If you don't follow Laurie and the gang over at the itty bitty kitty committee, you should. You definitely get your daily dose of cute. She does a great job fostering kitties. It's a good thing I don't live in the Sea-Tac area because my house would be overrun with ibkc alumni. She somehow manages to wrangle the cutest kitties in the world. Every year the ibkc participates in a fundraiser to raise money for the Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce Counties. They have managed to raise so much money and it goes to great things. They were able to raise enough money last year to help build a quarantine area for incoming cats. Such amazing things happen. The fundraiser has started again this year. Every penny helps. If you have a few spare dollars, please consider helping them reach their goal this year. And if nothing else, spend some time reading through her blog. I promise your head will explode from the cute.

30 Songs Challenge - Day 30
Here it is - the last day, last challenge, last song. Today's challenge - my favorite song at this time last year. Hey, Soul Sister by Train. I still like this song, I haven't grown too tired of it. Love the band. One of the best concerts I've ever been to was Matchbox Twenty and Train at Jones Beach. They were amazing.

30 Songs Challenge - Day 29
Today's challenge was another fun one. A song from my childhood. There are so many songs from my childhood. I grew up in the 80s so there's lots to choose from. I'm going to go with something from New Kids on the Block. They were the first concert I went to. The Right Stuff - New Kids on the Block.

30 Songs Challenge - Day 28
A song that makes me feel guilty. Well, I already admitted to my love of Britney Spears. What other guilty pleasure is out there? I'm trying to think of other CDs I own that I would cringe over other people knowing about. How about the Grease 2 soundtrack. Yup. I own it. I LOVE this movie.

30 Songs Challenge - Day 27
Today's challenge was slightly easier than yesterday's - a song that I wish I could play. I really would love to learn to play the piano. I've always wanted to learn. I think it's such a beautiful instrument. As far as classical music goes, I've always been partial to Beethoven. I would love to learn to play Pathetique.

30 Songs Challenge - Day 26
Today's challenge was hard - a song you can play on an instrument. I don't currently play an instrument. I used to play clarinet a long long time ago back in elementary school. I don't remember many of the songs. My sister used to have a keyboard that you could slide a disk into and you could follow the lights on the keyboard to play a song. She had a Beatles disk so I learned to play Hey Jude. As long as I could follow the lights it sounded okay.

30 Songs Challenge - Day 25
This one was fun. The challenge for Day 25 was a song that makes you laugh. I immediately thought of Cupid's Chokehold by Gym Class Heroes. This song makes me grin every time I hear it.

30 Songs Challenge - Day 24
A song you want played at your funeral. Kind of morbid. This one was hard. No one really wants to think about their death, or dying. Hmmm. I Will Remember You by Sarah Mclachlan is a really pretty song and one of my all time favorites.

30 Songs Challenge - Day 23
Today's challenge was kind of fun - a song you want played at your wedding. I've had this one in my head forever. I'm a single girl, I love thinking about what-ifs in the event that I someday actually get married. Sara Evans - I Could Not Ask For More.

30 Songs Challenge - Day 22
Today's song was hard - one that I listen to when I'm sad. I'm not sad a lot, and as I said in a previous post most of my music listening happens in the car. I'm not one to listen to music at home when I'm in a particular mood. On the occasion I am sad and I happen to be in the car, I turn to Don Henley - End of the Innocence.
