Well, that happens to me all the time. I am going to list the random "morning songs" on here and see what you think.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Some of the songs that pop in are alright and I am fine with them when they&amp;nbsp;disappear. However, some songs just linger. You don't know how they came about in the dark hours of your slumber and you don't know why they won't go away. It is obnoxious.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Yesterday's song was MMM MMM MMM by the Crash Test Dummies. Remember that song:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhuPiBZHvLE"&gt;The "MMM MMM MMM MMM" Song&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Not a bad song until it sits there in your head looping over and over when all you want to do is fall back asleep. then you remember that someone uses the word LURCH in a song and you giggle a little bit. Then it is right back to not sleeping again. SERIOUSLY? All I could do is wonder how a person can become a crash test dummie because maybe then it will bash the song out of my head upon impact!! It is no wonder why they are pretty much a one hit wonder. No wonder at all...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Once...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;there was this song that...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;drove me to the point of...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;wanting to carve it out of my head...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;with a butter knife...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;then,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I'd,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;be bleeding out of my ear.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I couldn't quite explain it,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I only wanted si...lence...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;MMMM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;MMMM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;MMMM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;MMMM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;MMMM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;MMMM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;MMMM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;MMMM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7309455238299064974-3111450321428130689?l=casualcontemplation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://casualcontemplation.blogspot.com/feeds/3111450321428130689/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://casualcontemplation.blogspot.com/2011/11/do-you-ever-wake-up-with-song-in-your.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7309455238299064974/posts/default/3111450321428130689'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7309455238299064974/posts/default/3111450321428130689'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://casualcontemplation.blogspot.com/2011/11/do-you-ever-wake-up-with-song-in-your.html' title=''/><author><name>Karla Cady</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08080083779236976928</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W6nnkVWK_wM/TrV7LEi851I/AAAAAAAAAAU/IacbY9n7Ai4/s220/137.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309455238299064974.post-3263431437983432177</id><published>2011-11-03T12:28:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T12:28:58.817-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;My name is Karla. I am a single mother of two freakishly awesome kids. I reside in Savage Minnesota in a house that I rent with my boyfriend Chris. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;My intentions for this blog is to use it for journalling purposes. I would like my kids to someday read this or to start commenting, etc. My son is old enough to have his own Facebook and email now that he is 13 so hopefully I can get some interaction. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;This blog is clean. I promise there won't be any swearing or references to sex&amp;nbsp;or violence other than maybe&amp;nbsp;a note&amp;nbsp;that I'd like to stick a shoe in some one's ass once in awhile. Great...I guess I just blew my promise for all three on that last statement. My apologies in advance since I am not known for keeping my promises. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;I don't intend for this to be a gossip column and I won't be mentioning any one's name other than the ones I already have.

See you at 5:00PM on channel 11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;If you have any suggestions or comments feel free to leave them as long as they are somewhat intellegent.
