Hey guys. I hope no-one else has asked this recently. But I was just wondering what song title describes you and in what way does it describe you. I would have to say for me, it would be sexbomb by Tom Jones, I don’t think I have to explain that, do I? Thankies, Poopsy xxxxxxxx ---

Not so much the title, but the song that best describes my life is “Once in a Lifetime” by the Talking Heads: “You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife…” “You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile, and you may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?” I swear, 10 minutes ago I was a 17 year old kid in college. I blink, and I’m 38 with a good job, a commute, a house, a mortgage, a wife, a kid…how did this happen? My car isn’t big though. I drive a Subaru. ---

“ **What A Wonderful World** ” [sup]LOUIS ARMSTRONG[/sup] This single song possesses all I know how to say when it comes to the beauty of life. Louis was so far ahead of his time in a world that did not welcome him, that I am proud to echo his words. All I might add is merely icing on the cake. ---

Legs by ZZTop 😃 Seriously though. I was such a naive girl in high school, and didn’t realize that long legs were a good thing until I went to college. After that “experience”, I’ve done my best to keep them in shape. Everyone has a ‘best’ feature, that just happens to be mine, hence the best song to describe me. ---
