Highlights from the soundtrack of my life.

My First…

I am so exhausted but I wanted to let you all know that I had a first yesterday. I wore my very first Matthew Stafford article of clothing!

I think that I ordered this shirt in April which is months after the Super Bowl so it was half off! I had to get it! I rocked it yesterday and I was so excited to show Sean that I am actually wearing a Matthew Stafford t-shirt. 😍😍😍

This van rental excursion for this month was a bust because I did NOT get my haircut and I did NOT go to my eye appointment but I still think it was productive! Once my hairdresser had to cancel my appointment for my wax and cut, my Mom was able to take the van and get her hair colored! I canceled my eye appointment to go to the emergency room which proved to be a good thing because I did not end up in the hospital!

I told my Mom when she commented on the look on my face this morning that she got an award but I got at least another month of excruciating pain!!! Yesterday when I told Sean that this is my first Matthew Stafford shirt, this song popped into my head because who doesn’t love some Barry?!:

I’m going to try to make another appointment for next month but I really can’t see that well now and I’m tired!!!

The MOST 1990s Scene!

Sean came over to be with Leia when he got out of work while we were at the emergency room. She is on steroids that are making her go pee a lot and we didn’t want to leave her in her cage.

We were at the emergency room for just about an hour and we had been seen by the doctor and he said that he didn’t Need to do anything further and we just need to keep doing what we’re doing. We picked up Panera on the way home for all of us.

Sean was watching basketball when I got into the house. We talked as we ate and then my Mom was going to take the van back. The NBA championship was on and we watched it. I told Sean that with my glasses on, I can see everything. That was not the case years ago when we watched basketball when he was in high school.

So, the Celtics are playing the Warriors and as I was talking with Sean this song came on that was playing in the stadium. I told Sean that it was the most 1990s scene!:

The Celtics and Montell Jordan?! And then a little while later, my 1990s scene was confirmed when I heard Pearl Jam:

The Celtics were on a streak in the beginning of the game but they did not sustain it and the Warriors won but I told Sean that if the Celtics won he would have to post this song and some social media site:

The Celtics did not win but it was really cool to remember this time in my young, Able-bodied life!

Rando Tune #9

I had a difficult day. And then it started to rain. I am so scared of how I am feeling and my feet hurt. But somehow, through all of this, this song is playing over and over in my head. I bought the tape single with my own money from Musicland at Fairlane Mall when I was 11. It’s crazy the random things that I remember but how I am feeling scares me and I wonder if this is the ‘last splash’?:

Rando Tune #8

I really have been thinking about my eclectic musical taste in high school. I just posted about music videos in the 90s. A friend posted this and I had to write about it!:

It was fun for me to think about my high school days! Things were so different back then! I wasn’t even diagnosed with MS until after high school. Just months after graduation.

So, thinking about all this old music, I am thinking of my Rando Tune #6 (makes me think of my Dad). I am not sure why I am hearing this song in my head and it kind of is embarrassing and I did not want to share music that I didn’t absolutely love on my blog but this one’s aim my head and I have to put in here because sleep was not an option last night. #MSsucks!!!:

6 Hours Ago…

So, six hours ago, a Facebook friend of mine posted this and I have not stopped thinking about it since she posted it:


Well Jackie: my first instinct was Missy Elliott:

But then I thought about Mase. I had a HUGE crush on him in high school!!!:

These two videos have scenes that one talk like an inside of a cheese grater but I didn’t comment it could have been this one as well, because it could!:

Man, I have loved late 90s rap!!!

Rando Tune #7

I thought of this song last night as I was starting to fall asleep and I started singing it in my head and I got all the way to, “ I wish I could scream out loud that I love you! I wish I could say to you don’t go! 😂😂😂

I looked it up and the album was released in 1993! I was 11 years old! I thought about the festival being put together under the overhang at Saint Alphonsus! For all of you who know, you know!

I think it is crazy that I remembered basically all of the words to a song from when I was 11 but don’t ask me to remember my passwords!!!

Rando Tune #6

Okay, let me start off by saying that I have never been a huge Christina Aguilera fan per se. But I got the most random song in my head yesterday and it took a moment for me to figure out what the song was and who sang it.

I was just hearing one line over and over in my head but I was able to retrieve this song and I watched the video for the first time today. I had never seen the video before but seeing in today made me miss my Dad something fierce!!!:

Rando Tune #4

I think that I am just thinking of songs to put on my blog to make me feel better because my feet are killing me! And my Mom too! But I haven’t posted a U2 song in a long time and it got me thinking about my first year teaching.

It is the fall of 2005, my first year teaching, and the first time I would administer the MEAP test. I remember making a really cool Road Runner poster that I probably still have in my basement somewhere and I had Word bubbles that said, “MEAP! MEAP!”

That poster didn’t come around until after a few years of administering that test But I clearly remember Mr. Astalos giving me a mixed CD of great songs to to prepare us for the stressful time that was going to come administering the MEAP test.

I am ashamed to say that this was the first time I heard this song what it was and I LOVED it!:
