Obviously since Thursday I’ve been thinking a lot about (and listening to a lot of) Michael Jackson’s music. I started to make a list in my head of my top 5 MJ songs and the list really surprised me.

1. Smooth Criminal – Total surprise at the top spot, but I really like this song.
2. Billie Jean – The quintessential MJ song. When you hear that intro, you just have to start bouncing in your seat.
3. Thriller – Even I thought this would be higher, but I can’t stress enough that these top 3 are separated by only a hair’s breadth.
4. Somebody’s Watching Me – I know what you’re thinking, that’s not Michael, that’s Rockwell. Come on, if it wasn’t for MJ’s hook, nobody would know this song.
5. (tie) Dirty Diana – Do people know this one? I don’t know if it was a big hit or not, but I really like it.
6. (tie) Scream – This Michael / Janet Jackson collaboration didn’t come out until 1995 so many people might have been off the Jacksons by then, but it’s actually a quality song.

All in all, not what I would have guessed to make the top 5, but there it is. Put your favorites in the comments.

In other news it was a relatively eventful weekend. We made some sweet garage sale finds including an art easel and some shelves with baskets for Evie. We spent a lot of time at the beach. Evie rode on a train at the mall and loved it. And finally, we bought some fresh eggs at the farmer’s market.

My uncle has chickens and he swears up and down that home grown eggs are way better than store bought ones. They may have been better; they were certainly good. They didn’t change my life though. The yolks were definitely more appealing, much darker yellow than store eggs.  Considering they cost the same as the organic store eggs, I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t keep buying them.
