I regret not saving the hands.

When Sebastian started pre-school, he had a biut of separation anxiety. His teacher suggested I give him something of mine to keep in his cubby or backpack, so he would know I was always near. Sebastian and I couldn't really come up with anything he wanted to take. He just said he wanted to be able to hold my hand. So we traced our hands on construction paper, cut them out, and taped them together like we were shaking hands. Every year on first-day-of-school eve, we'd make a new pair. I thought for sure he would not want to do it this year, but he does. And now I'm sad that I didn't think to save all the paper hands :( That would have been something great to look back on when he graduates from high school :(

Def Leppard Favorites

My son put Def Leppard's Historia into the dvd player today. While we watched, I commented that "Animal" used to be my favorite song, and it got me thinking - what is my favorite song from each album? So I thought about it.

On Through The Night

Overture

High & Dry

Lady Strange

Pyromania

Foolin'

Hysteria

Animal

Adrenalize

Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad

Retroactive

She's Too Tough

Slang

Work It Out

Euphoria

21st Century Sha-La-La-La Girl

X

Girl Like You

Yeah!

Rock On - This song wins by default. It's the only song I know, and I don't even know the original, only the Def Leppard and Michael Damian versions. And quite frankly, I hate this album.

Okay, I guess this is the original. Blech!!

Songs From The Sparkle Lounge

Cruise Control

So there you have it. It's amazing how many of my favorites don't have an official video. And in some cases, it was tough to choose a favorite.

Honorable mentions:

Hysteria

Long Long Way To Go

Demolition Man

I Wanna Touch U

Ah, the memories...
