Friday Shuffle - The Cold Fighters Edition

Okay so everyone in the Pheasant House is under the weather - to varying degrees. Hopefully Fred will shuffle us up a mix that will make us feel better.

Oh, and yesterday marked our 15th wedding anniversary. I love that woman so much. How much? I plan on showing her as soon as we both feel better and can send the little ones off with our friends. ::wink, wink::

(Note to self: Do not copy this blog entry into the blog journal album that you are keeping for the kids to see when they get older.)

Okay, so on to the shuffle - take 'er away Fred!

1. "Another Again", by John Legend. This song is kinda hot. He seems like he'd be a cool guy to hang out with.
2. "You Decorated My Life", by Kenny Rogers. Okay, this song seems fitting enough in recognition of our wedding anniversary.
3. "Overs", by Simon & Garfunkel. Um, this song is more than just a little bit depressing.
4. "Big Joe and Phantom 309" performed by Ray Bierl. When I was in middle school, I bought a compilation album, from one of those music clubs, that consisted of various trucker-type songs. I'm...not...sure...why. Since then, I've lost it, but I always remember this one song that I really liked. It would make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Well, this is the song, and thanks to Itunes, I own it again.
5. "Proudest Monkey", by Dave Matthews Band. I've got to get me my fix of DMB every now and again.
6. "Who Put the Alphabet in Alphabetical Order?", by They Might Be Giants. And my oldest has to get his fix of TMBG every now and again.
7. "Beyond the Sea", performed by Robbie Williams. A very nice lovey-dovey song. Not a bad version from a 30-something British pop star.
8. "Fury", by Little Big Town. I always read that song title as "Furry".
9. "Holiday" by Green Day. Great band! Fred is showing his diversity, wouldn't you say?
10. "Where Have All The Flowers Gone", by Peter, Paul & Mary. Now Fred is being a show off.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Connect the Dots...of Logic

1. Child has fever
2. Child gets medicine, which child actually enjoys
3. Child then complains of other illnesses
4. Child is kept home from preschool and is allowed to watch TV, normally a weekend-only privilege, whilst mommie takes care of infant and works from home.
5. Child is complaining of illnesses the second day with sippy cup in hand looking for Gatorade, a favorite libation of his and one that is reserved for times when he is ill.

Child is not dumb.

PS Totally unrelated: Last night, I placed 2nd in our annual Toastmasters Table Topics Contest.

Friday Shuffle, shuffle on into the bathroom!

Last night was not good night in the Pheasantly Fascinating household. Our 3 year old was sick. He lost his dinner around 2 am, again at 6 am, and then at 8 am he couldn't keep down the juice he was drinking. Poor guy. So Mrs. Pheasantly Fascinating took him to his pediatrician this morning. They said it was probably some tummy bug and it will run it's own course.

The thing is that in three years this is the first time he has had to toss his cookies, not counting spit ups as an infant. He was scared. And he didn't get the concept of trying to make it to the bathroom.

That's okay though because it gives us something to strive for the next time he gets sick.

So, now that I have you thinking about icky sicky stuff, let us commence with our Friday Shuffle.


"Bat Out of Hell"(live) by Meatloaf. Really, the first tune is by a guy named something you probably don't want to associate with my above story.

"Congratulations" by Paul Simon. One of his wimpier songs, but hey, it's still Paul.

skip

Garth Brooks, "Unanswered Prayers", with 241 songs in this playlist and the shuffling Gods subject me to this song on two back to back shuffles.

skip (maybe I should cut back on my Paul Simon tracks in this playlist - there are 50.

Earth Wind & Fire, "After The Love Has Gone"

The Iguanas, "Angel"

Phil Collins, "Take a Look at Me Now"

skip

Steve Miller Band, "Horse and Rider"

Beny More, "Como Fue" and I have it on good authority that this is an "authentic version".

Buju Banton, "Our Father in Zion" and that, folks, is almost all of the lyrics in the 27 second song.

The Pleb, "One for Senegal"



A bit of a dissapointing shuffle, I do think.
