Since this weekend is clearly all about LOVE, I went ahead and channeled my 6th grade self by making a love song “mixtape.” Come on, tell me you don’t remember making “tapes” for your crush. No? CD’s? Man I’m old…
Anyway, allow yourself to get into the mood with these sweet, sweet love songs.
Gotta go. My pager’s blowing up.

I know what you’re thinking, “Um… It’s SUNDAY! How is this the weekend playlist?” Perhaps you forgot, my fine friends, that today is actually like Saturday because tomorrow we celebrate the great country that we live in. The good ol’ US of A. A country where you can vote, speak freely, and watch as much shitty reality TV as humanly possible. God bless America!
That said, it’s time to crack open a cold one, prop your feet up by the pool, and crank up the tunes.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a zebra pool float to attend to. God bless.

Sundays for me are meant for relaxing and doing some work to get a head start on the week. On Sunday evenings, I often sit and write and just let my brain wander. Sometimes when I write I need to get in the mood. Usually that requires me to get a little big moody and emotional. When I look around at our cute little house, pretty garden, and furry animals, it’s hard to feel dark and brooding. So, I put on some music that stirs up emotion and at times takes me back to painful memories or makes me think about what they’re singing and how that would feel. Depressing, right? Well, I’ve found it to be incredibly helpful in the creative process. (And, no, I don’t typically write in full hair and makeup).
