Madonna's Ray of Light was my song choice today. </div>

So many of her songs are featured in the highlights of my life...

Marit's started the <a href="http://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/?p=9793">Top2000 Party</a> over at her blog! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to make an entrance, so I'm fashionable late... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Not really, but it sounded good, yeah?! LOL!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually, I went across the street at 6 am to see when Starbucks was gonna open, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
locked myself out of my house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't able to get my spare key 'til my friend got up. (Two hours later!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was coupled with my garbage disposal breaking down yesterday,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NO WORRIES, RIGHT?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did get in a great walk and watched the sun come up. </div>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today from the list, I chose UB40's "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You"...</div>

of babies (and adults) being senselessly murdered in Connecticut. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
