I've been cleaning, clearing, decluttering, and in some cases, yes, decraping the junk we have around the house these last few days, all to the ROCKIN' tunes from the tapes I hauled to college in my very cool cotton candy pink tape case. Which I had because it matched my pink bedspread and pink rose sheets, which when juxtaposed (that's my big college-y word to prove I really did go, because, this post is going to be really lame and will make you wonder about my mental capacity) with my ever so cool Goofy night shirt and matching Goofy knee highs, makes me wonder if maybe one or two of those 10 (yes, ten) college roommates left because of- nnnaaahhhhh, never mind, that's crazy talk!
Anyway, Katie's default question has morphed from the classic toddler "Why?" to "Is your music over now?" And, by 11am tomorrow morning, as my box of tapes are loaded in the back of the Goodwill truck, I'll have to answer, "Yes, Mommy's music is over now."*
So, I'll leave you with this:
If the world was gonna end in an hour and a half then love is a wonderful thing, makes you smile through the pouring rain, because friends are friends forever and baby, baby no muscle man could sever, my love for you is true and there's a higher place to go beyond belief, beyond belief, where we reach the next plateau in the Tiki-Tiki-Tiki-Tiki Room....
Ten points, a virtual high five and a box of mac and cheese to the first reader who can identify all six of the artists/groups that will be rattling down my street by 11:04 tomorrow morning! (You feel all challenged now, don't you?)
*Before you get all sniffley and offer your pack rat support, I didn't give them all away. I mean, where else am I going to find "Square Dancing Made Easy with Slim Jackson", or a mix tape with Eileen Farrell, The Serendipity Singers and the Jackson 5, OR my Rude Awakenings tape with 2001 Space Odyssey sung by farm animals? Come to my house. We'll party.
