Today's Play List

I won't (can't) update this every single day - mostly because I usually listen to the same play list for several days (weeks...don't judge me!) in a row and also because my play lists tend to be voluminous and I just don't have time.  But when I come up with a wicked good combination of tunes, I'll share it!

(As you can see, I've been a bit one-track-minded lately.  I'll get over it...eventually.)

Monday, March 5, 2012 (I've been asked if I really listen to the same things over and over as much as I claim.  The short answer is  - Yes, and probably more than I actually admit to.  Here's what I'm listening to today and yes, I will listen to this same playlist, on repeat, over and over while I'm at work today (about 11 hours, give or take) because these are the only songs I want to hear.)

Thursday, January 5, 2012 (because Tax Season has set in, I have to have something at work to make it not suck so much.  Since "all day" is now at least 10 -12 hours, this is a list of albums (rather than individual songs) that will be taking me through the days.  I have these all on CD so I can just pop one in and let it spin and what I love about this collection is that they're all pretty mellow and won't possibly offend my co-workers if I happen turn them up a touch too high.  And they're all just really great.  I'm sure I'll add to this list over the next 3 1/2 months)
