What would you sing?

25 03 2008

Conrad and I are watching American Idol. He tells me he could pass on it without missing any sleep, but somehow once it’s on, he’s sucked in like the rest of us.

The challenge for the singers tonight? Sing a song from your birth year.

Made C & I think about what we would sing. Here’s how it came out:

Conrad – 1974: “Hooked on a Feeling,” by Blue Suede (I was lobbying for “Kung Fu Fighting” … and also interesting fact, John Denver hit it big with Annie’s Song in 1974 … a song that was sung at our wedding :-) )

Becky – 1978: It has to be “You’re The One That I Want” as Grease came out in 1978 and had more than one chart topper. It was either that or ” Three Times A Lady” by the Commodores or “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” by Neil & Barbara. <Sigh> Good times.

So … what song would you sing from the year you were born?

Comments people … I want to see comments! :-)

Oh … and if you’re not sure, look up the singles hits from your birth year.





Something in the water?

I can’t even think of how many friends have new babies or will in the next 9 months. Wow.

So for all the new mom-friends out there … saw a good blog discussion today about cloth v. disposable. I even had a friend recently say they were thinking of going the cloth route (an impressive statement … I hope it works out).

Anyway, a 2-part series… I thought the comments at the end were interesting as well:

To paraphrase for the busy new moms who can’t take the time to read further, it was less about the cloth diapers and more about laundering them well — if they’re being cleaned by a service, do they use chlorine? The writer felt she would be undoing the good unless she could rewash the diapers. As for disposables, she ended up finding a brand she liked (called Tushies).

Food for thought!
