Shake it out

Earlier this season on SMASH the main character performed Florence + the machine's "Shake it out." Since then, I've been hearing the song everywhere... and loving it. My husband never buys music - he streams pandora and youtube all day long. But this week he bought "Lungs" and "Ceremonials." When he made the purchase, I was on my way to bed and begged him to make me a copy. He was in the middle of something, and didn't. The entire next day, "Shake it out" was stuck in my head. When I got home from work, I begged again. He gave me some lame "I need to respect copyright laws" nonsense - basically he was giving me a hard time, because that is how he amuses himself when I'm around. Later that night, he was begging for a bowl of ice cream. I was in the kitchen preparing my lunch for the next day, and could have easily done it, but I decided to throw out that I was *still* waiting for copies of his new music. I got another vague and "I'm just doing this to bug you" response, but being the nice wife that I am, got him ice cream and went to bed. This morning, when I got up, I thought "wouldn't it be cool if he put the music on my computer?" Since my brain doesn't work great at 7 am I just checked to see if iTunes was open - it wasn't. Dejected, I went about my day. That night, Josh once again taunted me with his new music, and I was getting fed up. Just as I was about to lay into him, he asks "didn't you notice some new music in your iTunes??" Sure enough, 2 new Florence + the machine albums. AHHH!!! The boy drives me nuts, but I love him. Keeps life interesting for sure. And keeps me guessing.

  1. I love that he pushed you right to the edge before telling you about the music :) He could see the look in your eye, I guess.
