I'm Pretty Sure He Likes Delilah
Dear Blogity Blog,
I lost my iPOD last week. I left it on the plane. NO ONE turned it in to lost and found and I know because I've called more than once. I think that cleaning person decided to turn it in to his/her pocket instead. I've been bummed about it all week until today. Today Ray gave me his iPOD (his is nicer and newer). He said he gave it to me because he "rarely" uses it. He also said I could wipe it clean and put all my stuff on it.
Tonight's been great, and not because he gave his iPOD to me. I'm going through all the music on it and trying not to laugh... don't want to make him feel embarrassed. I knew this was going to be great before I'd even left the A's. He has Air Supply on here. As I kept scrolling, it only got better. The B's have Boys II Men, and the C's have Celine Dion. The real belly buster happened when I got to the W's. My husband has Wilson Phillips on his iPOD. Who is this person?
Ray's getting the last laugh now, though. I'm the one singing along (LOUDLY) to Wilson Phillips. I feel like I'm 10 and hanging out with my best friend Gwen. We've got the music on low. We're laying in her water bed and talking about what we want our houses to look like when we get older. I can't even begin to make you understand what this feels like. You'll just have to go turn on Wilson Phillips and feel it for yourself. This has been the best blast-from-the-past ever.
Gwen, if you lived anywhere near me, I'd come over and share Ray's iPOD with you. I'd also bring some graph paper so we could draw the blueprints to our houses and then we could end the night by playing MASH. I think we'd have an awesome night.
I don't think I'll be wiping his iPOD clean... not with all these gems on it.
Sincerely,
CaliOn another funny side note; after the first 5 Wilson Phillips songs played I subconsciously thought, "almost time to turn the tape over." A side and B side, burned into the brain F-O-R-E-V-E-R.

I bet you have more techno and Lady Gaga you know what to do with now.
I'm so glad Ray gave you his iPod, because it MOVED you to write.
I clearly remember yours and Gwen's Wilson Phillips days. It was the first artist you branched into on your own that I knew nothing about. And those houses. My how you two could draw homes. I loved both of your dreams. Sweet memories indeed.
Cali, men secretly LOVE love ballads. All men. Even the ones who vehemently deny it (read Calvin here).
Thanks for the chuckle,

It was all I could do to not start singing outloud in the store ;)
This post cracked me up. Love it Cali.
