30 Day Song Challenge--Day 12

A song that reminds you of someone you hate--Hate.  There's no person I currently hate, so I'm going to pick on an insect instead.  The particular little nasty I've found a video for is called a spider or cave cricket.  Ugh! They look like a 6-legged spider and jump like a pogo stick on steroids.  Ugh and bleh!  I kill them with Raid because I can't bring myself to get within stomping distance of them.  When sprayed they have quite the little death scene, jumping all around and on everything trying to escape the poison killing them.  If you've never seen them in person, this video might not have the cringe factor that it does for me imagining them. Ugh, bleh and ehewwwwww! The music played is the theme from Jaws.  Truly appropriate if you've ever done battle with them. Ugh, bleh, ehewwww, and ACK!

30 Day Song Challenge--Day 11

Song that reminds you of a friend-Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi.  Kristy loves Bon Jovi.  She's got all their albums, she's been to their concerts a few times, she's cool like that.  I'm not sure what her favorite Bon Jovi song is, but I chose this one because sometimes it seems that's all we have is prayer.  She's a great believer in it, and I am, too.  This isn't the best version I've heard of the song, but it takes place in New Orleans, LA. Louisiana is one of the two states of the 50 that Kristy hasn't visited.  Perhaps if Bon Jovi plays there next year, she will get that one knocked out, too!

30 Day Song Challenge--Day 10

A third of the way through the Song Challenge.  I'm enjoying this. Hope you are, too!  Today's challenge is a song that reminds you of a family member.  Whenever I hear big band music, I think of my Grandma and Grandpa.  They used to go out dancing, and Grandpa sang as a hobby like I do.  He almost made it big with Paul Whiteman's orchestra,  but he decided to get a job with the gas company so that he could save up and marry Grandma.  I'm glad he made the choice he did.  He was a great man, and I can't wait to see him again in heaven, dancing cheek to cheek with my Grandma to Moonlight Serenade by Glenn Miller. I miss them both so much.

30 Day Song Challenge--Day 9

The song that inspires me by an artist that inspires me-Mighty to Save sung by Jeremy Camp. 

We sing this song fairly regularly in church. Every time we do it seems that God reminds me of another mountain in my life that He is able to move.

Jeremy Camp himself is inspiring, too.  When he was 23, he lost his first wife to ovarian cancer.   My sweet DH dying is my worst nightmare. For Jeremy to not only suffer that so young and to trust God through it amazes me.

30 Day Song Challenge--Day 8

The song that gets stuck in my head all the time--Actually I have a theory about songs running through my head. I have found sometimes that the songs that run through my head reflect how I am feeling in some way. 

Even so, I get annoyed by the song eventually.  My DH has a song that will always get an annoying song out of one's head.  The Smurf Song. Of course then you have to get that one out.  There's always the Song that Never Ends!

30 Day Song Challenge--Day 7

The song I hate.  Hate is such a strong word.  I generally don't hate stuff unless I'm being melodramatic.  I was having trouble thinking what song I hate when it hit me.  You Lost That Lovin' Feelin' by any band.  Ugh!  If DH wants to get on my nerves, push my buttons, encourage my crabbiness, he plays that song and laughs.   If they'd only make it in a punk rock version, then it would at least be more musically interesting. Sigh.

30 Day Song Challenge--Day 6

A song that makes me laugh--This song makes me hoot.  The video makes it even better.  Please enjoy!
