Best. Birthday. Ever.

I love to sing, and I've always wanted to sing karaoke. I guess I wrote that somewhere in a previous blog post. Something along the lines of "before I die, I want to sing karaoke". And my dear friend, D read that, and actually remembered that, and decided to hold me to it. Not only that, but knowing that I've been feeling shitty, she contacted my dear friend E and got her to come in from Queens for the weekend. (A small feat I've been trying to accomplish for, oh, 14 years...) Add in my awesome friend T, and you've got karaoke birthday!! Was I scared to death? YES! Did I love it once I was up there? I really did!! Would I do it again? I really would!!

32 is going to be a great year. A great, great year. I just know it.

~I'm thankful for the wonderful walk I just took, just me and my babies. The weather was beautiful, and everything felt right in the world for that 45 minutes.
~I'm thankful for the Cold Stone cake I ordered for Mother's Day. They have the best ice cream cakes.

But I've never seen Mama Mia

Gordo once told me that being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame holds no weight anymore. That they'll let anyone in. "Like ABBA" he said. "What do you mean? I like ABBA! I have them on my iPod." I responded. "They were one hit wonders. They had like one album." No, they had like five hits. At least. And without ABBA we wouldn't have things like this. Probably one of the funniest moments on The Office. They're singing back up from on the phone!! So freakin funny.
