And I come undone

The lovely Tricia from Spoke It is in Chicago this week, and I'm crazy jealous.

1. Do you know how to play a musical instrument?
Nope, not at all. I took piano lessons for a month as a kid before getting bored, I wish I had kept up with them, because I would love to be able to play now. It's never too late to learn I guess. I always did singing in school instead of learning to play something.

2. What is your driving pet-peeve?
I hate riding in the car with someone who thinks that traffic laws are just a suggestion. They're not! They're for safety! Yours and especially mine. Don't be an idiot.

3. Would you rather have a housekeeper or unlimited spa services?
Oh man, I have to choose? Both sound wonderful. Probably the housekeeper, because I hate cleaning, and I can usually get a massage from my wonderful boyfriend ;)

4. Is there a song that you hear and it takes you back to a moment? Like junior or high school?
Mmmmmmmmbop! I loved that song when I was in middle school. My best friend and I used to go home and watch MTV videos before our parents got home (Sorry, Mom!) just hoping to see the Hanson dudes in their video. And PS, they have a new song out that I am obsessed with - which is so random because the last time I listened to them was for real in 6th grade. Anyway it is called Thinkin' Bout Something and you should give it a chance, because it's catchy as hell. It's true.

5. What song best represents your life right now?
My life right now is such an emotional roller coaster. I've been staying away from posting details about it because I hate sounding all emo or whatever, but Phoebe has been really, really sick, and I'm dealing with the fact that I have to sell my horse and that breaks my heart. Plus I am working too much at a job that pays too little. Basically what I am trying to say is that one minute I'm having fun and the next I am close to tears because I am so stressed out.

So I'm gonna go with Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty, who remains my favorite band of all time. I know that no matter what I am going through I can turn on their music and it just makes everything seem better.
