D-lovely, D-lightful, Dana

My younger sister Dana is a social worker by trade and is such a trip. She and I have a great relationship and we can finish each other's thoughts before we even start formulating them. And we have a similar sense of humor so she laughs at all of my jokes. In addition to her smashing personality, quick wit and winning smile, Dana is an 80's music fanatic as am I. So we have been known to break into song ala 80's style in many a public place. All it takes is a word, a beat, a lyric or a phrase and we are on. We can hang with the best of them when it comes to 80's music trivia.

So Dana and I met for dinner after work at Houston's this evening, one of our most favorite restaurants. As we are waiting to be seated, Dana and I are rapidly gossiping back and forth about Jessica Simpson, Tomy Romo and his birthday party, Carmen Electra getting engaged, Star Jones getting divorced, etc. Dana mentions something to the effect of one thing led to another and instantly she and I looked at each other and simultaneously start singing the classic song from the Fixx - "One thing leads to another"- you remember the tune: "you run for cover in the heat, why don't they, do what they say, say what they mean, one thing leads to another". It was hysterical - not only because we were oh so loud, but because we knew every single lyric.

Therefore, I have decided to add Dana's 80's music pick to my blog, so each time we come up with a song you can re-live the moment with us. Hopefully the song will bring back great memories for you, or at least get stuck in your head like it does ours.
