What’s Your Soundtrack?
By Sarah | December 17, 2007
It has been brought to my attention that The Plucky Knitter has lost a bit of its pluck the last couple weeks (point well taken, Mary and Tracy), but, seriously, there are times when life just comes up and slaps you around, and, well, somethings just have to give and the zing of my blog has been one of them. But, things are slowly returning to normal and… in light of that, I thought this would be fun to play along with. If you are reading this, consider yourself tagged.
Feel free to play along. Lifted from Karen …. If your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be?
Here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every section, type the song that’s playing
5. Next section — press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool
Opening Credits: Why Was I Born – Steve Tyrell (Seriously!)
Waking Up: I Love You – Martina McBride
First Day At School: To Sir With Love – Lulu (huh?)

On the knitting front: This close to having my Sedona socks done. Which, can’t come soon enough because I am now obsessed with making Monkeys. And, Flair is languishing a bit (ok, alot….) but it is definitely being brought to the front burner. I think I am just scared of it turning out badly (that and I misplaced the pattern – I know it’s here somewhere!)…. must bite the bullet – it can be done, right? Have a great day ~
