If I Was Pandora I Would Play.....

I haven't gone away [though some of you might be hoping that would happen] but I've been very busy since coming home from vacation.  It takes a lot of time and effort to sit in the recliner, watch TV, and sleep late.  We had to take a vacation from our vacation right? In all honesty, I've been kind of bummed out this week.  I think it is because I had so much fun with my family but as soon as Monday of this week came they scattered like mice, back to their own lives and stuff.  I was kind of sad:(  [Some of you are do that rolling eyes thing right now.  You can stuff it.]

Really, not much has been happenning here at the Short house.  Craig went to the coaches clinic [aka testosterone fest] and Molly went to UNC for softball camp.  It was just the three youngest Shorties and ma.  We just had fun doing nothing.  Pretty soon, with football starting, we'll be as busy as ever so I don't mind having nothing to do. Really.

Coop, Gabe, and I went to get Moo from UNC today.  We had a heck of a time finding some decent toonage.  Molly has some CDs in her car but nothing we cared for [she loves her some T. Swizzle and country music] so we ended up doing a lot of station hoping.  We should invest in one of those thingies that you can play your iPod through in the car but so far, we haven't.  This whole dilemma [I realize it doesn't really qualify for dilemma status...really doesn't qualify for talking about but I'm going to talk about it anyway] made me think about the music that I like [since I am the important one that was driving and couldn't find some decent music] that I would play if I had my own Pandora station.  These are some of my favorite songs [and some of them go waaayyyy back]:
