if your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?

So, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc.)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the "next" button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool!

I was named after my Aunt Hila (pictured here with my dad). Hila is a family name. Here are a list of all the Hila's thus far.
Hila Hannah
Hila Mary
Hila Mary
Hila Patricia
Hila Margaret
One day, if my fourth daughter ever has a girl, there will be another Hila. She hasn't decided which she prefers Hila Carolyn to Hila Marissa. I think she should consult her husband more!
(ps it's really her daughter writing this... funny story, i (elka) just got off the phone with her. i informed her that i was going to update her blog. her reply, "good, i got tired of checking it to see if it was updated!")
