Well, since I haven't posted in a while, I wanted to say that I received four CDs from Amazon yesterday and I love them ALL. Here are the CDs I got:
- The Best of Peggy Lee, Peggy Lee - there is not a song on this cd that I do not like and I think I even found another "favorite" song. It is called "I'm A Woman" and it sounds kind of bluesy. I have posted the lyrics to this song at the bottom because they are so funny. The album also has the famous songs: "Fever", "Unforgettable", and "Alright, Okay, You Win."
- Not Too Late, Norah Jones - this is Norah Jones' newest album (just released in January 07) and it is pretty good. If you like Norah's music, you will like this album. The CD cover art is really neat. I haven't been able to listen to all the songs yet to say which is my favorite.
- The Best of Sandy Posey, Sandy Posey - I had to get this CD because there are two songs on the album that I used to sing all the time when I was a little girl. I had the two songs on a little record album and I would play them over and over. The songs I am referring to are "I Take It Back" and "The Boy I Love." I also found that I like many of the other songs on this disk. I am so excited about it!
- Dreamland, Madeleine Peyroux - I heard about Madeleine on NPR last month and she sounds like Billy Holiday (very cool) and so I looked at all four of her albums on Amazon and decided I would like Dreamland the best because it has several songs on it that I love. The album includes the songs "Walkin' After Midnight" and "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter". One of my favorite songs that I had not heard before is "Was I?" because the lyrics are super funny.
Ok, enough about my new CDs. I just really love music and the way it can make you feel so good.
Well, last week (at the end of the week), Andy had a sinus infection and he hasn't really seemed like his happy-go-lucky self ever since. It has been difficult in the mornings when he cries and screams for me not to leave him at preschool. I sometimes feel like such a bad Mom having to leave him and go to work. I guess a lot of parents feel the same way.

I'm A Woman
by Peggy Lee
(Album: The Best of Peggy Lee)
I can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have 'em hangin out on the line
I can starch & iron 2 dozens shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippins can
Throw it in the skillet, go out & do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
I can rub & scrub this old house til it's shinin like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, & powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing til 4 a.m. and then
Lay down at 5, jump up at 6, and start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If it's lovin you're likin, I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
I can stretch! a green black dollar bill from here to kindom come!
I can play the numbers pay the bills and still end up with some!
I got a twenty-dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all.
