Things I Do Every Day ::52 Lists Project::



::pray::

"I said, We pray, pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray 
We got to pray just to make it today" -MC Hammer
(hee, hee. this song flashed across my mind when I sat down to write this)

...whether it be out loud or in my heart, 
I can't live a day without praying to my Heavenly Father.

::listen to music::
I usually wake up with a song in my head (Today's was XTC's Supergirl). 
Then throughout the day I listen to music 
while I get ready in the morning, work and sleep.

::"I love you"::
she proclaims as she leans in to kiss her husband goodbye.  
Then she pulls back the door handle and exits the car, 
looking back at him with a smile and turns to...

...ride the train::
every day to get to work.

::read::
I'm always reading ...whether it be signs, notes, books, blogs, facebook, cards, newspapers, magazines, letters, ingredients, subtitles, etc. Wherever written letters appear, I stop and READ it. It doesn't even have to be in English, 
I'll try and figure out other languages!

::wander around::

"'Cause I'm a wanderer yeah a wanderer
I roam around around around..." -Dion

(same here, this song just came to mind)

OK, not like that song! But if I feel comfortable enough in an area, I'll go and check things out.  
I like to see what's out there...

and ::snap photos::
of whatever I see. There's so much interesting beauty all around, 
I can't stand for it to be for my eyes alone ...
I have to share it with someone.

::write::
It makes me feel good to take pen to hand and just write it out. 
I have papers and notebooks filled with stuff that's not very fascinating, but I JUST HAVE TO WRITE. 

::eat chocolate::
Never a day goes by without it.
(it usually comes in the form of an m&m)

::watch TV/movie::
I will relax by turning on the TV.  
You will most likely find me watching the History Channel or a PBS station. Sometimes I'll even catch American Idol, The Voice, or America's Got Talent. And if none of that interests me, 
I'll put in a DVD that I borrowed from the library or from my own collection and watch that.

::sleep::
ahhhh sleep. nothing better at the end of a day.

Blondie

Do you ever wake up with  song in your head? I do. just about every day.


This morning's song was Heart of Glass by Blondie.


I think I was about 9 or 10 years old when this song came out. I instantly loved it and had to have it.  

One day I was at SEARS with my parents. They said I could get one record. I think I must have jumped for joy! I knew exactly what I was going to get. I rifled through the large display of 45rpm records and found it enclosed in a royal blue paper cover.


I couldn't wait to get home so I could play it on our record player in the living room.


This was the first of many maNY MAny favorite songs to come!

     "Once I had love, and it was a gas, soon turned out
     Had a heart of glass.
     Seemed like the real thing, only to find,
     Mucho mistrust.
     Love's gone behind...."

What was your first favorite song?
