I always seem to have a song stuck in my head and why is it that most of the time it is an annoying one (ex. Born This Way by Lady Gaga...ugh) In my attempt to combat the annoying songs on the radio that get stuck in my head I have recently purchased some awesome new tunes. And let me say these tunes are a lot of fun to roll down the windows on a sunny summer day and rock out to. My sister always asks me to make her a CD's because I have probably the world's most wide range of music. Latin, Rap, Broadway, Alternative, Bluegrass....you name it I probably have it. (I am the same way about movies but that is another story)
Since it is almost summer and it is so very important to have that summer soundtrack here are some of the top songs that I am currently obsessed with/Songs stuck in my head. They are also useful to run/workout with, I just ran 3 miles today (yeah me!!!) and these tunes helped me run like the wind....so here you are
First up:
Little Too Much - Natasha Bedingfield
Hannah was annoyed because I played this song on repeat while she was here probably a thousand times, but it is an awesome song and a great one to sing to while driving with the windows down on a nice summer day
The Cave - Mumford & Sons
What do you get when you put a Guitar + Chello + Banjo + Accordion together? Pure awesomeness in music form. A very unique sound that makes me happy whenever I hear it!
Arena - Con Bro Chill
This youtube phenomenon was shown to me by my younger brother and it is the perfect song to use when you need to be pumped up, and the perfect song to keep you running after two miles. It is by far my fav workout song. And a funny video to watch.
Wavin' Flag - K'naan
In memory of the epic summer of soccer last year with the World Cup (VIVA ESPAÑA) I listen to this song and it is one of my all time favorites. If this doesn't get you excited to go and kick a soccer ball around or go out and play something, well then you are a cotton headed niggy muggins!
I am warning you because these songs are very addictive and easy to get stuck in your head, where you may be forced to have them on repeat and annoy everyone around you who may be listening. Now go out and enjoy some of the nice weather that has finally graced us with its presence!

I'm too young and beautiful to die!
This past weekend I went to Cincinnati to visit Bex. Lots of things happened, the most important of which is that Bex and I learned about The Rapture*. We were driving to Mass on Saturday night when we saw this billboard:
Well, shoot. We don't have a lot of time, do we? Bex and I made sure to warn everyone we saw that weekend, and we also sent out a few text messages to people that we thought might want to hear the message. The world ending is a really big deal, people!
Once I realized that I only have a few days left before I am taken up in The Rapture, I began to think about the things I am going to miss on this Earth, particularly things that I will not have the chance to see/experience before May 21, 2011. I decided to make a list, so here it is:
Hannah's List of Things I am Sad I Will Miss Because of the Rapture:
1. Bex's 24th birthday. Obviously this is very important! I mean, I guess it is nice that I will not have to purchase a birthday gift for her, but still very sad that we will not be ushering her into her mid-20s here on Earth.
2. Babies! My next trip out to San Diego is planned for July, which means I won't get to see Isaac and Ian**, aka the world's cutest babies, ever again. PLUS, May 21 is way before July 11, which means I won't get to witness the birth of my sister's first child!
3. Another Red Sox World Series win. This is clearly a real tragedy.
4. Living with Jessie and Allison. For those of you who don't know, Jessie is Bex's sister and Allison is their household sister. They are both super cool and I am supposed to move in with them in August but thanks to the stupid Rapture this will never happen.
5. Brown Babies! I am not supposed to go back to Ecuador until next year. This means no more holding beautiful, big-eyed, brown Ecuadorian babies, ever again! Gee thanks, Rapture!
6. Christmas. If I had known last year would be the last Christmas ever I totally would have done things a lot differently.
7. The capture of Osama bin Laden. I was really hoping this would happen in my lifetime. Oh wait, nevermind.
8. This blog becoming world famous. One of my life's goals was to have a world famous blog that even Taylor Swift would read, but unless she finds this in 11 days or less my dreams will never come true.
9. Seeing Bex again. Oh my gosh. Typing that has made this all too real. I am going to go cry in a corner now.
So, as you can see I am going to be missing out on a lot because on May 21, 2011, Jesus is going to carry me to Heaven in a spaceship. I will be updating my thoughts on this as the time gets closer.

*The Rapture is an entirely unbiblical concept and the We Can Know website is the biggest crock of shhh that I have seen in a long time.

Bex is Better
I'm at work. The night's been pretty slow (crossing my fingers that it stays that way) so I am taking a little break from my charting to talk about some of the incredible things I have learned and experienced over the past few days.
First of all, my best friend is the BEST best friend of all the best friends in the world. Her name is Bex and if you meet her it will change your life forever. Here is why:
1. She will introduce you to (and by 'introduce' I mean 'force you to watch') TV shows that you never knew existed before, or if you knew they existed you probably thought they were stupid, but Bex will teach you otherwise. For example, Psych and Project Runway are actually very good shows. Fun for the whole family! Fun for two girls who are feeling really lazy and are still in their pajamas at 3pm...
1b. She will also watch a whole episode of Ellen with you just so you can see your sister in the audience for 30 seconds.
2. She will make you workout with her even if you don't want to but she will tell you it's not because you're fat or anything, it's just because you need something to do and it will make you feel better.
3. She will teach you how to make the best sandwich in the world. It contains: turkey, mayo, feta, tomato, red onion, lettuce and balsamic vinagrette. You will take one bite and pray that you never have to stop eating this sandwich.
4. She will give you a back massage that will make you cry in pain but in the end you feel better. She's all about making you feel better.
5. She will tell you when you are being stupid about boys without being mean about it, except when you are being really stupid, then she will smack some sense into you.
So, as you can see, my best friend is cooler than yours and you should probably be pretty jealous of me. I need to get back to charting, but stay tuned for my next post. Bex and I have received some exclusive information about the impending rapture. Watch out!

Sporcle
To say that Hannah and I are best friends is an understatement. We are weird, wacky and awesome and one evening over our long distance late night text messages we decided to share our awesome-ness with the world and start a blog. So look out world we have arrived.
Life in Cincinnati this week has been more fun filled because the one and only Miss María Elena José has come to visit me!!! To the rest of the world you may know her as Hannah Raymond. I have been trying to give her the full Queen City treatment full of Skyline chili, rain, Reds game (they are on the road so it was on TV), cloudy weather, the Ohio River, cold weather, Mount Adams, and the sun did grace us with its presence on a few certain occasions. In between all our jaunts around the city I have exposed her to the glorious world of Sporcle. For those of you who don't know what sporcle is, it is a website that will change your life. It is a website that can get you through a dragging night shift, or bummin' around the house on a really rainy day when TV just can't cut it anymore. They are mentally stimulating and fun to do by yourself or a group of people. Ever since I have shown it to Hannah, basically I have created a monster. She is intent on dominating all the Harry Potter quizzes. She will readily admit to the fact she is obsessed with it now. I know you now want to go and see what all the hoop-la is about and I encourage you because your life will never be the same. I mean can you name off the top of your head the top 30 countries that have the highest goat population? No well try it in under 4 minutes. And that is the awesome-ness of sporcle.
So one of the many things I made Hannah do was workout with me :) She grumbled the whole time and in addition to the fact I was dragging her to the gym, I dressed her like me. Now if you went to Ecuador with us or have hung out with us a lot you will remember that we like to be alike in numerous ways and sometimes we intentionally dress alike and other times we don't. Anywho this was us post workout looking cute as always. I have to run to mass in a few so....
Until las gemelas strike again!
