My 21 most listened to songs in 2011

One of the benefits of spending a lot of time alone is the ability to listen to and explore music. Over the years I have really opened up my mind to all kinds of music. I love listening to old music. I love sharing music with others. And, I truly don't know how I would get through many of my days without it.

Here's my list of songs (not in any particular order) that I listened to the most in 2011. They aren't necessarily my "favorites", but they made strong IPod appearances. It doesn't mean that these songs were released in 2011. Some of them I Shazamed. Some of them were sent to me by friends. Some of them are pretty old. Some are really new. Some are fun. Some are classic and soulful. Some are happy. Some aren't. But, I hope you take at least one of them away with you to enjoy in 2012.

The Scientist-Coldplay
For You-Tin Sparrow
Magnolia Mountain-Ryan Adams
Alex Chilton-The Replacements
Cuyahoga-R.E.M.
Fade into You-Mazzy Star
Stop for a Minute-Keane
Last Friday Night-Katy Perry
Chugjug-Family of the Year
The Ghost Inside-Broken Bells
Home-Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
Waiting in Vain-Bob Marley & The Wailers
Rain and Snow-The Be Good Tanyas
Paper Bag-Fiona Apple
Collide-Howie Day
A Year Without Rain-Selena Gomez
Open Your Eyes-Snow Patrol
The Last DJ-Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Should've Been in Love-Wilco
Nova Baby & Dead and Gone-The Black Keys (Likely to be my most listened to album of 2012. These songs are new but have been played at least 100 times in the past two weeks. Couldn't pick one over the other)

Nothing Gold Can Stay

I have been thinking about this famous Robert Frost quote for years, but the significance of it has picked up over the past several months. "Nothing gold can stay". Four words with such true and raw intensity. Things keep moving forward. Nothing can stay as they are. Especially age.  Today marks my 50th birthday. A half a century. The age that my mom was when I thought she was old. And, now-here I am. I remember a decade ago like it was yesterday, yet I can’t seem to remember what I did two days ago. I remember my first day of kindergarten (I wore red), but I have minimal recollection of last week. Clearly, the short-term memory can’t stay! Nothing gold can stay. Including my 40s. This past decade has been life-changing. Then again wouldn’t every 10 years of a life naturally be? 10 years. From 19-20, I was a rising junior in college (the same age as my oldest child now). And, when I was 29-30 I was pregnant. From 30-40, we raised babies into little kids. From 40-50 kids to te

To my first born who is about to leave for college

If you had been born on your due date, I would not be writing this. Why? Because you would have missed the cut-off, and you would be entering your Senior year in high school. Not Freshman year of college. But, you made the cut-off, and in two weeks, you will be spreading your wings as you enter the next chapter of your life. College. Over the past year as we entered the college application process, I have been running your life's timeline over and over again in my mind. Savoring, holding onto, and remembering the moments big and small. I keep trying to get those actual feels that I had in those actual moments, and sometimes I can actually feel that time. And, while it is hard to put it into actual words, that is how I have been processing this big life-changing experience, my son. You came into my life on August 20, 2003, at 36 weeks. And, you lived your first few weeks of life in the NICU. With every passing day, all I could think about was the time that was cutting into my matern

I am coming clean...

My name is Kimberly Tucker Kutnick. And, on February 8, 2021, I had bariatric (gastric bypass) surgery.  I am coming clean.  It's been over a year, and I am ready.  I have written and re-written this so many times because I wasn't sure I was going to post this. Or, how I was going to tee it up (that sounds so corporate America of me). But, a friend once told me that my superpower is writing. So, here I go. First, I want to clear myths. Bariatric surgery is not only for people with morbid obesity. More people who are not morbidly obese have the surgery vs. those who are morbidly obese. My BMI was "obese", but I was not categorized as morbidly obese.  Secondly, this is not the easy way out. This is not a "solution". This is a tool. This is one of the most challenging things I have ever endured. When you hear the expression "It takes a village"...for bariatric it certainly does...I have a team that consists of a surgeon, psychiatrist, therapist, di
