Hello everyone.  I guess I’m finally coming from behind the curtain and making my first post.  It was inspired by Revisedgewater’s playlist post and a trip to a new grocery store.  It also illustrates why they call me “Sybil” at work.  My coworker says she sees 1,700 personalities in me.  Like the Grimm fairy tales, I look quite unassuming on the outside but still waters run deep.

Revis posted a most excellent playlist of songs last night.  Most are in my collection as well.  Seether, Breaking Benjamin and Disturbed have a continuous spot in the rotation.  In addition, Rise Against holds a prominent place.  Eminem is also tops on the list except when mom is in the car.  I often start my day in the office singing the last song I heard in the car.  Lose it by Eminem often makes an appearance and not just the chorus.

Anyway, I was in search of inexpensive produce because it is so fucking costly where I live.  $3.99 per lb for peppers anyone?  No thanks.  The coworker who calls me Sybil suggested this store she frequents.  Peppers are $.99 per lb and she swore they are quality.  I was always suspicious of this chain because how could they charge $3 less for the same thing?  I took her advice and bought not only produce but my entire weekly menu for under $40.  I don’t know how they do it and I don’t care…

So here is where the schizophrenic part comes in.  While I’m shopping, I noticed they are playing really cool music and I was singing along.  This elderly gentleman was laughing and I apologized for my horrible singing voice.  He said he was laughing because I was a kid (thanks!) and knew the words to the song they were playing.  It was “The way you look tonight”, sung by Tony Bennett.  I didn’t know what to say but thanks.  While I continued shopping I heard music by Sinatra and other classics.  When I was young my cousins laughed and called it “Old People Music”.  I chose to disagree.

My playlist for the week has just expanded.  I can’t wait to see the reaction on my coworker’s face when I come humming on Monday.
