since we're talking about 6th grade....


Bill has been sharing his musical loves, Nate has taken us to the land down under, and Ang and Shera have both admitted their obscure musical likes... and since I'm talkin about 6th grade, I thought I'd share with you one of my all-time favorite bands.


Oh yes, you might remember them. OR.... maybe not. I actually think they made more than one album, but none except this one made sense... and, uh, well, this one didn't even really make sense.

The bands lead singer, Belinda Carlisle, actually did do some songs on her own that were more popular. But, I, of course, still only like this album. It has the best songs on it! And the best part is... I know all the words to nearly every song on this album... yes even the not-so-famous "skidmarks on my heart". (which my girlfriend and I made up alternate words to and entitled it "squidmeat in my teeth"... I think I remember the alternate words more than the real ones)

Now I realize that most of the songs on this album have names that we really only see on Whose Line Is It Anyway's Greatest Hits skit... but hey, what can I say?

I am a child of the 80s!

Now, I think if NTG wanted to do a song on his blog, he should do THIS ONE!!!

Quiet now

Still of night

Inside fire burning bright

Right moment

Laying down

Oh, still no sound

It's all

automatic

No thought

Automatic

Golden hair

Skin glisten

Beating heart but don't listen

Angles sharp

Crash together

Time and consciousness sever

Mind in

automatic

Time stop

Automatic ic ic ic......

I too am a child of the 80's but I was ACTUALLY a CHILD. As in I turned 10 in '86. So I remember some of that album but only bacause the girl up the street had it. We weren't really supposed to go into her house because she had cable tv and it might poison our minds just by entering the home. We would go anyway. Sorry mom.

My favorite group from the 80's was Chicago. They were endowed with the ability to write love songs that ripped the heart right out of your chest. They knew just how I felt. Especially when getting dumped by your girlfriend at the junior high school Dance A Thon. She was a "Hard Habit To Break".

A very close second would have to be Journey.

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop. Secondly, ... have you SEEN me in the morning when I don't have it? Do you work beside me? No... you haven't...

Quick! Call an Ambulance!

I went on a bike ride with my 9 year old yesterday. Okay... I will wait a minute while you gain your composure. You don't have to be so loud about it. I had been promising her that we would go on a bike ride together for a few days. Why didn't I promise her a trip to Starbucks for a nice hot latte? So, we ditched a few responsibilities and went on a bike ride. But, I didn't have a bike. So, I was going to walk. She said I could borrow Abbie's bike. Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk...
