  2. Onward Christian Soldiers--hated that song!!! but was forced to sing it
  3. I'll Fly Away--I was pretty young when I was assigned the alto part
Songs guaranteed to make you cry
  1. I Get Along Without You Very Well (Hoagy Carmichael) Especially when sung by Diana Krall
  2. The Way You Look Tonight (Jerome Kern)
  3. Somewhere Over the Rainbow--favorite of my good friend who died when we were 17
Songs guaranteed to make you smile
  1. If I Only Had A Brain--nicely sung by Harry Connick, Jr.
  2. Second That Emotion (Smoky Robinson)
  3. Secret O' Life (James Taylor)
  4. Tico Tico--from the London Horn Sound CD
  5. I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow--as sung by The Soggy Bottom Boys
Current Most Played "Songs"

"If I only had a brain" One of my favorites and I like Harry's version.

My Sitemeter is All Bloated and Not Quite Itself

I'm tempted to let it sit on the couch with its feet curled up under a blanket, a hot cup of coffee in hand, a block of cherry almond bark Chocolove within reach, and An Affair to Remember spinning in the DVD player. I'm one of those obsessive bloggers, the kind who checks her sitemeter as often as possible throughout the day, the kind who gauges the quality of her writing by the number of readers who regularly stop by. I've become less interested in the overall number of hits and more interested in the number of repeat hits. The return visitors are the ones I long for. When my sitemeter reads forty at the end of the day, and the majority of those hits are webpals who have conversed, I'm happy.

Immediately the clanker goes off in my head--oh, good, I thought. I can deliver my daughter a little late. No Ish person is early, so if you say 9ish, that does not mean give or take 5, 10, 15 minutes. It's exclusively a taking phrase. Take an extra 10 minutes to drink your cup of coffee. We won't mind. We're Ish people. Sunday's rehearsal started at 2:00. Because it was conducted by the same people who conducted the Saturday rehearsal, my understanding was 2-ISH. My daughter is worse than I am about taking liberties with Ish time frames, so she d...

Happy Birthday...

to me! Update: Since you have asked, I only got one actual packaged gift, a beautiful hand-made bracelet from a friend, but both girls were home for the weekend, and we had dinner at the lake and a relaxing weekend. Thanks to all of you for your lovely wishes!
