That is a lyric from one of my favorite songs off the new Amy Winehouse (Back to Black) CD. I think that is a cool line but I kinda like it in a different context than in the song (Tears Dry On Their Own). That song is more about breaking up with someone. But I like that line because, really ladies…when your man is leaving you after you have say, a wonderful day together. An evening date. A weekend away. Then you each have to return to your own homes. Isn’t that the way it feels, when you’re in love and he leaves to go home? When he leaves, the sun goes down.

I think it’s a cool line, at any rate.

I bought this CD a few weeks ago on sale…I think at Target. I wasn’t so sure about her when I heard Rehab, but then I heard You Know That I’m No Good and she started to grow on me.

Basically, it was a very good sale price so I went for it, and I’m really glad I did.

I can’t say that this CD has a lot of “feel good” songs…they are just good songs. Good beat. It’s just a groovy CD, and I know that is an antiquated word but I know no other way to describe it. She is such a great combination of today and retro - you can hear the girl group of the 60’s influence on the CD.

With lyrics like ‘what kind of fuckery is this’ and ‘nobody stands in between me and my man’ - seriously, how could you NOT want to buy it for yourself?

It was our turn to be flocked at work today:

You know, to give a brief explanation - this is part of the local Miss Arkansas contestant’s effort to raise money for the Arkansas Children’s Hospital. The flock shows up at a different business everyday and it migrated to our office sometime over the weekend.

In other news - today is the first day for me on the Fat Smash Diet. Wish me luck, I really need it. You can read all about it at my diet blog, sogroovynow.wordpress.com.

Some of you may or may not have visited my myspace page. My current song is Memory in the Making by John Kilzer. I’m not sure if this song hit nationwide; it came out in 1988. John Kilzer is a local Memphis musician. I always liked that song, just nice and mellow. And it has one of my favorite lines in a song ever: you’re just a ghost in a castle, that’s my destiny to wrassle. Got to LOVE it!!

I can never think of good titles to my posts. At all. So there’s a classic for ya right there.

I marked my last entry as private - I had to go off on a rant there, and sometimes that is all you need. To vent some. Then you read it later and think…geez, how many people did I just offend there?

I went for a girls night out a couple of weeks ago and went to see Knocked Up. This movie was hilarious and everyone should go see it. I think men and women both would like it. Especially good for people who have gone through child birth. Watching how men and women interact in this movie makes it good.

Again, I have not been blogging much. We are busy with sports activities and so forth and just other stuff. I have lots on my mind and I feel frustrated at not being able to talk openly here anymore like I used to. But it’s all good. Things are going pretty well.

My problem is finding the time to blog when something hits me! I know there is a tool I can utilize with Firefox that might help me there, because sometimes I think of some good stuff to say and by the time I get here to log in - it has escaped me. I’ll work harder at that.

I watched Dazed and Confused a couple of weekends ago with George. It was a good weekend to watch it - it was the last week of school, and the movie is set on the last day of school. And set in the 70’s. I really enjoy that movie and could watch it over and over.

I confuse myself at times. I was young in the 70’s. Pre-teen years, even. But I have such fond memories of that time. I’ve talked about it before - years before teenage angst then adult hood take over your life. Memories of being a kids, playing outside until dark, riding your bike, chasing the ice cream man when you heard the truck, going to your grandma’s and spending days at a time. Just having fun and not worrying so much about…stuff.

I still love listening to disco, I still adore the Bee Gees and ABBA. I love watching That 70’s Show. I love WKRP in Cincinnati. I loved watching Wonder Woman, The Bionic Woman, Kaptain Kool & the Kongs…ahh the 70’s.

We sure could have used Schoolhouse Rock! the last week of school. My son was having a lot of problems with nouns, pronouns, adjectives before his English final. I had a hard time studying because all those songs kept going thru my head.

And with that in mind for your listening pleasure, you children of the 70’s:
