Things that made me cry...
...on the way to my parents' house today. (Because no one reads this thing on Friday afternoons anyway.)
Oh, wait, before I make my list I have to tell you that I MEANT to listen to the rosary thing I downloaded to my iPod, but I couldn't figure out how to just listen to the rosary (well, I could, just not WHILE I WAS DRIVING) and it's rather distracting having your rosary interrupted by Justin Timberlake. So I figured God would give me a pass, at least until the drive home.
- When Galinda is singing about how she couldn't be happier, even though you know she's not happy at all, because what's his name is with Elphaba and waaaaahhhh POOR GALINDA. Now. Who cries for Galinda? WHO?
- The live version of 'This World' by Caedmon's Call. Does that band still exist? Are there other bands like them? If Christian radio ever played anything besides the gospelly and rock bandy stuff I might actually pay attention.
- I cried through all of 'The Luckiest' by Ben Folds. Have you LISTENED to that song? And the whole time I was all, am I The Luckiest because I have Jackson? No wait, I'm The Luckiest because I have Phillip and let's mentally draft that 5th anniversary post a whole four months ahead of time! Baaaawwwwwllll!
- Jamie Cullum's version of 'High and Dry'. I don't know. Whatever.
- A chapter of Harry Potter. What? You don't have the Harry Potter books loaded onto your iPod? I don't even remember what happens, but it was sniffle-worthy. Someone probably died.
- 'When I Get Where I'm Going' by Brad Paisley featuring Dolly Parton. I think this is the musical equivalent of a movie about a woman who gets cancer and dies right before she gets married. It's just SUPPOSED to make you cry.
- 'Toxic' by Britney Spears. Because it made me think about POOR BRITNEY and you guys, I know she wears those ripped up fishnet stockings and can't figure out how to use a hairbrush and has aged twenty years in the last six months, but I feel for poor Britney. Also, I can listen to 'Toxic' on repeat for hours, such is the awesomeness that is that song.
Anyway. Hormonal much?
Oh, and I have to tell you that as I sit here typing (because J is sleeping and I forgot half of the stuff I need to make the baby shower invitations I should have mailed out yesterday), my dad is sitting on the couch listening to Harry Potter on HIS iPod. How awesome is my dad? WAY AWESOME.

I need to get Harry Potter loaded on my iPod. Wait, I don't have an iPod.
Okay, get iPod, get Harry Potter.
I listen to books on tape/CD in the car, but I don't have Harry Potter yet. (Too expensive.) I am listening to The Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson. Have you read that? Excellent book.

Oh my gosh, you cried to Toxic? I guess I can follow your logic, but that is the twee-est bit giggle worthy! If it makes you feel better, just remember that her extensions nowadays are a VAST improvement over what has been on her head for the past year. See, she's getting better!
(Also, I cry to Galinda singing about how happy she is too... it's SAD man!)

Hey, I read on Friday afternoons! I have nothing to say about the crying though - but TOXIC? Really?? I suppose you can be forgiven, you are pregnant with a 9 month old. :)

Don't feel bad...you have an excuse for being emotional. I cry at Sonic commercials if it happens to be the right time of the month. Or if I'm sleep deprived, which is the case right now. Are babies supposed to get bloodshot eyes? I'm SO convinced that she's not sleeping enough.

Love Caedmon's Call. And The Luckiest was our wedding song. That is all.
Except, wait, I do also have a thing for Brad Paisley. I like him ALMOST enough to forgive him for naming his son Huckleberry.

I listen to Harry Potter on my "iPod" (it's a Creative Zen Micro, actually) ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY. And that is probably why I have never heard "Luckiest" and have no idea who Brad Paisley is. But I KNOW WHO JIM DALE IS.

Ok. This World...The Luckiest. LOVE THOSE TWO. And yes, that Ben Folds song makes me cry every time. I sing it to Christopher when I'm rocking him before bed at night. He's going to grow up thinking that sniffles are just a part of the lyrics, I think.

The Brad Paisley song..yeah tear jerker. We actually used it on the video at my dad's funeral so now it really gets me...He was a huge Dolly fan : )
Cry all you want to Mama!

My sister's amazing singer friend sang The Luckiest at her wedding and dedicated it to me because it's my favorite song. We both stood up there with all the guests watching us from the pews and sobbed. Apparently our little moment of sisterly love was touching, because we made everyone in the church cry.

Yeah for being pregnant and crying all the time! Unfortunately, being a mom makes me cry all the time too. Like last night when we were watchign the first SNL broadcast since the writers' strike and I started tearing up. LOL>
