1. Friends In Low Places

I haven't heard that Garth song in ages! One spring break, a friend and I (and her young daughter and one of her friends) drove down to Sanibel Island, Florida, for the week. We sang that song just about all the way down and all the way back. Phew. After reading that list, I knew I wanted it on my iPod - but, can you believe, it wasn't on iTunes! Checked around, and one of my friends had it - so I've been sashaying around the track to it today!
