Song Of The Week: Right Here (Human Nature Radio Mix)

Today was one of those days where the sun was shining and the birds were chirping and then I got some sad news at work that one of my favorite coworkers was heading elsewhere and his last day was today. I of course cried and was shaking with the breaking news, but received a little facebook posting from my girl Kris alerting me that I had been named the winner of the always darling Amber's Notebook giveaway! Talk about much needed good news to help get me out of my sad funk. THANKS AMBER!

Trying to pick a song was a little difficult for today, but I decided on an oldie that always makes me sing along by SWV, "Right Here". I used to play this song on repeat in 7th grade and just recently added it to my Itunes collection and from the first listen I was reminded how much I love this song. It samples my favorite Michael Jackson song "Human Nature" and just brings me back to simpler days of junior high.
