Highlights from the soundtrack of my life.

Wait. What?! OR Attacked

I watched this video probably four or five days ago and I didn’t want to share it because I watched it and felt COMPLETELY ATTACKED!!!

I want to first start off by saying that we had a wonderful Christmas! It was so laid-back and Sean liked all of his presents! I thought that I would just not think about this video ever again, but I have to share it here because what he said, cut me straight to my heart!!!

And it didn’t happen once, it happened for all three songs that he despises!!! I felt so attacked. At first, when I heard it, I thought, Wait. What?!

here is the video:

Everyone in my family knows that this song is ABSOLUTELY my favorite Christmas jam! It’s not Christmas until I hear this song!

I have been a member of the virtual front pew since week 17 of ordinary time of 2021. I watched Fr. Mike every week for mass and I listen to him every day when I’m reading the Bible. I am going to go on to my fifth time next year and it is so wonderful!

I have listened to his homily every week and I thought we are almost contemporaries. I think that he is five years older than me.

I havewatched videos from Fr. Mike all the time and I thought this one looked fun with his Christmas coat. I was not expecting what I heard!!!

I told my Mom about this a few days ago and she couldn’t believe it either. I told her that he says it is just a break up song and it’s not even a Christmas song. I looked at my Mom and said, “Have you seen the video?!”

It is completely a Christmas song and my favorite one! I will put it here just to have it one more time before the end of the season:

My CousinT Shannon

My Mom, wanted to hear a song today. She said, “What is that song, Five hundred twenty…?”

I interrupted her and knew that it was ‘525,600 minutes.’ She was surprised that I knew it and I told her that me and my cousinT Shannon sang that ALL THE TIME!!! Her and her husband took me to see it at the Fox Theatre while I was still in high school. We listened to this one a few times:

I got lost in thinking about us singing in her car. I told my Mom that I NEED to post this song because she loves it and I love Wham! and she does NOT but we listen to each other’s favorite songs when we hear them. Well here it is, this is her fave, NOT mine:

I Remember EXACTLY How this Feels!!!

This is not a new random tune, but I heard it today and we talked about this not too long ago:

My Mom had recently watched videos about Linda Ronstadt. She wanted to listen to the mariachi concert she gave.

I declined. I told her that listening to women sing is painful for me! It’s painful because I still remember crystal clearly how that feels to sing!!! I have been missing it so much right now!!!

I think that I am really feeling vulnerable right now! We had a great day today and I did not even cry for my mammogram which that is the first! I will sing praises for Lauren and Tammy my techs! I think I exclaimed in the room five or six times, “I didn’t even cry?!!!!”

We are going to handle my shoe situation on December 9 when I get my teeth cleaned. This disease progression is brutal! I was not ready for it, but I guess I was?! This stinks!!!

Rando Tune #77

This song was released on May 29, 2001. My freshman year of college had just completed.

I had just found out that I was pregnant and I had just put in to transfer to EMU from WMU. I was accepted but plans changed when I found out that I was pregnant.

The whole story of my enrollment and U if M – Dearborn is absolutely insane, but I’m too tired to write about it now. Here is this song:

Rando Tune #75

This song started playing after my chosen Sara Bareilles song finished and I am driving to work on Dix and I’ve stopped at the stoplight to turn onto Goldsmith to my school. It was a cold, snowy, winter day that I decided that I really liked this song! I was younger than 34. I can’t forget that moment! This was back when I thought that I would get married someday:

Rando Tune #74

I heard this song on Apple Music:

This is one of the last times that I could belt this song out!!! Sean was with his dad and I was doing laundry. Sean was due home and I had left my front door open of our second apartment because I was busy.

I remember when Sean opened the door with his dad right behind him and I was belting this song out full-force and I wasn’t even embarrassed to be caught! I haven’t thought about that day in a long time… I miss being able to sing… A LOT!!! #ItSucksToSuck #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…
