Apparently Jamz and Jammin' are code words for "you're old" :( A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon a "new" radio station while I was driving to the mall. It was a beautiful day. I had the sunroof open and the two little ones were asleep in their car seats in the back of my Escape. Growing bored of the same ole country songs, I tuned the radio to 105.9 just in time to hear the end of "Little Red Corvette". The next song was my jam-"Don't Walk Away" by Jade- and all of a sudden I was back on I5 south headed to the border, looking good and high on life. I danced with the steering wheel and belted out the lyrics that I hadn't heard in a good 5 years, careful not to wake my babies (wow, time had changed things a little). The next song was Ace of Base! I almost called Shawn! This station was too good to be true!
Of course it was. After "All That She Wants" was over, the promo for the station came on..."Jammin 106...All your jamz from way back in the day." :((( WAY BACK IN THE DAY??? That can't be right! I wasn't even alive way back in the day! Whatever. I kept listening because, well, those were my jamz. Later that day, I went to pick up Emma. I was still listening to Jammin 106 when she got in the car. About a half a block into the ride home (and after hearing me sing along to the radio), Emma says "Mom, how do you know these songs? Are they from way back when you were young?" Kill me now :(

Oh my, revenge is so sweet! Your mother and I remember when you did the same thing to us!!! See how it feels? We used to be singing what? In A Gada Da Vida? Stairway to Heaven? Court and Spark? You would roll your eyes and call us wierd, your mom's very favorite word. Oh yes, this is just perfect. Thanks for making my day. I LOVE the new pictures of Vin and Ava!
xxoo Gid
Ok, I realize you posted this a WAY long time ago but I'm just now getting into your old blog entries - you're a crazy addictive blogger like me!
And I hear ya on feeling old - who knew all our favorite songs are old jams from back in the day? In the day, like YESTERDAY??? I refuse to feel old.
