"In the Still of the Night..."

"In the Still of the Night" is one of my favorite songs from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack AND the way that I traveled to Auburn, AL last night!

After work, I had the bright idea of going to Auburn since my sister said that it was a "ghost town" for the long weekend. I remember those weekends when no one was around as being among the most lonely, so I got in my car and drove the 5 hours to Auburn, Alabama! 

We have done all kinds of fun touristy things today!

Happy September y'all! Enjoy your long weekend!

Songs That Give You Goosebumps: A Playlist

It's rare that I enjoy a trending topic on Twitter. They're typically offensive, racist, or downright stupid and hardly ever worth contributing to. I did however, indulge in one a few days back that I realized, when put together into a list, looked a lot like a playlist!

#SongsThatGiveYouGoosebumps was trending and I got a kick out of that one! So I contributed. And kept contributing. Until I formed quite the mini-playlist!

Here is my list of Songs That Give You Goosebumps and few extras that didn't quite make it to Twitter:

1. "Dream a Little Dream of Me" by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong

2. "In the Still of the Night" by the Five Satins (can anyone name the movie that makes this famous in my book? I quote it often and it has an alliterative name!)

3. "L-O-V-E" by Nat King Cole (name that movie!)

4. "Big Green Tractor" by Jason Aldean

5. "Sandstorm" by Darude (a la Mean Girls, "I'm a Gamecock, duh.")

6. "I'll Be Seeing You" by Billie Holiday

7. "Whiskey and You" by Darius Rucker

8. "Someone to Watch Over Me" by Ella Fitzgerald

9. "You Are The Best Thing" by Ray Lamontagne

10. "Hey Daddy" by Usher

11. "That Summer" by Garth Brooks

12. "Dancing in the Moonlight" by Toploader (again, name this movie!)

13. "This Magic Moment" by Ben E. King

14. "Someone Else Callin' You Baby" by Luke Bryan 

15. "Chasin' Whiskey" by Julie Roberts

16. "Stay With You" by John Legend

17. "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston (#PinchProbs)

18. "I'm Gonna Find Another You" by John Mayer

19. "I'm Movin' On" by Rascal Flatts

20. "Love in a College Town" by Luke Bryan

What are you "Goosebumps Songs"?

Best Movie Weekend

Anyone who follows me on Twitter knows how excited I was about all the movies on this weekend! I hung out at home this weekend while most Gamecocks were in Charlotte for the season opener and watched a bunch of movies before and after the game. It all started with Titanic:

Titanic (obviously, this goes without saying)

The next morning, Dirty Dancing came on

After Dirty Dancing, Grease was on--my absolute favorite movie of all time

(Grease 2 was next, but I'm NOT a big fan of this movie and did Operations Management homework instead.)

Last, but certainly not least, after dinner Sweet Home Alabama came on.

SO MANY GOOD MOVIES to choose from--with TV like this, who even needs Netflix?!
