Day 9 Song You Can Dance To

I really like this song because it is so goofy. I really don't dance to anything except in the presence of my children when we are being incredibly silly. But I didn't want to do another kids song. So I choose the silliest punk song I could find! Reggie and The Full Effect is an awesome band we've seen a few times before we even really liked him. He is an amazing artist!

Day 8 Song You Know All The Words To

Ok so I know lyrics to a lot of songs. In fact it is something my husband doesn't like. I can't listen to a CD 1,000,000 times with out picking up a few lyrics. I guess it's something I pay attention to more than the actual music so this was a hard one to choose. I picked this song because 1. It's pretty awesome 2. because I wanted a song who's lyrics weren't super easy to hear and learn. I also believe this to be the first Atom and His Package song I ever heard.

Day 7 Song That Reminds You Of An Event

The night I posted this I had to get rid of some pretty creepy bugs in our basement. I really get grossed out when we get bugs, any bug really, in our house. I really couldn't think of anything that wouldn't be super cheesy for this day so I went with sillyness.

Day 6 Song That Reminds You Of Somewhere

Be Our Guest from Beauty and The Beast. When we went to Disney this song played EVERYWHERE! It used to be my daughters FAVORITE Disney movie and Belle was her favorite princess. I'm quite sad she seems to have grown out of the princess faze but I still like it!

Day 5 Song That Reminds You of Someone

You Are My Sunshine, This song reminds me of my baby girl Ruthie when she was a little baby. My mom started singing it to her and I did a little too. When my husband and I went to Riot Fest in Chicago it was the first time I heard the Screeching Weasel version and I love it!

Day 4- Song That Makes You Sad

This song is a cover of a Berlin song (ya know, of Take My Breath Away fame :) ). I love it, the music is amazing. The reason I chose this song as one that makes me sad is that I got this CD a little bit before my Grandpa passed away and listened to this song over and over driving back and forth from his house visiting him.

Day 3 Song That Makes You Happy

Atom and His Package is amazing! What more could you want from a one man band?!

Day 2 Least Favorite Song

For my least favorite song I chose one from my favorite band again. Again I could choose many different songs but to make it easier I looked to my favorite band again. I always skip this one because although it was the first song from Alkaline Trio I had heard it is the most played on radio and Music Tv channels. It doesn't even come close to any other song that Alkaline Trio has written.

30 Day Song Challenge-Day 1

So I saw this 30 Day Song Challenge on Facebook (Thanks Kayla!) and thought I would also post here. The first day's post is your favorite song. I have hundreds of favorites so it was very hard to choose. I picked "Hell Yes" first because it is from my absolute favorite band, Alkaline Trio. My husband and I have seen them many times and they were one of the first things we talked about when we got together, since I told him to look them up, he did and of course, loved them. Another reason I chose this song is because anytime I have this cd in the radio of my car I always start with this song!

May Books

So I really dropped the ball this month. I only actually started and finished three books so I'll include the others I started but didn't finish as well. Beginning with the ones I completed.

The Replacement- Brenna Yovanoff
I really liked this book. If you've heard of the Changeling in some folklore you know that there were stories of children who were taken in the night and replaced with another child sometimes not human. In this story a human child was taken in the night by undead creatures who lived under the city that used the human children for sacrifce. Most of the time these Changeling children did not live much longer after they were switched except in the case with the main character.

Wanted- Sara Shepard
This is the last in the Pretty Little Liars series. I really enjoyed this series until this last book. It started out fine but when it starts piecing together the clues from all the other books it seems like the author wasn't sure how to connect them so they pulled out the secret twin bit.

The Customer Is Always Wrong- Jeff Martin
I liked this book, I have never worked in retail but have worked with the public since I was 16 so I have had my fair (sometimes unfair) share of awful customers. Currently working in a DMV I deal with this on a daily basis. What I liked most is that the authors of all the essays in the book were authors or journalists who worked in retail before coming into the jobs they have now.

Books I started but did not finish.

The Coke Machine- Michael Blanding
At first I was interested and read a good chunk of the story behind Coke's beginning as a medicine but when it got to the part where the company changed hands it got kind of boring.

Water Wars- Cameron Stracher
I tried to like this book, I really did. It just wasn't what I wanted to be reading at the time. I would like to go back sometime and finish it but my checkout time on my Nook expired.
