Instant Gratification

Ever since we watched Just Like Heaven last week I have been dying to get the soundtrack adn I forgot to look for it while we were in civilization last weekend. And then today I saw that fantastic Dove commercial with the little girls who need to learn to love themselves, with "True Colors" playing in the background, and I remembered how bad I need to download that Cyndi Lauper song. So I logged on to walmart.com's 88-cent downloads and filled up my music basket. Within 10 minutes, I had the Just like Heaven soundtrack and a bunch of singles on my computer, ready to be burned to CD. It's so SATISFYING--sometimes the internet brings me joy. Check out these heart-happy songs I got today for less than $13:

Blame It On The Moon, I Think It's Gonna Rain Today, & Thank You Stars by Katie Melua

True Colors by Cyndi Lauper

I Believe (When I Fall in Love) & You Are the Sunshine of My Life by Stevie Wonder
