My life is a song...or ten

Sometimes I imagine my life has a soundtrack.

There's a perfect song for every situation, every feeling, every emotion, every struggle, every triumph...ok you get the picture. So if my life did have a soundtrack, I think it would look something like this.

I was with you until the Lionel Richie/Diana Ross "Endless Love" reference. Honey, that song is as washed up as what M and I have. Yeah, pretty much anything by Journey jumped the shark in the late 80s, but here we are in 2009 swooning with the first few bars of "Faithfully" every time. Frankly, I expected more of you. You're way hipper and trendier (is that a word?) than I will ever be. ;-)
