I've kept a fun meme in reserve for a fun day when I might want to do something fun.
Today's the day. It's sunny and 70 (for the first time since November 4), and my sister is REALLY TRULY HAVING HER BABY TODAY. The doctors are still a little concerned about the baby's size (estimated at this point to be 6 pounds, 1 ounce), so she's sitting in a hospital room in San Jose even as I type this, getting prepped to be induced.
As you might imagine, I'll be way too distracted by the weather and the birth of my first niece to write anything coherent this afternoon.
So here's the meme (which the lovely Elle tagged me with back in January; I can't believe it was that long ago).
A Meme for your iPod
Instructions:
1. Put your iPod (or MP3 player) on shuffle. (Note: I started this meme using my Shuffle, but eventually, it got too hard to guess the song title. So I switched to iTunes on my desktop. Still works.)
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN AS YOUR ANSWER, NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!
4. Tag some Moms you admire who could use a laugh and a song.
So here are my answers. If you are feeling as distractable as I am today, feel free to skim. I put my favorites in bold.
Also, please note how many of these answers are kids' songs, despite that my music library is only 15% or so kids material. Weird.

I love the ipod tags, such fun. Now if I can just REMEMBER TO DO IT, that'll really be something.
ReplyDeleteI have no attention span and I made it through all of yours. A few made me laugh right out loud, and a few gave me chills. So cool.
Enjoy the day! (you might hear me singing if you're out on your deck, I'm that happy about the weather)
Hilarious! Any excuse to use my ipod! I just posted mine...because I had no other post ready so basically you saved me today :)
ReplyDeleteYou are the most hysterical ever, Y'ALL. :) My iPod is at home and I'm on vaca, but I'll totally play along when I get back.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite new song is dance, dance, dance by mandisa. I hope that one pops up somewhere. :)
I'm betting the first one is a certain husband's favorite answer. . . .
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your sister and her family!
