Tonight I was sitting in the pharmacy drive-through line, waiting for the tech to enter my insurance information into the computer AGAIN, because even though I just filled this same scrip two months ago, somehow the computer says I have no insurance. Again.

Hooray!

(Fortunately, I have insurance AND my insurance covers this drug, which is great because before the insurance, it’s $250. Which seems like a lot for something that isn’t actually erasing my wrinkles entirely but only making them a little less noticeable.)

(Differin, you all. I love it. But I love it more when it’s only $25. Insurance FTW!)

ANYway …

While I’m waiting for the man to  v  e  r  y   s   l   o   w   l    y   enter my insurance  information in the computer, the Go Go’s come on the radio, and suddenly I’m 12 again, bobbing my head to “We’ve got the beat.” But driving, and in need of something to take care of my crow’s feet. You know what I mean, though.

And I started to think about music that makes me feel young again. For example …

1. “Happy Hour Again” (The Housemartins)

2. “Hymn to Her” (Pretenders)

3. “I Love You Suzanne” (Lou Reed)

4. “Roam” (B52s)

5. “Personal Jesus” (Depeche Mode)

I could keep going (how about some Erasure, you all?) but it’s your turn. What songs make you feel young?

(Only sort of distantly related: I heard Frank Sinatra singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” tonight on satellite radio. Ho ho ho! Or something.)
