Just My Imagination

Okay, a few days have passed and I'm sure it was all in my head when I felt cuts from the glass (previous post). It was just my imagination. And speaking of imagination, over the weekend I heard an old song by the Temptations--Just My Imagination. I've heard it before, but forgot how much I like the first 20 seconds or so of music (the music starts at the 10 second mark). It's very cool. Usually I'm a sucker for acoustic guitar, but I really like the sound of the electric guitars in this. Plus, how often do you hear a xylophone? I'm linking a video for the first time--so you can hear that intro and maybe hang around a little longer to take a look back at how "boy bands" dressed way back when. LOL

In addition to that great intro, there's an amazing line in the song:

"To have a girl like her, is truly a dream come true."

Also very cool--just like my readers! It's too bad the guy in the song isn't doing anything to meet the girl. "Faint heart never won fair lady." Right?

  4. I didn't ask how you turn the car seat around but the base is detachable from the baby seat portion so I'm sure it flips around somehow. We're planning on stopping by our local fire station and asking them. I guess they can show you how to install those types of things. Who knew?
