3 New Things

1. I am in my Maternity clothes completely now. I have put my regular jeans and pants into a bin for the next 6 months. I have parted ways. I am too big and too uncomfortable now to deal with them. I have surrendered to the MT pants! I do have some shorts/capris/pants that are technically not MT but have always been with my MT collection simply because I bought them too big or they could go both ways. I consider them MT clothes though. As for shirts, there are only a few that are not MT and of course there are the crossovers. I am still squeezing in to my pencil skirts for church but it's getting tight...almost time to buy the staple MT pencil skirt! It's actually great to just let go and own the MT wardrobe!

2. I started listening to Christmas music about a week ago. I always start out with Mannheim Steamroller. It always seems to be less abrasive then the rest. To hear a song that has no words or singing but is in fact a Christmas song versus listening to what you'll hear on the radio in December is a little more fitting right now for me. Mannheim does a lot of Christmas songs that people don't even know are Christmas songs which is also great that I don't have to listen to Jingle Bells right now if I want to listen to Christmas music. Thank Goodness for Mannheim!

3. When I'm not listening to Christmas music, I am listening to the Eurythmics.
I discovered (discovered meaning every song, every album) Annie Lennox a while ago and she became one of my very favorite artists and probably my top female artist. I bought all of the Eurythmics albums when I bought all of Annie's but never listened to them because there was enough to learn and mull over from just Annie.....until now. I have been going through the first three of eight albums and LOVE it. They are excellent and somehow different then Annie Lennox as a solo artist but still cohesive. I am only trying to learn a few albums at a time until I have them all down pretty good. I'm thrilled with just the first three. I can't wait to get to the rest!
