Have a theme song!

Nothing picks me up faster than a song stuck in my head, well, depending on the song I guess. Normally it's the cute jingle of Backyardigans, Little Bear, or Clifford the Big Red Dog. WonderPets, Curious George... the list goes on for days. I blog in my head while I walk in the mornings and today I realized that I need a Theme Song for my own episode of life. Lyrics that pick me up, that describe where I'm at (metiforically), with a bouncy fast good beat to walk to... exploding with confidence.

Years ago on Ally McBeal a whole episode was devoted to it. Not long after that, my man burned a CD for me of "Tracy" by the Cufflinks. "...Tracy when I'm with you, something you do, bounces me off the ceiling... Tracy day after day when you're this way, I get a loving feeling. Come with me, Don't say no, hold me close, Tracy never let me go -o - o- " I'm not so sure that would still be my "themesong" here are a few in the running:

KT Tunstall... Suddenly I See... "everything around her is a silver pool of light... suddenly I see this is what I want to be... suddenly I see why the hell it means so much me."

Melissa Ethridge... I'm the Only One. "I've been there before and I'm locking the door and I'm not going back there again... It's only fear that makes you run, the demons that you're hiding from, when all your promises are gone, I'm the only one."

Sugarland, Bon Jovie, Dave Matthews, Dixie Chicks, Tom Petty.... they're all reliable sources for inspiration.

I'm building myself a new playlist... Theme Songs. One that doesn't have cartoon characters associated with it!!! Any suggestions??? Walk on baby!
