Knuckles Handerson

This is my brother and I... and my little friend Knuckles Handerson. Knuckles is these 2 eyes attached by a ring. When you put it on your hand... instant adorable puppet! I got him when someone at work was cleaning out her desk and didn't want him anymore. So I rescued him, and now he goes on adventures with me. He even has a twitter account, @Knuckles_H. Knuckles Handerson adds an extra little bit of silliness to my life's adventures. A friend sent me this link... I look forward to making some friends for Knuckles!

mixed tape: see the world

My good friend Julie recently started a travel blog, My Roving I. Julie and her husband Scott are my heroes when it comes to traveling. They have been all over the world and I love seeing their photos and hearing their stories. Combine that love and knowledge for travel and excellent writing skills, and you have one fantastic blog.

Julie recently posted her travel playlist and invited us readers to make suggestions. Ya'll know I love me some themed mixes. Here are some songs I thought would make a good soundtrack for going around the world.

What would be on your "Jet-set" playlist?

default albums

I have my earbuds in my head a lot when I am on the computer, both at home and at work. Some days I cannot decide what I am in the mood for... that's when I listen to my "default albums." This is music I never get sick of... songs I have listened to over and over and over again. These are like the worn, faded jeans of my music collection. They always feel good and comfortable.

Beck, Sea Change





High Fidelity Soundtrack





Blind Melon, Blind Melon





Postal Service, Give Up





Niel Diamond, 12 Songs





Garden State Soundtrack





The Shins, Oh, Inverted World





Do you have default albums? What are they?
