Last year I quickly adopted my friend Becky's idea of creating an autobiographical mix as a gift idea. It's fun to make, instantly personalized, and entertaining when you get other friends involved.
What a great way to save a few pennies on Christmas gifts, too.
Here's my mix for 2011:
OMG by Usher - In tribute to my middle school dance team girls, they killed it!
Love's Not by Mars Ill - For a very memorable lesson I gave during my first few weeks of teaching.
Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson - I gave a lesson on this song at one point, too and really feel it sums up my first teaching position.
I Never Told You by Colbie Caillat - One of my 8th graders sang this as part of a presentation she gave last spring. It was the most beautiful performance I'd ever witnessed and brought me to tears.
Personal Jesus by Johnny Cash - Heard this version of the song in the car when on vacation in Oregon. Just stayed with me.
The Tracks of My Tears by Dolly Parton - I am a recently converted Dolly fan. Sorry.
Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band - Really love this song because of this line: "pair or jeans that fit just right..."
Wild World by Cat Stevens - Because it is.
Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters by Elton John - Something from my favorite movie is a must.
New York City by The Peter Malick Group - Keeping the dream alive. New York, you will be mine.

I've just been mentally compiling my list for this year- it's such a fun exercise, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteWow, loved your post on love. So cute! And as for NY, it will be here sooner than you know!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! Have you ever heard Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt? That one sticks with me. And there's never a reason to apologize for loving some Dolly. She's an experience! I went to Dollywood once on accident. It will be emblazoned on my mind forever. I love her song Jolene. It was based on a true story for her. I recently read an interview on her as well. I love how she likes to take charge of her own life. She's also really smart. And would you believe, I don't even like country music?! And yet those are the two artsists I'm talking about. hehehe.
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy, and let's keep this tradition going! It's a fab idea! I am going to make my own to share with you!
