It's two! Two! Two memes in one!
Firstly, remember Kristen's 'Real Mom Meme'?
And my heinous response?
When my SSSM got a look at that post, she immediately made an appointment for a pedicure (which to me, on a list of fun things to do, ranks somewhere right above getting a tooth filled). I winced only a few times. I got a little hot, though, and the SSSM had to distract me during the [grinding] filing of the nails that the sweet and [deceptively] gentle-looking Asian woman was [committing] performing.
So, CHECK IT, my friends. The update that I promised. I imagine that the piggies won't look this good for a l-o-n-g time to come, so I just wanted some photographic evidence and a few witnesses.
Behold the crimson loveliness.
Secondly, Deb at iobsess tagged me for the sweet seven-song meme that's going around (I feel like she asked me to play at recess...*glow of inclusion*)
For whatever reason, I feel more exposed by the 'show and tell' of the music than I did showing the bump pics, bathroom reading or even my grody feet. Perhaps it's because it brings flashbacks of being in record stores and bringing my humble (and unabashadley popular) [albums] [tapes] CDs to the counter and having the incredibly-bored-by-life, heavily modified, dirty denim and leather swathed, 18 year old cashier look from me to the item and back while wearing his ultra-cool, *knowing* smirk. I buy all my music online now--or in Barnes and Noble, where the cashiers are a little more--hrm--'mature.'
I also have a wide range of music that I appreciate. My ipod houses a large, [schizophrenic] ecclectic collection. Music that doesn't really 'go together.' That's all.
Okay, here it goes. Seven songs I'm into right now (all on my ipod).
1. Pendulum Swinger, by The Indigo Girls
2. What Sarah Said, by Death Cab for Cutie
3. Everyday I Write the Book, by Elvis Costello
4. Hey, Girl, by Garrison Starr
5. Through the Dark, by KT Tunstall
6. Creeque Alley, by The Mamas and the Papas
7. Loves Me Like a Rock, by Paul Simon
So, despite my ambivalence about tagging others, Kristen, Mel, Kelly, Much more than a Mom and Jen (Letters about Eve) are it!
I love Garrison Starr. I used to get billed with her often back in the day, and she is the only act I played with who I could never talk to. I just stammered and blushed because I knew she was so much more than those clubs we were playing.
Great list. I could steal your iPod.

God, I'm crushing on you even harder after reading your music list. Great songs.
And your piggies look lovely, my dear. I loves me a good pedicure.

The toes look lovely. I could so use a pedicure. And I am furiously typing away - listing my seven songs. Thanks for the tag. :)
Great list, BTW. I love Paul Simon.

I've been meaning to get out my Elvis Costello again... It's been awhile. "Alison" was always one of my favorites.
Someone called my own playlist 'mature'; so polite!

PS Your feet dress up so nicely!

Thanks for the tag. I shall respond, and soon, spreading my musical tastes out into the world.
Love me some Elvis Costello. And love me some new girl feet. Tell me, how is it that your feet are still normal size and not swollen with pregnancy juice? I swear, my feet were hideous to behold, all fat and juicy. Walking felt like they were close to bursting!

gorgeous, daaahhhhling!

It was a hard thing for me to let my inner freak out. Your list is so awesome!!!
I forgot all about my fixation on Mr. Costello. I'm gonna have to put him on the stereo so I may get my groove back on...

I know exactly what you mean about the cashier's smirk. Some jerk in Best Buy didn't know who Rush was. Fortunately, all his co-workers did, and they took the piss out of him while I laughed.
I love that Elvis Costello song too.
