Mid Week Music Choices

I apologize for my lack of blog updates lately. It's been a busy week/weeks.

Taking a road trip to OKC this weekend to be there for a very dear college roommate's wedding. I'm looking forward to the reunion of us girls and even more, I'm excited to see the look on her fiance's face when she walks down that aisle.

She'll be a bridal beauty for sure.

So since I'm taking a 9 hour drive split between tomorrow (stopping in Dallas to hold my new "nephew") and Friday morning, I'm preparing a playlist of quality music. Here are some of my choices:

The Avett Brothers - "Murder in the City"

The Civil Wars - "To Whom It May Concern"

The Head and The Heart - "Cats and Dogs"

MidWeek Music Choice

If you know me, you know I enjoy a cover song just as much as the original. So when Glee aired a cover of Coldplay's "Fix You" I immediately downloaded the song from iTunes.

Glee Cast Version of Coldplay's "Fix You"

In the spirit of a great cover song, I share with you some of my favorite covers:

All Time Low version of Rihanna's "Umbrella"

Eva Cassidy version of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time"

Coldplay version of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"

John Mayer version of Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'"

Workin' on my Fitness

I'm taking a Physical Fitness Test in a few months, maybe sooner, and I can't seem to pull out 12 of these 4" push-ups. (I need to be able to do at least 12 of them to get a score higher than 0.)

I've never really had great upper body strength, and every time I try to pull myself up or use my arms to carry my body weight.... I fail. Miserably. Ugh, just the thought of failure makes me want to pull out the baking pans and make myself a BIG.CHOCOLATE.CAKE.

But instead of eating emotionally, I'll lace the Nike's and prepare myself for this long, but hopefully, rewarding, journey that I've got ahead of me.
