Tonto, I Need You to Stop Jumping on it

Mr. Husband and my workout today was pretty dang awesome. I got my cardio and my strength on! :D This is starting to feel like a routine! Now, if I could just get my music together.

One of my best buddies ever was unfortunate in that she's the only person in the known world (known to me) who didn't have any semblance of an iPod.  I had an extra Nano so I gave her the one I was using in favor of one Mr. Husband gave me.  Unfortunately, I wasn't bright enough to update my new toy and assumed that magically my workout mix would just find its way to the new iPod without me taking any action at all. THIS DOESN'T WORK, GUYS.  For some reason, I couldn't just yell at it to make it happen?

There I am on the elliptical sweating and breathing like you'd imagine a pregnant rhinoceros would.  I'm doing alright with some of the songs Mr. Husband had on his workout mix, but they're definitely not my kind of workout jam... Then, what wonderful song should bless my ears? Sugar Hill Gang's Apache, of course.  How this inspires Mr. Husband to do anything more than this I'll never know.  

That got me thinking:  I need to finesse a list of songs I can really get into working out to.  A workout without good music is really difficult to really go for it in and, honestly, my playlist just ain't jammin'.

Through the magic of time travel and science, you didn't have to wait for me to actually revise this playlist. It magically got better and is listed below for your viewing pleasure. Now, this playlist is songs I can picture myself singing on my "Roadtrip at the Beginning of Every Bad Horror Movie."
