Thank You Notes: Prince & My Princess

I love Fridays, I love thank you notes, and I love Jimmy Fallon’s Thank You Notes, so, naturally, Friday here on my blog means:

Thank You Notes and Jimmy Fallon!

Thank you, Jimmy!

Thank You Notes

Thank you, Prince. Prince was such a big part of my childhood. His records were played often and posters of him hung in my room, my sister was in love with him. I listened to him with her, it was a bonding experience to listen to Prince with my big sister. Whenever I hear Prince I think of my big sister, my childhood, and of course When Dove’s Cry.

Maybe I’m just too demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father too bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied…..

I cannot believe he is gone. I was honestly hoping to hear this was some sick hoax.

Our class anthem…

Two thousand zero zero party over oops,
Out of time
No, no (Tonight I’m gonna)
So tonight we gonna (party like it’s 1999)

Thank you, week, for flying by. I know I’m usually all… this week went by too fast and time needs to slow down, but not this week, nope. This week my husband was working out of town and had to commute back and fourth, which I hate. The whole reason we live where we live is because 1) good schools 2) good neighborhood and 3) closeness to my husband’s job. I’ve been on the roads here, I’m not a fan of my husband having a long commute, but hey, it could be worse. He could be in another country for a year… we’ve been there before.

Thank you, my little ray of sunshine, for being such an awesome role model for your sister and brother. Keep pushing!

This strong little woman (see previous post) has been making me proud for 14 years. Yesterday she blew me away! She ran in her first track meet (40 minutes away) & hurried home (from her last event) to get ready in time to walk on stage as soon as her name was called to be inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. Proving once again she’s a rockstar with the most amazing drive & work ethic (I couldn’t even fathom at 14). The force is strong with this one ? My sunshine. ? #whoruntheworldgirls

Who or what gets a thank you note from you this week? What was your favorite Prince song or memory?

Did you catch my Currently {April} post? I know you want to know what I’ve been up to, right? 🙂
