happy birthday, bekah! / top ten (on the thirteenth?)

First of all, a BIGGGG happy birthday to my best friend/sister from another mister/fellow blonde, Bekah!

It's not easy for us to be constantly separated by a couple hundred miles, but snaps for us for staying in touch as much as we do!  She's one of the warmest, most dedicated, and most beautiful people I know, and I'm just super glad she's such a huge part of my life!  I love you, dear!  (Here's a little peek at the e-card I sent her this morning...)

That's one bad '80s song.  But, to keep the party going, here are my top ten favorite songs this month!

10. Hair - Lady Gaga  (This song makes me want to whip my hair around more than Willow Smith.)




9. Mary Was the Marrying Kind - Kip Moore  (I don't implicitly trust people who don't like country music.)

8. Louder - Charice  (Shameless pop.)




7. Paper Airplane - Alison Krauss & Union Station  (I would like to live inside this video, please.)




6. On My Mind - Cody Simpson  (Alright, so he's the Australian Justin Bieber. But this song is so darn catchy!)




5. Super Bass - Nicki Minaj (Confession: I love the actual music video. But I gotta keep it clean for the blog.)




4. Philadelphia - Parachute  (Just. So. Beautiful.)




3. Not Over You - Gavin DeGraw  (I've never been a rabid fan of his, but this song might make me one.)




2. What I Know - Parachute  (Um, yes. They're on here twice. They earned it.)




1. Everyday (Coolin') - Swizz Beatz  (I actually fell in love with this song on So You Think You Can Dance this week, so I'm putting up the performance video in an effort to get you to love the song AND the show.)
