My iPod sits on shuffle, no particular playlist, just going through all the songs on there... It is amazing how many of things songs relate to life, my life, our life... make memories rush back... For example...
Miranda Lambert - The House That Built me:
This song makes me want to desperately visit my childhood home... I want to sit in the tiny room that was mine when I was in elementary. Sit in the bigger room that overlooks the yard. Wander through the rooms. But I'm scared to. Scared it wont be the same. Wont smell the same. That I'll be devastated and disappointed that all those things that made it OUR HOUSE are gone.
The Ting Tings - Thats Not My Name:
This song just makes me laugh. Watching Curt 'sing' it for the first time, with a little dance... I love it!
Ciara - Oh
Little to no words... Just memories!
Aqua - Barbie Girl
Driving the 30 miles to take Hunter to school when the boys started singing this and LAUGHING hysterically!
The University of Iowa Marching Band - Iowa Fight Song
Going to the Iowa game at Kinnick with Curt, Chris & Sam last year... Hot. But FUN!
Ludwig van Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata
Going through a time period in my teenage years, couldn't sleep. Would put this song on repeat, listen to it about 8 times and sleep. It would still be playing when I woke up.
Shinedown - 45
Learning to play this on guitar. Harder than it looks!!
Johnny Cash - Jackson
I love this song. Singing it in the truck a few months ago and Curt entered his own lyrics... I couldn't stop laughing.
Thats just a couple out of a couple thousand. I love music. I love coming across a song I haven't heard in awhile, having a memory resurface and smiling...

I do so love the song by the Ting Tings. I had a student that used that as her ringtone last semester. I love music, too. I often use shuffle to just see what pops up...it seems like I get a lot of Janet Jackson that way! Try to enjoy your last days as the only girl! Good luck with baby E's arrival!!
