The Musical Episode

Hey y'all!

I have been longing to write a blog regarding this topic! Music is probably my favorite hobby; I absolutely love to dance to old tunes and discover new ones. My eclectic taste in music never bores me. I love how versatile music can be! It can cheer you up, increase focus, get you pumped for a workout, or make you sob.

I have compiled a list of songs that I have recently fell in love with. If you ask anyone who knows me well, I take music very seriously. I often give songs the lucky 3, which means that I will listen to a song on three separate occasions before I either hold on to it or discard of it. Why do I find this necessary? I once chose to get The OC Mix as an incentive for selling Girl Scout magazines. I become so upset once I listened to it. Despite the artsy and "cool" cover, the songs were horrible. Now, it is one of my all-time favorite CDs (next to A Walk To Remember's soundtrack, of course!).  I treasure each one of my songs!  I am known among my family members to make pretty great cd's...so I think you can trust me! Ok, so here it goes....
