Dance!!!

Oh my gosh, I just saw this video on Dooce and just had to share! If this doesn't put you in a good mood, then nothing will! Also, just like Dooce, I would love to be born with a little rhythm. Enjoy!!!

Allison's birthday

Remember when I mentioned that I had two parties to go to the weekend of Valentine's Day? One of those was to go to my friend Allison's 30th birthday. She just says that it's her annual 21st birthday celebration. Jason wasn't feeling well that night, so I went solo. We met at Luna to see Ruben V play. He's an awesome Texas blues guitarist.....amazing. You have to see him in person if you live in the area. Anyway, here's a pic of the birthday girl and I:

 

I look so weird in that picture! What is wrong with me??? I found it funny that we both grew our hair out at the same time! I also finally got to meet Allison's new boyfriend Markus (left) and her brother Todd and sister-in-law Allison. The brother and sister-in-law live in another state so I've heard the names for years.

 

I had a great time meeting her family and boyfriend and loved hearing Ruben V for the hundredth time!

The next day, on Saturday, Jason and I went to my cousin's 25th birthday party. It was a crawfish boil. I enjoy seafood, but I've never tried crawfish. They just look creepy. The birthday girl, Becca, made me try a piece and it was okay. It was kind of spongy like crab, but luckily it was spicy from the sauce. No, I didn't such the head. Gross! I only got one picture of the birthday girl and birthday boy (Brian - never met him before):

You gotta love that Texas-shaped cake! It even had little margarita candles on it! Even though I hadn't planned on staying a really long time, Jason and I were there until most people had left. We got a great visit in with Becca and her husband, TJ. Thanks for inviting us guys!

Guilty Pleasure

Listening to the all-Christmas station the entire month of December, only changing the station when - teens and tweens cover your ears - the Jonas Brothers sing.

Music for the weekend

I may not be the biggest country fan, but I love "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. I also love "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay. Did you think the two could go together? Check out this awesome instrumental:

A Lesson In Humility & Judgment Of Others

If you haven't seen this video, you've been living under a rock. As I post this, there are currently well over 11 million hits. I've seen it about 3 times and it gives me chills and nearly brings me to tears each time. Please watch HERE.

And just in case you're wondering, yes, it's suitable for all ages.

Like A Lollipop.......

I was listening to the radio (I heart XM!) and this song came on that caught my ear. It sounded familiar, but the music was wrong. Remember Lil' Wayne's song, "Lollipop?" Yeah, I know. I don't love it either, but that's what I heard.

On the hard rock station! Ha!

Some group called Framing Hanley redid it and it made me laugh out loud. I can honestly say I've never heard the word "shawty" used in conjunction with rock music. Or "lady lumps" for that matter.

I also heard a Peter Gabriel song covered by Coal Chamber & Ozzy Osbourne. It was the '80s hit "Shock the Monkey." Peter Gabriel sometimes sang some weird stuff, so it's only fitting that Ozzy would get in on the action.

A couple songs that I have found myself listening to that are not covers are "Citizen/Soldiers" by 3 Doors Down and "Second Chance" by Shinedown.

For any of you that like the rock music like me, I was listening to station 48 on XM radio. I don't even know what it's called anymore because Sirius had to go and screw things up.

Whining....

Has anyone heard the new Beyonce song, "If I Were A Boy?" I think it's such a whiny, whiny song. I guess it's such a drastic change from "Single Ladies" (which I love) that I just can't stand to listen to it. I feel compelled to change the station before she can even sing the word boy. Anyone else feel the same way?

That's it.
