OK, still no pictures of the finished basement, but don't worry. We just have the tiniest amount of touch-up painting to do, and then we see if we can get our couch to fit back through the new doors. If not, it's going to have to be cut into a million pieces and re-assembled on the other side. OK, just kidding, we'll probably just use our tax return for new furniture that does fit, which wouldn't be the end of the world.
Anyway, for today, I wanted to take a page from our friends Amy and Dave and link to a website where you can spend entirely too much time, and which will get any number of songs stuck in your head. I'm talking about the following:
www.joshhosler.biz/NumberOneInHistory/SelectMonth.htm
(And, no, I don't know how to do the linky thing where you go "Click Here!" and it automatically links to the site you want without having to spell it out in its entirety. So deal with it. I am, among many other things, severely technologically impaired.)
Anyway, this site will tell you what the #1 song was on any day of any year. It's most fun to see what was hot the day you were born, but the site suggests you look up the #1 on the day you graduated, the day you were married, and most disturbingly, the day you were conceived. ("You Don't Bring Me Flowers" by Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond for me. Eww.)
Anyway, here are the #1 songs on our dates of birth for the members of our family. What are yours?
Matt: "My Sharona" by The Knack
Jenny: "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes
Madeleine: "Run It" by Chris Brown
Tori: "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" by Soulja Boy
After clicking around the site for a while, I realize (like our pal Amy) that I know almost 100% of the #1's from the 90's, and a lot from the 80's, but for the 00's I'm averaging about 50%. I think that means I used to be cool in the 90's, but now I am just old. In fact, I have no idea what Madeleine's song is, and all I really know about Tori's is that there is some sort of dance craze associated with it. I know. I am lame. But I am really excited to be the old, lame Dad that embarrasses the crap out of his teenage daughters! That is so exciting to me. It's part of the circle of life, as my Dad did the same to me, and I'm sure his Dad did the same to him. "It's the CIRCLE of LIIIFFE! And it moves us ALL!!!"
See, I told you that you'd get songs stuck in your head!

I'm pretty proud to announce that the #1 song on my day of birth was "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John. And now I'm going to giggle about it all day.
Oh, and thanks for my "&".
Ew!! "Conceived date"! Hee hee. But of course I checked anyway. . . "Do you think I'm sexy?" -Rod Stewart. LOL! NAST! (I know you're hearing Mike Myers sing this as the old dad in a scottish accent, right?)
