GLEE!!!

The new season of Glee begins exactly one week from today!!!

I don't even know where to start.  Our family is OBSESSED with the Fox tv show, "Glee".  I think it is the best thing on tv in a LONG time.  For those of you who haven't yet seen an episode, you are seriously missing out.  It is so fun to watch and even though I am a horrible singer, we absolutely LOVE singing along to all the songs from the last few seasons at home and in the car.  We each have our favorite songs.  Yes they are all cover songs, but just listen for yourself and you'll agree the Glee version sounds so much better for the most part. 

They have had guest appearances from Kristin Chenoweth & Idina Menzel of the original "Wicked" cast, who are absolutely amazing! The new season will have even more guest appearances by other talented singers as well. The lead actress Lea Michele, who plays Rachel on Glee is incredibly talented.  To quote my sister-in-law Jana, "I would kill to have her voice, not literally, but you know what I mean." The whole cast comes together really beautifully.  I was updating my playlist (see below) and found that they had a ton of glee songs which I now added.  So please, enjoy!!

FINALLY!

After nearly a year we finally have Internet!  I know I could have posted on my blog from other people's computers but I either would forget my camera to add pictures or alright alright no more excuses.....I will try to be a better blogger now.  Before, I just felt pathetic for having a blog that I never posted on, but after reuniting with many relatives who live very far away, a new feeling emerged.  GUILT! 

After my sister's wedding we had a big family BBQ.  The subject of blogs came up (not from me of course, I'm not that stupid).  All of sudden it was mentioned by one of my favorite people that it makes her sad that I never post anything because she never knows what we're up to/how we're doing/what my kids look like these days.  Everyone at the table chimed in with similar sentiments and I felt my cheeks getting hot. 

If keeping up with my blog for myself isn't motivation enough, then I will consider all of my friends & family members who actually care and even look forward to seeing my blog (and are immediately disappointed when they view it and see I haven't posted anything since February...it's September)

My goal will be to post something at least once or twice a week, depending on how cool our lives are at the moment.  I will also take special requests from anyone (within reason) in order to keep things flowing.  A special thank you to those who continue to check my blog every month or so in hopes I finally posted something.  It gives me hope for myself : )

Love you all!
