Birthday Love

(I know I won't have time to post tomorrow so I am doubling up today!)

So everyone I am here to announce it is my BIRTHDAY WEEK and the week before Valentines Day! Unfortunately "healthy initiatives" are the last thing anyone wants to be thinking of on their birthday, but such is the life of a girl on a weight loss mission. I actually made my friend Gretchin a birthday cake tonight and managed to only eat a smidgen of icing and one spoonful of batter. Baby steps my friends, baby steps.

But since it is my birthday week and the week coming up to Valentines Day I have decided to change the music on the blog to all my favorites so I can click on here and just listen to everything I love. Here is the play list and the rundown on why they were chosen.

• Someone Like You by Van Morrison: This is Jeff and I's song. Makes me happy in a way no other song can.
• Waterloo by ABBA: Makes me think of my mom and I can't help but laugh. We do love Mamma Mia and everything ABBA!
• Sunday Morning by Maroon 5: Is a part of the soundtrack for one of my favorite movies Love Actually. I listened to that cd on repeat for about 2 years.
• Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson: Who doesn't love sleeping in and eating banana pancakes like it's the weekend?
• Crocodile Rock by Elton John: Had this on a the Four Weddings and a Funeral soundtrack back when we still had the Venture minivan! Had the kids I babysit listen to it a couple weeks ago and they loved it. Something about it is just classic.
• Wouldn't It Be Nice by The Beach Boys: Such a happy song.
• Marry You by GLEE: I like the Bruno Mars version too, but either way, Kristen and I listened to this song for about a week straight and all the way to Kentucky and back.
• Almost Like Being in Love by Frank Sinatra: This one I just heard the other day when I was watching Groundhog Day, you know, the one with Bill Murray and he relives the same day over and over? It plays at the very end and I thought it was perfect for Valentine's Day!

Have a great week and stay away from cookie brownies, they are the devil in wonderful chocolate gooey disguise.
