Crabby and loved by some asks us all:
1. Total amount of music files on your computer:
1651 songs –v7.05 GB — 4.4 days (so far)
2. The last CD you bought was:
That I bought myself was Alison Kraus “Brand New Dance” but Brett buys me CDs (the latest being Sondheim’s first musical “Saturday Night”) and I buy music online (Jolie Holland’s album) and my friend just let me rip several of her CDs including the Belle & Sebastian I then took home in my computer by mistake.
3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?
This Monkey’s Gone to Heaven by The Pixies
4. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
–The Gospel According to Darkness by Jane Siberry (because it reminds me of my mom)
–Angels by The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy (because it reminds me of my youth)
–Summertime as sung by Sarah Vaughan (or Noah) (because it’s so damn beautiful)
–Child of Mine by Mae Robertson (because it reminded me of my kids even before I had any)
–Swing by Ani DiFranco (because it reminds me of J)
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.

I love Ani - but poor J! What a heart-wrenching song.
