Gritty OR “That’s a Great Song!”


This morning, I forgot to put my chapstick on as liberally as I do every day because my Mom was kind of making fun of me.

After I had my cinnamon, I rubbed my lips together, and they were gritty! I put more chapstick on, and then there was cinnamon all over it! My Mom offered to wipe it off, but I just shrugged and said, “Eventually, it’ll go away.”

I told my Mom that my lips feel gritty, and I told her that this song popped into my head, and I said, “Hot down summer in the city, back of my neck, feeling dirty and gritty” I was reminded of sitting in the backseat of my Mom’s station wagon with my cousinT Shannon and my friend Heather and we were all singing along!

My Mom said, “That’s a great song!” I told my Mom that we had listened to that song so much so apparently she liked it!

Grey Sky Morning

I finished all of my Christmas puzzles, and even the puzzles that were just winter scenes. But it is so cold outside, I wanted to get a winterscape puzzle and I could not find one and I didn’t like that! But then I saw one yesterday!!!

I I started completing it, and this song popped into my head and this actual video which I’ve never seen this movie or show before, but I think I would like it!:

And here’s the puzzle:

Oops! That was the video again but here is the puzzle:

And I completed the puzzle:

And you can see that my sleep schedule is totally messed up because I didn’t fall asleep last night until 6 o’clock this morning. #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…

More Able-Bodied Then…

Today was ‘go time.’ My Mom is taking the van back as we speak. Sean took her. We accomplished everything today, and I am exhausted! The whole time that she was getting my vitamins and stopping at City Hall to get our tax information, I kept hearing this song in my head!:

Sara remind me of springtime in our second apartment. I have no idea why that song came to my head today but I listened to it before my Mom got home.

Currently, I am listening to my Snow Patrol playlist because it is freezing outside!!! Snow Patrol reminds me of winter in my second apartment. I was more able-bodied than….

A Castle for Christmas

Full Disclosure: My Christmas tree is still up.

But Jesus isn’t getting baptized until Sunday so I have a little bit of time I think.

My Mom told me she was going to take the lights and the star down today, last night; but she didn’t and so I told her we should watch A Castle for Christmas again!:

I wanted to hear that Kelly Clarkson song again, and a Scottish Christmas is close enough to Irish! At least that’s what I say because I am Mexican. Sorry to cause any offense:

Until my Christmas trees down, or at least, until next Sunday, I’ll still be rockin’ the Christmas music and that totally goes against everything I believe in but everything stinks now, so it doesn’t matter:

I was 5?!!!!

I had tagged all four of my brothers a few days ago because I thought I would tag them with my post about this song. If you grew up at 6020 Appoline, we know this song. I was five when it came out. I had just turned five. But Facebook is weird and I could not share it with me tagging them so I’m just going to write it in a blog post:

I was going to share this video about the song that we sang often at 6020! In my defense, I was only five years old, I was going along with everyone else. I never knew what this song was about before. It’s sobering:

I am an adult now, and I am 42 years old so I won’t even begin to tell you what my brother used to sing, I am a lady! But seeing this made me laugh…A LOT!!!

January 2025 Faves

i’ve already posted my annual i2 YouTube video for New Year’s Day and I have said previously that January will be Maroon 5 but I was missing Barwis recently and I HAVE TO listen to these first. Jesse:

And then there’s Phil:

And Michael:

But I have been preemptively listening to Maroon 5. Just the first two albums when they were quality and when I found out that Adam Levine is totally a musician when I saw him live at the Palace when I first saw Sara Bareilles!:
