Camping at 34 weeks pregnant and with a three-year-old. Like a BOSS. Or the village idiot.

I’m back in my hometown for a wedding. These tunes are much appreciated given the car trips and layovers ahead.

Yesterday and today was Over the Air 2012 mobile conf at Bletchley Park and the rest of the long weekend in London for the Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee.
Tomorrow is standing by the Thames River watching a lot of boats go by in the Queen’s honor while drinking in Public.
Can’t do that back home in LA!
Best part is that it is cloudy, rainy and 59F.

At least 50% of those songs are on current rotation in our house – I will now add the other 50%. Thanks for that – new songs are always welcome. Have a great trip!

Excellent mix! I have an amazon mp3 credit and am just in the market for some new tunes to purchase impulsively. This week I’m starting a new fitness plan (lord help) and planning activities for a vacation in Spain at the end of July. woot!

Enjoying the bay area sunshine with friends new and old. Watching boys play basketball in the park. Sipping a surreptitious margarita. Reading a page or two and getting lost in my own thoughts.

Ugh. Lamentably? Freezing my [everything] off at work and counting down the last 10ish minutes till I can haul ass home to a warm apartment and nutritious pizza for dinner with the hubs.
‘Cause I’m a badass like that.
Or something.
(It’s winter here in Melbourne, Australia. It has been bleak and raining ALL DAY. Ack!)
Hope you and Heather had a blast @ MaxFunCon! The playlist is awesomesauce.

Brilliant playlist! You should absolutely think about adding “Bam Bam” by King Charles. It is RIDICULOUS and great. (Right? Have you heard it? I cannot seem to stop listening to it. Or hearing that BOM BOM refrain in my head.)

This list is awesome, Maggie! A good playlist always helps to make time fly (or speed along a little faster) on the road.

Okay, the next time you are doing something like this I call backseat. (I used to call shotgun, but the backseat is so much better for napping, and no one asks me to navigate. So.)
You make the best playlists.
