Hold up! You didn't want to listen to Frozen that many times? I'm not even being sarcastic right now when I say we have listened to that nonstop since Christmas and I have loved it every single time!! I still belt it out right along with the girls. In fact, I had to reborn the CD for the car, found out after I had that 'Do you want to build a snowman' was no longer on the playlist, scolded my kids for being irresponsible and wasteful by messing up my iTunes playlists and then was humbled 90 seconds later when I realized that I had left a pot of eggs boiling on the stove before we left for piano. So, 5 wasted eggs, 1 good neighbor who ran over and turned them off before the house burnt down, 2 bags of bulbs to thank her with and 652 times I've listened to Frozen.

1- number of me not clever enough in the moment to post witty comments about life
