Disconnected...and singing

I’ve had only very limited access to the internet since Friday—my router burned out. Hopefully Verizon will replace it soon and I can begin catching up on all of the posts I’ve missed the past few days. It's odd not being able to go on-line whenever the mood strikes. It makes me miss my magic encyclopedias.

I wanted to share that my wife did a little Black Friday shopping. She managed to snag the last copy of an “Office” DVD in Target. Sadly, as she continued shopping, someone took it from her cart. It’s a small thing, but who does stuff like that??? Not getting a DVD that we don’t need anyway isn’t a big deal, it’s just such an add thing to do for a DVD. I’m thankful the person didn’t steal her purse, but that at least I could understand.

On a happier note, I’ve been practicing my singing—the happy part is you didn’t have to hear it. My poor kids. I’ve decided that instead of singing an entire song on my blog, it would be better if I pick a few lyrics to focus on. Since I have a number of really terrific Canadian blogger friends, I wanted to include something that was uniquely Canadian to celebrate our friendship. It didn’t work as I'd hoped. No matter how I tried, “Hey, hey, you, you, I don’t like your boyfriend” just didn’t sound right coming from me. **smile**

Okay, sorry, that small piece of gentle teasing is an expression of fondness; I’m not making fun of Canadians (honest!), just being silly. If it would make you feel better, you could tease me back. Is that guy who sings “Shawty’s like a melody” from the US? You could tease me about that. I would sing that for you, but my daughter has forbidden me from even speaking those words. I think she’s afraid the lyrics might get stuck in my head and I’ll absentmindedly start singing it in front of her friends…maybe when my iPod’s stuck on replay (replay). :P

Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, I hope you’re smiling!

Edit: When I was a kid, my sister and her hubby spent a few years living in Calgary and Regina. When they came home after their first winter in Canada, I noticed a power cord dangling under the hood of their car. Of course it was for an engine block heater, but for a few moments I thought, "Wow, they have electric cars in Canada!!!"
