Might As Well Jump

I woke up so early on Saturday that I ended up eating two breakfasts. The first was my go to cereal, a bowl of Cheerios with a sliced banana. Even though the blog never sees em, I assure you Cheerios are a staple in my pantry.
Complete with a decent pour of 2% milk.
I was up at the crack of dawn. Which for me, on a Saturday, means about 8:00. From that fact you can gather what my Friday night consisted of: nothing. Not necessarily a bad thing. Well, I did eat a lovely tomato mozzarella plate for dinner, drank some chilled white wine and had a vanilla milkshake with chocolate sauce for dessert! The rest of my Saturday morning, besides a few miscellaneous organizings here and there consisted of a whole lot more of nothing! Nothing but laziness on the couch watching SYTYCD (I want Lauren to win!) and GH. When 11:30 rolled around I decided I was going to get my lazy self to the gym. I needed fuel, and since it was technically still morning, I whipped up some fancy scrambled eggs. Two eggs with mozzarella & cheddar cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms & onions. This hit the spot and further enhanced my gym motivation.
After my workout I walked home through Faneuil Hall where a FoodShouldTasteGood rep was handing out free samples of Multigrain Torialla chips and Tribe hummus. Score!I love these chips and the hummus was delish!
It was a gorgeous day, so after a few errands I plopped down in the park to relax. I hang out here a lot!
Don't get all excited, I wasn't shopping for myself. Inside the Banana Republic bag is a birthday gift for Adam's Mom. I'm still feeling the blow from my Anthropologie purchases a couple weeks ago.Warm temps and a cool breeze made for a relaxing afternoon. Blue skies filled with fluffy clouds made for some pretty pictures. Later on Adam and I enjoyed some beers on the roof deck. I didn't bring my camera up, but as you can imagine, the evening was just as gorgeous as the afternoon was. We drank the rest of my Hoegaarden 6-pack. and then switched to Bud Light.
When we came downstairs we listened to the jams on TV and played cards.ew.So what I'm saying is we had a party, just the two of us. Above: Madonna - "Like a Prayer" and The Miami Sound Machine / Gloria Estefan - "Bad Boys."
Also on the play list:
- Rick Springfield - "Jesse's Girl"
- "Solid, Solid As a Rock" (No idea who, but you know those lyrics, right?!)
- Culture Club - "Karma Chameleon"
- Whitney Houston - "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"
- Van Halen "Jump"
uh huh. What is your favorite 80's jam?

Van Halen is Adam's all time favorite band. This statement then prompted us to list our favorite musicians - can be a band, a duo/group, or an individual. It started with top 5. Here are mine in no particular order.
1) Outkast
2) Steely Dan
3) Paul Simon
4) Vampire Weekend
5) Citizen Cope
I was missing a few favorites, so I decided we should list our top 10.
6) James Taylor
7) Lost Boyz
8) Jurassic 5
9) A Tribe Called Quest
10) The Roots

I dunno, When you get to #'s 8/9/10 I could substitute. Sting as an individual is up there, as are The Police. So are Dispatch, Modest Mouse and The Eels. And probably some others I am forgetting.

Needless to say it was a fun night! And I'm not even hungover today. Beer, Beer, in the clear. Or something.

Who are your top 5 (or 10) musicians / bands / groups?
