I was scrolling through my phone last night, and I saw a short of Mariah Carey singing “My All.” Of course I had to click on it, and then I stopped halfway through because it was a live video and it wasn’t that great of a performance so I decided to wait until I got into bed so I could give it justice as I listened!

I was a Sophomore in high school again, and I liked thinking about that! I still know all of the words, but I no longer can sing them. I’ll just put the video here:

I am half done with ‘go-time’ for this month. Hair is cut. I am exhausted! We stopped and gassed up the van, and my Mom is taking it back right now. As I was sitting in the gas station, I heard this song and was back in college. Undergrad at U of M!:

I saw this short not too long ago:

When I saw that tour announcement, that really hit me hard I clearly remember when he was going to play at Saint Andrews hall in Detroit. It was the night before my second year teaching started, I would just need to report before the students came, but back then, I took it so seriously, so I did NOT see Gavin!

He released another album while we were living in our second apartment. I remained a huge fan and he got more successful. I didn’t get to see him until Sean and I were living in our house and I went with my cousinT, Shannon:

That was the last concert I attended! I immediately thought of that day when I saw Gavin DeGraw tour announcement. He was the second act and while Maroon 5 was playing, I went to the restroom. It was at DTE energy music theater! The restroom was extremely hot!!! Luckily, I was able to get myself out of the stall by myself, even though my cousinT offered to help!

I posted this short a few days later, and tagged my cousinT in that post:

I clearly remember the conversation we had when we came out of the restroom, and Gavin Degraw started singing!!!:

But that is how my brain thinks now. I’m just living in my memories ! Even though, as the years go by the memories become more distant and a little hazy but I appreciate thinking about that, and prefer that then thanking about my current existence…

I was watching the second half of the Hallmark movie with Meghan Markle and it and I heard a commercial with this song. I don’t even know what the commercial was about because I wasn’t looking at the TV so I don’t know what they were selling, but I liked hearing this song! It took me way back to our second department and the summer of Tim Bits!:

I was kind of sad to hear that Sinead O’Connor died and I pulled up her, “I Don’t Want What I Haven’t Got.” album. Once the album started playing, I was taken back to being eight years old when my brother, Steve, who slept in the room beneath me, would listen to that album and I heard it through the floor.

I pulled it up on Wednesday evening, and was completely surprised that I STILL knew all of the words! I started to cry!

I remember that a few years after he left for college and he had started a career. I was in high school and drove to Dearborn Music and bought the used cd! I’ve listened to this album a few times and I think that this has always been my favorite song of the album:

I am sitting here going through my Target and Amazon lists that I’ve already put in my carts because tomorrow I get paid and it is “Go Time” but it is a more segmented ‘go time’ this time because I don’t have my optometrist appointment until monday. Even though I am getting my haircut tomorrow. I saw this commercial today and it put a whole chain of memories into my head!!!:

I remember writing on my blog about playing this song in my car as I was driving to my cousinT’s house. I’m pretty sure that album just came out. I have to get mentally prepared for “Go Time” otherwise I would post it right now but I’ll look for it maybe tomorrow…:

This song is playing in my head even though rain makes me feel terrible because I’ve never had MS this long and this is A LOT!!!:
