Yes, I do that occasionally. I have always loved music. I've never been out of my comfort zone with music since I like just about everything. Saturday I bought two CD's, Kid Rock's new one & Cindy Lauper's Memphis Blues. How's that for eclectic taste. I saw Kid Rock being interviewed by Piers Morgan & I was actually impressed. Don't tell but this is my 2nd Kid Rock CD. He's growing on me. Now Cyndy Lauper the queen of Queens, NY, she's really something else. I loved her voice with the old time blues & she definitely did them justice. I'm a fan. I was thinking about the first time I heard Andrea Bocelli. It was a duet with Celine D.... singing "The Prayer". What a voice he has. So naturally I bought his CD that was out at the time. Have you ever cried listening to someone sing in a language you don't understand? That is what happened when I heard this CD. I can't explain the feeling but it seemed like he touched my soul or something. It was like I knew what emotion he was trying to convey but didn't actually know what the emotion was except it was touching, moving & very eloquent. How can anyone have that good a voice? I wish I could really be more descriptive since it was & still is an amazing thing that happens to me when he sings. I guess or I hope that is what happens when you go to the opera. I think going to the opera is on my bucket list somewhere. I'm adding learn Italian now. Not that I need to understand the words he sings, since it so emotional just to hear the voice & music, but because I'm Italian. More about that another day.
I have so many lists these days. One for groceries, errands, things I have to do around the house, who I should call or email, lists for presents & March has a lot of birthdays in our family, then of course doing the things that are out of my comfort zone, the bucket list, lists for work believe it or not. This week I'm bringing in some dessert for the SPCA bake sale and NO it won't be home-made for those of you that thought I still cook & bake. And of course the list includes "hat day" don't ask, but I need to put it on my list so I don't forget the hat!! And I signed up to bring paper plates for the PotLuck breakfast we are having on hat day. So you see, I need lists, lots & lots of lists.
I've been thinking about this new phone I bought a few weeks ago.... This is so embarrassing but I could not figure out how to answer it. Yes, you read that correctly. Did I mention that I am technically challenged? I didn't realize that the little puzzle piece with the phone receiver on it, had to go into the empty space. But I did figure out & get addicted to Angry Birds!! You can see where my priorities are. I'm hoping my friends & my youngest son can give me some pointers. I love the phone, but it really would be advantageous if I knew how to answer it. My Droid, ah yes I'm out of my comfort zone, definitely.
I have this charm bracelet my daughter-in-law gave me with all 7 of my grandchildren's names on separate "charms". I love the tinkling sound it makes. I was thinking it reminds me of the Jimmy Stewart movie, "It's a Wonderful Life". The Angel says everytime you hear the tinkling of a bell, an angel gets his/her wings. I've always loved that movie & that thought. I think of it when I hear my bracelet making a sweet little tinkling noise, but with a twist. I hear the sound & think of my 7 grandchildren who are all little angels in my heart. It's a sweet thought & makes me happy throughout the day.
Enough thinking for now. I'm ever pondering if I can get this life right & discover who I wannabe.
Kid Rock huh? Who would of thought?
