New Year’s Day 2022

Today, I can post a song from my FAVORITE band that it’s only fitting TODAY:

And because this year will mark my 40th year, I had to get this shirt because it’s true now…

I think I look like my Dad in this picture. I think it’s the glasses that I have to wear now. What I am now discovering is the trifecta of symptoms in my 21st year -= vision problems, chewing problems, and speaking problems!!! 😒😒😒

“…The Same”

I clearly remember when we (Sean and me) got our first wall-mounted TV. It was well past the time they first came out but I had just paid off a credit card and there were still papers in the waiting area at Olive Garden. Bright and the front page was a TV that they had priced and looked at with a friend at Best Buy! It was thousands of dollars but I knew I wanted it so I had them print out the specs and I sat and them for about three or four years. But looking at the sale paper, I saw the exact same TV for $899! I looked at Sean and asked him if he wanted to buy a TV tomorrow! We were going to an appointment to speak with the dental surgeon who was going to remove four of his molars. His 12 year molars. That was to make room in his mouth for his other teeth. These teeth needed to be removed before he got braces.

Sean was excited for that and the next day, we bought our TV. So, Sean must’ve been 12 and currently, he is 20. my TV has begun to blink and sometimes the sound will go out for a little while. In other words, my phone is dying after eight years. It has been blinking like that for months and just recently, it was blinking more often and The screen is pixelating. After some serious budgeting, I was able to get a new TV this past November. This morning, while I was still asleep, it was delivered and installed. The man had already left by the time I woke up and my Mom came to get me out of bed. I just finished washing my hands when I said to my Mom, “I have a new TV!” Went into the living room and turned my chair around to look at the TV on the wall. It looks the same! But, they no longer make 46 inch TVs so I have a 50 inch TV now. It looks a little bit bigger than my previous TV but it still is the same!

When I looked at the TV, I saw Collins say, “It tastes the same.” I first heard this song with my cousin Shannon. It was the Broadway cast and we both sing along to the entire show! When Brent came out in a movie, that’s the only version I can find on YouTube but even though the words are a little bit different, I just love hearing the guy from Law and Order sing!:

I still have to input my Wi-Fi password and the passwords for my streaming apps but I don’t know if that’s going to happen tonight or tomorrow. Tomorrow is a BIG day that I’m NOT looking forward to thinking about… 21 years with MS. 😒😒😒

“Christmas Through your Eyes”

I wanted to post this one yesterday because my Mom and I listened to this song on Tuesday. I had the rough day so I did not post it but it’s better to post it today because this one is #MyFavoriteThrowbackThursday!!! This was Christmas in our second apartment! And this is THE infamous tribot!!! I have had 19 Christmases with Sean and they all have been excellent! This year, our 20th, should be the same… I hope!

This song well always remind me of my aunt Rita! ANYTHING by Gloria Estefan!

I Know How This Commercial Smells!

The first thing I noticed about this commercial was the music! I used to know a guy who wore this cologne so I know how this commercial smells and it smells pretty good!::

I had to search for this video because I really wanted to hear the song in its entirety. I am putting it here so I can easily access it!

The commercial is weird but I really dig the song!

I STILL Swoon!!!

There is something about the first time I watch Hocus Pocus in October and the first time I watch Love Actually in December! It’s not like I have forgotten the movie but I forgotten how much scenes of fact me! I still swoon over Sarah and Carl and I am so sorry thanks did not work out for them!

I still smile and gasp at the scene when he touches her hair!:

And another reason to post the actual song:

I will watch the movie again today and I’m pretty sure that I will still swoon!!!

Choirmaster Carl OR “Barwis Music”

The first time I saw this commercial, I just noticed how angry the cat looked at the end. I didn’t pay attention to this song. But upon later viewings, I heard it! I realized what choirmaster Carl was doing and I laughed hysterically!

Last night, when I saw it again, I texted Jesse, Adam, and Mike Barwis. I got return texts that commented on those days and laughter!

The TV was on but I was not looking at it when I heard that this is, “Barwis Music!”

O, Holy Night

I turned the Hallmark channel on in the middle of a holiday movie and I see Pat Monahan talking to the main character. They were talking about I guess he is a singer or something but undiscovered. I don’t know how much of the movie ls left but I know that he will save the day and sing in the movie.

As the main character is dancing with some guy, O, holy night is playing, Train’s O, holy night which I had never heard before:

I’m watching the movie and Pat Monahan is talking so it’s weird that he is a Hallmark Channel actor now? So, I dig this song but I am afraid that Jon Secada put him to shame! I got nothing but love for you Pat but Jon is excellent here!!!

I think it’s strange that I have been listening to Jon cicada numerous times today and I’m only half into this Hallmark movie but I like that I heard a different version of this song that I will never forget even though it’s not my favorite version I deliberated and it solidified my love for Jon Secada! I just watched more of the movie and George Lopez is in it?! And then, Pat samg, “Shake up Christmas” with the guy who was dancing with the main character. I guess I will have to watch this movie from the beginning to see what is really going on!

Phase 2 2021 Completed.

Sean came over yesterday and started phase 2 of putting up the Christmas tree. I was able to snap this picture from my wheel hair:

Once he started putting the lights on, I HAD to put my song on!:

We talked as he was putting the lights up and I told him about posting my ALL-TIME Christmas Faves and adding the last song which is NOT my fave but it’s my cousinT’s so intern, I love it too:

As we continued to talk, he told me his favorite. I like that song as well! I KNOW that I have had that in my Christmas Faves list before but now I love this one even more now because Sean likes it!!!:

After he laughed and just before I went to bed, I took this picture of my tree. My Mom was impressed that for his first time, he did really well!




Phase 2 2021 is now completed.
