Then I need to bake about
48 cupcakes. To freeze. For next weekend. (Memorial
Day Weekend in the U.S.ofA. We have at least four—possibly all five—of our kids and their
tribes coming for a couple of nights to celebrate—belatedly—My Sweet Hubby’s
[MSH] birthday.) I’m not The Baker/Pastry Chef in this family. That would be
TLC. But, since she has a newborn and a BUSY almost-4-year-old, I’ve decided I can do this. I CAN
DO THIS. Right?
SOOO…I’m going to listen
to my iPod (Yes--iPod!) and the songs on my iPhone—using my 12-year-old Bose speakers.
Clean and Bake and SING!!!
I thought I’d share some
(a fraction) of the songs I positively adore with Y’all! I truly believe you
should check them out on iTunes—if
you’re not familiar with them. (I have extremely good taste in music—just
sayin’…teeheehee. Well, okay. TLC may not always agree with this statement. Her
music? I occasionally have to plead with her: Please, TLC, in the name of all that is good, kind and decent, PLEASE
turn that off.)
I am a HUMONGOUS
Country Music Fan. As Y’all must know by now. I've shared, though, that I
love many genres of music. Christian. ROCK . Broadway. Pop. A little jazz (mostly when I'm in New Orleans). Some
classical. (Not much opera—although I do know every word to every song
from Phantom
of the Opera! Does that count at all?)
Here, now, are just a few
of the songs I’m going to rock out on, or cry to, this Sweet Saturday in North
Central Texas (these are all from my cell as I haven't dug my iPod out of my nightstand yet):
All of Me—John
Legend
Already Gone—Sugarland
Amazing Grace—Joey and Rory (Tears fall.
Every. Single. Time.)
Because He Lives (Amen)—Matt Maher
Better as a Memory—Kenny Chesney
Biscuits—Kacey
Musgraves (Little Leighton…aka
Biscuit…thinks this song is WONDERFUL. However, once she’s old enough to
understand the words? I will be explaining to her that we have to change some
of them. Oops. And now you're looking it up before you finish this post.)
Crazy Girl—Eli
Young Band
The Edge of Glory—Lada Gaga
He Thinks He’ll Keep Her—Mary Chapin Carpenter
Highway 20 Ride—Zac Brown Band
I Don’t Believe You—Pink
I Get to Love You—Ruelle
I Won’t Let Go—Rascal Flatts
Let It Go—Idina
Menzel (Did you catch the irony of this one and the one before it? Ha. And
DUH—Disney songs are played A LOT
now in my life...a heckuva lot…together with Sesame Street songs. This is the truth, as I cannot tell a lie: I cherish them all.)
Run—Matt
Nathanson (featuring Sugarland)
Someone Like You—Adele (Double Duh…)
The Story—Sara
Ramirez
Tell Your Heart to Beat Again—Danny Gokey (This
one could knock you to your knees. I suggest you Google the words. POWERFUL. I’d even tell you to
read up on his background.)
A Thousand Years—Christina Perri
Wake Me Up—Aloe
Blacc
10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) [Live]—Matt Redman
Hey—check a few of these
out! I think you’ll find several you’ll decide you MUST have in your own
personal Library of Tunes.
Happy Happy HAPPY Weekend, Silly
Friends Everywhere!
