Such is my life

So as of late Luke has become fascinated with Sesame Street. It's on when he wakes up from his nap and it keeps him from being grumpy, so we watch it. But I have realized how crazy funny Sesame Street is. It's amazing the celebrities they have on and the parody's they come up with. Like Dancing with Triangles, which was hilarious by the way. Today they had Annie get your Gumbo on. I think one of my favorite ones though (which is not a parody) is Suzie singing "Somebody Come & Play" it just cracks me up the way she sings it. I smile every time. Yah I can't figure out how to embed a video file either (Nicole), unless it's You Tube.

Anyway, as I was searching for the Suzie video I came upon some old time Sesame Street that brought back some fond memories. Did anyone out there have the Sesame Street Disco record? Well I sure did and I even remember opening it on my birthday and I think I was even wearing a Sesame Street t-shirt at the time. As luck would have it, I found Cookie Monster singing "Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco" which was on my record. April, I know you remember dancing to this one, I probably pulled a groin muscle then too. If you've got the time, it is a bit long...but worth all the memories.



And this is the pure excitement my life is filled with these days. How did I ever grow up in a small town?

p.s. Speaking of small towns, a little bit of a side note here. Can someone please explain to me why it's so hilarious to teenagers to wave to people they don't know? They honk and wave and laugh gleefully as they do it. I remember doing it. But I do also remember that we upgraded as we got older to honking at someone and then we would all wave the opposite direction. That's gotta make 'em feel good eh? Yah, the rebels we were. We'd cruise around in our small town in a friends huge 1960's caprice (or something like that, correct me if I'm wrong Shea.) Anyway, it's just funny to me high school kids are still doing it, what's the mental age anyway of a high school er?
