Day 3: My Favorite Television Shows
Ok, at this point I’ve just totally given up on picking just one of anything… I’m 37 years old, there’s a lot of music playing, book reading, television and movie watching wrapped up in those years. I tried not to list every television show that I’ve ever watched, but I wanted to list shows that have some sort of sentimental or cognitive attachment. So without any further ado, here are my favorite television shows (by year): All in the Family (1971), Good Times (1974), The Jeffersons (1975)~ I just had to lump them all together. The writing on those shows was amazing and the jokes still hold up. They covered everything from abortion…

Day 2: My Favorite Movies (Again, I Can’t Pick Just One)
I’m not a big movie person. I blame it on my ability to become totally distracted by anything shiny. Seriously, I have the attention span of a squirrel. But that being said, there are a few movies that will make me stop whatever it is that I’m doing and become totally engrossed in the story. In order by date (hey, I’m a librarian, I categorize things in my sleep): Imitation of Life (1959) ~ I found out at my dad’s funeral that his favorite song was “Troubles of this World” sung by Mahalia Jackson who sings the song in the movie at the mother’s funeral. My dad didn’t know this…

Day 1: My Favorite Songs (I Can’t Pick Just One)
I love music, unfortunately, I’m not very musically inclined. Well, except when I’m in the car ~ then I turn up the radio and totally rock out to some of my favorite songs. Sometimes, if I’m really “feeling it” I’ll pull over on the side of the road and try to force the kids to sing along with me. I couldn’t pick just one song because there are are so many that mean a lot to me for various reasons, so I decided to break them down into categories and offer two selections from each one. Overachieve, much? Classical Somewhere in Time by Maksim Rhapsody on a Theme of Paginini…

The Banana Incident of 1978
I don’t think it’s any secret that I love monkeys. No, that’s not true. I’m obsessed with monkeys. And lest you think it’s just me, my cousin has informed me that her daughter also has an intense love for monkeys as does another cousin of mine. A family thing? Probably not, the rest of the family is totally repulsed by our monkey love. Anyway, my love for monkeys began when I was quite young and continues to this day. Just ask my loving and patient husband who has to stare at a monkey every time he, ahem, avails himself of the facilities. Seriously, if you want to know the real…

Tony Preparing for the Race
Every now and then I write about Tony and his racing and how much I enjoy riding in the car with him. I don’t ride often but when I do, it’s crazy fun. Imagine whipping around the orange cones in a big ol’ parking lot, tires squealing, smoke and exhaust filling the air…. Woot! Tony does what they call “cone killing” with the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). I haven’t been able to get video of him racing yet, but I did catch him setting up for tomorrow’s race…

Ten Random Facts About Me
1. I make up words. Sometimes I don’t realize I’ve done it until someone says “Whaaaaa?” Fortunately, my family’s used to it and they just let it go and figure out what I mean by context. 2. My twin sister is 45 minutes older than I am. When we were kids I used to say we were equal in age, now I love the fact that she’s older. 3. My first car was a Pontiac Fiero. I’ve had 3, I wrecked 1 and the other 2 died on me. That was over 16 years ago but every time I hear “I’ll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me” by Expose I’m…
