How my iPod changed my life.

My Darling Husband exposed me to an iPod when we first starting dating and proceeded to buy me one for my birthday 3 years ago. He never explained the ramifications that come with having an iPod. I am constantly searching for songs that can serve as a soundtrack to my life. If I'm running, Fergie runs with me. If I'm showering, usually Greenday is lathering up with me. Am I grocery shopping today? Sugarland comes along. 

Well what I'm getting at is, along with the fascination of my life's soundtrack, I've also turned into a lyric lover. I love finding songs that artists have written that fit my current mood, stage, or chapter in life. So, in light of my new blog, I thought I would share what I am currently listening to on the beloved iPod. 

"Fix You" - Coldplay
"Halo" - Beyonce
"Hometown Glory" - ADELE
"You Belong With Me" - Taylor Swift
"Come a Little Closer" - Dierks Bentley 
"You and Me" - Dave Matthews Band
"Never Say Never" - The Fray
"If You're Wondering if I You To ( I Want You To)" - Weezer
"It Happens" - Sugarland

It is so refreshing to find a song that has all the words you have been struggling to find. 
It is also, comforting to know that someone "gets" that I-am-doing-everything-in-my-power-not-to-fall-apart feeling. 
And yes, it is encouraging to know that you are not alone. 

So when I find myself excited about good news, down on my luck, or frustrated with chores, AND all by myself - I turn to the MANY friends I have on my iPod. NO - it doesn't replace a hug, laugh, or shoulder to cry on, but in a pinch - it helps. 

This thing called the music industry isn't a billion dollar one for nothing...

  1. LOL LOVE IT! I too am attached to my ipod. My hubby got me one for mother's day and I tell you best gift ever! That thing has saved me from a toddler throwing a massive tantrum (I have put Dora, Super Readers, & ofc Hannah Montana on my ipod for Kiana), got me through the looooong waits at the doctors office, filled my dancing moods, but also uplifted me through some rough moments. I totally recommend running to Green Day. It's perfect running music.

  2. Haha - there should be a blog about how iPods run our lives.

    I never, EVER leave home without it. Too, funny. I know MANY Mom's that have done the same thing. Their Kid Playlist saves them from long car rides, shots, and bed time nightmares.

    What would we do without them!?
