Will it make me wet? *yeah*
Should I get in the hot tub? *yeah*
Will it make me sweat? *yeah*
Well, well, well....
If you don't know this skit from SNL - get off my blog. Seriously...it's a classic. Ridiculously enough, it is one of my most quoted skits from SNL - and it is with great grief and sorrow that I mourn the loss of the the godfather of soul - Mr. James Brown. Now I know, I know he had his share of troubles and run-ins with the law...and I know he was *ahem* out of his fucking mind...but I love him. No, not like I would marry him, I am not THAT crazy...but Sex Machine? Papa's Got a Brand New Bag? Living in America? Love it all...so today, dig down deep in your soul and let out a whopping "Heeeeeeeyyyyyyy" for the man.
Deaths come in threes - and with the passing of former POTUS Gerald Ford, lots of people should be worried - who will the next one be??? I'm looking at you, Mark Burnett, you tastless soul-sucking, reality show creating maniac. Or no, better...we could just rid ourselves of K-Fed...he's one baggie away from some kind of overdose, I'm sure. Their off-ing Saddam inside 30 days, but I don't think a planned execution really completes the triad of famous deaths, do you?
Let's quickly 180 to a much happier subject. My oldest son is 14 today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!! Yes, little Mooya himself is officially 14. At this point in the day 14 years ago, I was laying in a hospital bed holding my little blond baby sobbing because my mother was telling me that she couldn't come down because my uncle who was visiting from PA had just had a heart attack!!! So he was in the hospital and my mom couldn't abandon my aunt. He ended up having angioplasty and my mom was up the next day. Oh Alex, you were so cute then - what happened??? I kid, I kid....he's still adorable, even if he is growing taller than all of us.
How did you all do at Christmas? I cleaned up babies! 20 bottle wine refrigerator, Steelers blanket, tea kettle, books, pajamas...very happy girl over here. The boys were thrilled with all of their stuff...but Owen is confused. If Santa brought him the Nintendo DS...then how did Aunt Jen know to buy him a DS game??? Oh boy. I told him it was a lucky guess on her part since that was the a-number-one item on his list...he seemed to go with that. This may be the last year for a believer in our house...so sad...

Well, I think you made out on the presents more than I. I fear my 75-year-old Mom's losing her edge. Here's what we got from her: (Me) Playtex rubber gloves (you know, the kind you do dishes with) and a maniacal clown face pin. (Craig) an electric pencil sharpener. Seriously. Craig said, "If there was ever a present that said, 'I don't give jack about you it's a pencil sharpener.'" But I'm happy for you, Rebecca. Really. Guess what you're getting for your next birthday?????
Well I hope it's that pin! It should become the official mascot of the blog. I demand a photograph of it immediately, and we should start a tradition of mailing it to people with a card on their birthday for them to pass along to someone else. Hoorah!
I really did make out like a bandit this year...
And I hate to tell you, but my mom totally scored for me, too - I got these
and my hubby completed the set. Just wine glasses and champagne flutes...I should go get myself the martini glasses, too, but I'm b.r.o.k.e, baby.
A pencil sharpener? That IS strange...
I'm totally guilty with the SNL quotes. I haven't watched that show in a good ten years! I'll graciously remove myself if you'd like. :)
Well - it's from like 1985...were you even born then? You're forgiven, please stay...
I most certainly WAS born then. 1979 to be exact! So, I believe that would put me in Kindergarten!
Thanks, b/c i really didn't want to have to leave!
I couldn't stand to let you go - you know I can't quit you. :)
Oh yeah baby, Eddie Murphy in gold underwear, it don't get any better than that!!!!
