Highlights from the soundtrack of my life.

“That’s Enough!”

I was very pleased with the outcome of Saturday’s football games for wildcard weekend this year. I was hopeful that the 1 o’clock game would end with my team winning and I hadn’t really decided who I wanted to win the second game. I was OK if it was either the Seahawks or the Eagles.

But then, the Saints lost. And really upset me! I told Larry Foote In the summer of 2013 that I was a post-season Packers fan. Sean and I both have Cheeseheads that we would only wear during the post-season. But I’m not so sure that I am a post-season Packers fan anymore. I am a post-season Saints fan. I guess that is fitting given that I am a regular season Lions fan so I understand disappointment.

Well, I am super disappointed now because the Saints are out of the playoffs again. It reminds me of working with the Adam at Barwis. this had to be six years ago but there was a man who played in the CFL and was looking to get into the NFL, that’s why he was working out at Barwis. Adam was stretching me on the white table and the man was sitting on the turf not too far away and stretching after his work out. Adam asked him which NFL team he would want to play and if he had the choice.

Adam is a big Eagles fan and back then he was a Rex Ryan fan so he wanted the guy to play for them. I can still remember seeing the guy sitting on the turf and choosing the New Orleans Saints. I wasn’t listening to their discussion about reasons to play for the Saints but once it was over, I remember saying and kind of singing, “Because their uniforms are SWEEET!!!” I remember it amusing both of them and they agreed that the Saints uniforms are sweet because they are!

As Sean and I watched the Seahawks versus the Eagles, Eve’s song played as they were coming back from commercial. Sean was laying on the couch behind me and I had my left hand up and was bopping my head to the music. That song used to be my jam! Third album came out during my senior year of high school.

As I moved my hand completely with the music, Sean told me,”That’s enough!” I started to laugh and just be for the game restarted, I told him Sandra bullocks line in Hope Floats. I told him, “Once upon a time, your mama knew what it meant to shine!”

i’m not sure who I will root for in the playoffs (If any) because I wanted the Saints to go all the way and win the Super Bowl. I don’t know which team I will join the bandwagon for just yet.

January 2020 Faves

I saw that a documentary on Linda Ronstadt what is it going to be on yesterday. I have been taken with her. Her music was kind of in my peripheral growing up but I heard that she was diagnosed with something and has lost her voice. It fascinated me because that is exactly like me but my job was never to sing like her job was.


Then, she talked about her Grammy she one with Aaron Neville.

This one wasn’t on the documentary but it is in my childhood:

I found out that she has Parkinson’s; the same kind that her grandmother had and died from.


I also found out that she released a Spanish album so I looked it up on Apple Music and I downloaded it but I haven’t heard it yet. I want to save that because it reminds me of my Dad.

I watched the documentary again today.

I posted before Sara Bareilles singing that song because she wrote it but I never saw the actual actress who played in the Broadway show of, Waitress because I’ve never seen that show. I remember posting Sara Bareilles singing in when there was a poster for the play on GMDB in the summer. I like Katherine singing it too though.

I posted the song on Facebook on November 30 and I know I have posted it before either on my blog, on Twitter, or on Facebook. It makes me cry so much because having MS is different from quadriplegia but as time passes, I am finding that maybe it’s not so different. It’s crazy how much you can miss going out to eat like in the video without so much help! I think I may need a minute to compose myself.

This one always reminded me of my friend and Flor made Tonya from WMU. It reminds me of working out at the rec center. Bon Jovi will always be cool! I recently saw him on GMFB!

He stayed for a couple segments and he looks the same!

To round out the trio of movies set to songs I posted this one on November 19. It was the song that was the last song I sing in public with a microphone, on purpose. It was at my cousin Al’s Quince. This one owas a little bit later than the other two but I sang it with Jimmy playing the guitar and Luis playing the drums.
