Last Comic Standing

Do any of you watch it? I am so excited my fellow Hickory native won tonight! Go HICKory... as Jon Reep says.

My Happy Place

I've discovered something this week that takes me to a happy place. It's more like taking me back in time, but it does make me happy. I have several "happy place" feelings from time to time about various things....smells of changing seasons, looking at scrapbooks of college & my kids births, going to the beach. The one I discovered this week is that I love 80's & early 90's music and the feeling it brings to me. It takes me back to many fond memories of growing up... pretending to marry the New Kids on the Block with my friend Julie, playing with Cabbage Patch Kids, performing Bangles concerts (really lip syncing to the songs) in my living room in front of my parents, roller-skating in my carport at home, hanging out with my friends in parking lot after school, going to the community pool with friends & playing the jukebox... to name a few. I've ventured into the MySpace world & discovered playlists on people's pages. I've found that you can download songs to your myspace page or just create a playlist to listen to online... for free! It's so much fun to think about how I remember each song. I'll be jammin out tomorrow while doing my household duties all day.

I had this conversation about "Happy Places" with a friend yesterday. One of her happy places is Disney World. What is your "happy place"? Post some comments... I'm curious to know.

***Here's the link to my "happy place" songs if you are interested...scroll past the first few songs and get to the second half. (I've got a little bit of everything on there)

Ooops! I lied

It's not over. Today, Corby was home sick. He didn't have the pukes, but he felt like crap all day long & stayed in bed.... ALL day long. He was up several times in the night with the poops. For some reason, he never throws up when he gets it. I still have claimed "in the name of Jesus" that I will NOT have this. I'm sleeping in the living room tonight. Not taking any chances.
