52 Lists-- List #8 Your Favorite Albums

This week's list: your favorite albums was quite challenging for me.  Mainly because I kept thinking about photo albums and scrapbooking albums; pretty much the only albums I know!  

I figured that this line of thinking would not make for much of a list though and so I spent a week thinking about musical albums. 

I enjoy music, I listen to music and sing along when I know the lyrics but to actually know the name of an artist or an album... that's just not me.  Don't get me wrong there are some artists that I just love and I'll listen to any of their songs but mostly I have a pretty eclectic taste in music.  

My favorite songs are those where the lyrics speak to me.  

So instead of listing my favorite albums I'm listing some of my favorite songs.  Songs that speak to my heart and have special meaning to me:

  • Grow Old With Me by Mary Chapin Carpenter

    Such a variety! I recognize many of these songs from my teen years.

      Yeah I have really eclectic tastes! Pandora hates me! They can not figure out what to suggest. Most of these songs are from when I was in high school; our prom songs and things.

      Yeah I was surprised once I got going; though I did need my MP3 player and Google to help me figure out the artist for many of them.

    I don't listen to much music anymore, but I'm like you. I know the lyrics, but not necessarily the artist or album! I do know and enjoy many on your list though. :)

      If I'm listening to music it's usually my kids' music! :) I've long since lost the rights to the TV, Radio, and well... just about every else.

Prime Purchases I Made in March

Image
 Happy April Fool's day to you! It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases with Tanya.  I was doing so well with my Amazon purchases right up until the end of the month when we decided to host Easter dinner at our house and I felt like I "needed" so much not having any Easter decorations at all.  I bought a few new cardigans for this "in between" season and really love this cable knit one so much it's all I can do to keep myself from buying a second one! I also like this gray one.. . but I find myself wishing I had bought it a different color since it's not very "spring" feeling.  Evan needed some new hiking shoes and we really wanted something waterproof this year but our local shoe stores didn't have anything that worked so we turned to Amazon and he found this pair that he really likes.  I've been working on lots of scrapbook pages and I needed to buy some more of these adhesive refills and Cricut cutting

Alec's Accepted Student Day at JWU

Image
Last spring when Alec started his college planning I was pretty surprised that he only wanted to visit 2 colleges out of state (he visited a few in-state with his high school culinary class).  He ultimately decided to apply to just the 2 colleges we visited-- Johnson and Wales University (JWU) and the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Both ranked as the #1 & #2 schools in the U.S for culinary and baking/pastry arts. Funny enough out of his 2 culinary teachers he's had in high school one attended each of those schools!  Photo of harborside campus from last spring JWU Future wildcat photo also from last spring Visiting the CIA over the summer We were lucky that both schools are easily visited in a day and we had a great time touring them both. Alec made sure to ask lots and lots of questions. The two schools were so comparable to one another that we had quite the pro/con list going.  He LOVED the CIA's campus and that it was along a river and rather rural and quiet... but

Day in the Life: Friday Favorites

Image
 I decided to document last Friday for today's Friday Favorites post. I hardly ever document a day in the life anymore now that my boys are grown and mostly on their own. But I knew we had a pretty full day and thought it might be fun.  These are some of my favorite posts to read and I think I did a pretty great job remembering to document and take pictures for the whole day! 5:00 wake up and I allow myself to blog, read emails, etc. until 5:30 5:30 get up, get dressed for the gym, put away my laundry from the night before, make the bed. 5:45 head downstairs to make Alec's lunch (1/2 way though he came to the balcony to tell me he wasn't going to school since he wasn't feeling well-- he's 18 and allowed to make this call himself).  I decided to make a salad, some chicken salad, hard boil some eggs, and cut up all the fruit since we had just done groceries after dinner last night and none of that had been done yet. I emptied, reloaded, and restarted the dishwasher.
