Here's my most recent conversation { inspired by this.} with my 16 yro daughter and I think it's probably my most favorite teXting conversation.

EVER.

It's best read OUT LOUD.

pinky swear.

you need to read it out loud.

And, don't blame me if you spew Diet Coke.

You're Welcome and Have a Nice Day.

My new addiction is Live from Daryl's House. It's real, authentic music played by musicians who are just jammin', having a good time and I can't get enough of it. I made a playlist of all my favorites from his 40+ episodes and it streams while I work.

I'm in hog singing heaven, people.
Srsly. Turn up your speakers. Close your eyes. I triple-dog-dare you to not start swayin'. Or dancing. Once the moves have been busted out, the words will beg you to be belted out. Singing along to these familiar tunes is medicine for the soul and will cure any bad mood. Or sad idea. Trust me.
