I have a theme song this year. It is what gets me out the door in the morning on bad days. Jeremiah will actually play it to get me moving. I sing the chorus to myself. I pump myself up by playing it in the car.
Here's the From the Vault part...
At Record Store Day in April, I picked up a Florence and the Machine single. I like to pick one album that I am not too sure of and check it out.
When we got home, I had Jeremiah put it on the record player (I refuse to touch the record player out of fear of breaking it.) and I immediately fell in love with the song.
It is captivating. It has never failed to release me from whatever funk I have fallen into. I dance, I sing, it's a beautiful thing, if only to me. You know how Phoebe runs like a child on Friends? That's how I dance and sing to this. Completely free. Slightly possessed.
If you are lucky enough to have already heard the song and/or you know Flo, then I welcome you to sing along. And dance. I won't judge you.
If you are already wanting more, here is my second favorite song. Not my anthem, but fun all the same. This song results in a lot of clapping if I am in the car and a lot of jumping if I am able to stand.
Dog Days are Over
Happy Friday, Friends.
Anyone else have an anthem? Please share.
It doesn't have a lot of trees, animals, or any big lakes, but it does have its perks. Sunshine every day and a daily forecast of warm or hot. This has two benefits. One, getting dressed is a snap. Two, every day is sandal day! Arizona isn't perfect, but it is where we are currently calling home. We are just two youngsters from the Midwest, trying to survive in the desert. And this is our story.

I love this album. It is one of the few I can listen to over and over again.
