FINALLY, spring is really here after a couple of false starts. I was driving around this morning and noticed that the temperature outside was a fabulous 66 degrees! That meant only one thing at that moment: Time to open up the sunroof for the very first time this year! Yippee! Naturally I needed a soundtrack, and luckily I had some of my favorite “warm weather driving” songs readily available. I started with this one: I then went to this one: And then this one: I took my time running my errands…what a glorious drive around town!

Most of You Didn’t Have a Chance.
Each and every one of you was close but not as specific as I was looking for…LOL It was actually a trick question, because nobody except for my sister could have remotely guessed the exact answer, and either she didn’t figure it out or she did but didn’t want to put it out there in the universe.

(Janice and Joe-prah, I may work on photoshopping the fam into the header eventually, when I get more spare time! LOL) What I’m talking about is I just this morning took the test on that freakin’ book, and by passing (ahem, with flying colors!), I completed the last of my continuing ed credits for renewing my ACE Group Fitness Instructor Certification, which happens to expire in 8 days!
