Highlights from the soundtrack of my life.
I just referenced this song to Sean yesterday and I have not stopped thinking about it since then. I gave him a little context:
I was so shocked that this song came out just at the time I found out that I was pregnant with Sean. I had a completely different life back then! I guess that’s why I’ve been thinking about this song all day!!!:
After I told my Mom about my random memory of Mr. Dean’s wedding song, she started humming a song and I knew that I recognized it but I could not place it. After some discussion, we found out what song it was. I was thinking of it like this:
But she was thinking of it like this:
But the words were the same so we were singing the same thing but it’s so sad to me that I no longer can hold a tune like I used to be able to but my Mom didn’t care how it sounded. It was just fun to sing along with her and our late night sing-along!
Last night, before I brushed my teeth, I was reminded of this song. It was one of my favorite teacher’s wedding song my first year. I am reminded of Time magazine covers that lined his walls and I remembered this song got a lot of radio play. He told us that his girlfriend, fiancé, wife picked it.
Sonya, my head wound care nurse came back today and when she looked at my right foot, she said it was amazing! When I heard her say that, this song popped into my head so I guess that I am seriously turning a corner because my right foot does not hurt as badly and I can think about songs:
She told me that she wraps a lot of feet! But then she added, that not all feet are pretty like mine. I was shocked when she said that and I laughed. She told me that she has seen a lot of feet and a lot of them are dirty and she said that nine ‘clean’ and ‘dainty’ and that I have ‘pretty feet.’
So, let me expose myself here in this post and I will put myself on front Street. Here goes:
I have had MS for 21 years and I have been on disability for five because I am medically retired from teaching. With those two things in mind, you know get that much money on Social Security and MS it’s expensive!!! I’ve done pretty well navigating through needing to spend a whole lot of money and not having a whole lot of money to spend. I just got myself into a pickle and I don’t get paid until July 20.
I was sweating it out and then I decided to ask Sean because he works. So, I just asked for him to spot me some money and this was his response:
So, he re-downloaded Cash App to send me money and I texted him this once it was all taken care of:
I talked with him not too long after that and he told me that my text to him was the most “Gangster” he has ever gotten from me! I told him that I am an OG and I remember when that song was released. He just heard about it after the fact, decades even. I know that he is a fan so that’s why I sent it to him but I listened to it and they’re kind of talking about us but I have never been a crack fiend!!!:
I am so proud of the man that he is becoming!
I was talking to Sean tonight and he is the age where he thinks that 30 is old!?! I have passed that a decade ago! I laughed and it made me think of this song because it used to be one of my jams when I used to think that 30 was old:
Full disclosure, The day before yesterday, I listened to that song from Zoey 101‘s final episode twice The day before yesterday and once yesterday. I even watched my favorite part of the episode – of the series really!
I actually watched this video The day before yesterday as I was in bed and my Mom was washing my feet. I kept exclaiming that I couldn’t believe I was watching this but I was!
Now, it’s good that I have that song all cued up because it’s about time and listen to it again right now and think of my dark red wall in our second apartment.
This song is completely because of Sean. He texted me just:
I obliged and this was his response:
I have always loved that song especially when it was in the final episode of Zoey 101 but I think I’ll like this response even better because I have a core memory of showing this to Sean on my computer:
And here is the jam:
I am reminded of this time me and Sean went to the Plymouth (some kind of fair) with my cousinT Shannon and she snapped this picture from her apartment stairs:
I am not sure why I was driving my Parents’ car but look at me acting like I own it! That is something I do I guess!:
I don’t own that car either! I don’t even drive anymore. But these are the songs I am thinking about because I used to drive that white Blazer around in that picture, Sean is in the backseat and his car seat. This is what we were listening to:
I was wondering which song would be my quinceañera song! Oh my Mom gave me the answer last night! I laughed hysterically when she told me that!
We were talking about Sonya and the fact that she’s coming back tomorrow. I don’t remember what my Mom said or what we were talking about but somehow she asked me some thing and then said because that will put us under a lot of,”Pressure!“
I started to laugh and tried to sing the beat but I couldn’t because I was laughing too hard but here it is. I love this song!:
