Most people know my love of Bono and everything U2.  But there is another love of my life (yes besides my hubby) and that would be Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20. 
I don't think there is a single song from a single album of Matchbox 20 or Rob Thomas solo that I don't have and don't like - they're all awesome.  Some serious, some fun and some you just can't help but get up and move to.

Well that's what happened to me the other day. While flipping stations on the radio I heard a songs by The Kinks and by Moody Blues, it took me back to when I was a child and we would visit my Grandmother. No my grandmother did not listen...

I couldn't wipe the smile off my face when Trish invited me to join this awesome group of ladies for the WORK IN PROGRESS design team!  I cannot wait to get to know everyone and see what can be created with this group!
