken home that evening to heaven. My entire family is in shock. As I am writing this, tears are running down my face.... Please sweet Jesus watch over Kim, she is safe now with you and is in no pain. Please watch over our family, heal our hearts as we keep Kim alive within ourselves.: "I don't have a very large extended family. Some may think it is, but in reality, it's truly not. I have a few aunts, a few uncles and a few cousins. Most live in different states and many times, communication is sparse. But we are all bonded, in an unspoken way. When one of us is in need, we all speak up and rally. My cousin Kim lives in North Carolina. I have not seen her in "real life" in many years. Maybe the last time was my wedding ? ! But we keep up on each others lives via Facebook. When she recently visited my mom, I was able to see her via Facetime.... Love techno...
