Friday Fives!

FRIDAY FIVES

5 people I wouldn't mind to meet and why:

1. Dolly Parton because I think she is classy. I think she is passionate, has a great big ol' heart and doesn't take poop from the industry. I love her music and own the album pictured. The song "Little Sparrow" is very beautiful and gave me chills when I heard her perform it at an awards show (years ago when i used to waste my time watching any award show)

2. Back in the days that I used Facebook, I told a lot of folks about this cute little lady and her band Laurie Berkner! I got lots of fun and good feedback and even pledges to seek out and buy her music. Alas, although I wanted to partake of a CD for myself, I never bought one until... my very special friends Lori, Jim and Allister (hmm....sp?) gave Evan and Cora the greatest hits one and WE LOVE IT TO PIECES! Some of my favorite songs: "Fast and Slow" based on the story of the tortoise and the hare, "Boots", "Laurie's got a pig on her head" (it's the chorus at least), "Moon, Moon, Moon" (perhaps my very very very very very very favorite children's song and Evan is already singing along!) among others. They are very fun catchy children's songs and Evan is totally into it meaning Cora is totally into watching and listening to Evan being into it, meaning MOM LOVES LAURIE and wants to meet her! I want to tell her in person how impressed I am that she's found this niche in children's music and went for it.

3. Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba. I would love to meet any of the characters but Brobee really is constantly the underdog, therefore I'm forced to feel sorry for him. :) I would like to meet him because Evan loves "YO" or "Yo Gabba Gabba" and it entertains him when I need some ME time.

4. If I was to really care about celebrity (which I really am no longer impressed in general) it would have to be someone like John and Joan Cusack. John because I'm loyal to him for the movies he made in the 80's and 90's and his sister Joan (this is a beautiful picture of her!) because she is a mother and sweet actress. I once read she for that time she was only making movies in her native Chicago so she didn't have to travel away from her family/kids. WHO does that?! So, IF I was to like celebrity's it would be this brother sister duo. I would just like to have some hot cocoa together and ask about their family growing up, have a play date with our kids and give each other a hug in the end. :)

5. Chelsie Hightower from So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars. She is very talented and a great role model to young women that you can be competitive, sexy, MORAL, athletic and quality purpose driven. I think she has a great attitude and would love to sit with her and just hang out, maybe set her up with my brother Isaac if he isn't swooned with girls when he comes home from his mission next year cause I think he's a catch too. :) xoxo
