I was driving in the car. Makily was in the backseat sleeping and the radio was on. My newest favorite singer is Kelly Clarkson. I love her new album and the song "Because of you" is just awesome. I don't really know why I like it that much because my life doesnt really relate to that particular song. I guess because it's such a raw, emotional song and I usually walk around an emotional mess most of the time?? Well Elizabeth (my sis) burned the CD for me and I had been listening to it non-stop. Allen stole it and took it on the road with him....he likes her too now I guess! So I have been without my Kelly CD. So the radio is on and MY SONG CAME ON...."Because of you"...I get excited so I start belting it out. By the time it got to the chorus I was feeling really proud because I KNOW ALL THE WORDS and I am tearing it up! I cannott sing...I take that back, I can sing just not well. This is one thing that I will always envy about my sister Deborah. She can sing better than most of the so called "stars" out there. My parents have joked that I can dance, but not sing...Deborah can sing but NOT DANCE (2 LEFT FEET SHE HAS....oh the memories I have of her and I in ballet class at the ripe old age of 6, usually during stretches you could hear Deborah screaming from a mile away...and I am not kidding about that either...ask anyone in the family!) I do have one opera note I can belt out that sounds good but that's it....just the one note is all. In fact every now and then my mom will call and request that I sing "my note" for her. I like to reserve using that note for when I call and sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to family or friends on the phone. Back to my story.....So I am in the car and just SINGING it up WITH FEELING! I get to the part that goes "Because of you I'm ashamed of my life, because it's empty" and my voice did this strange HORRENDOUS cracking sound....I immediately start laughing but quickly compose myself because I wanted to finish my song....Then the next note that came out of my mouth was just as bad as the last one that sent me into hysterics so I start laughing again.....I can't compose myself now, I am laughing at the horrible singer I am and at the fact that I can't even stand the sound of my own voice....ya know it's bad when you are laughing at YOURSELF...just then I look to my left and there is a guy in the car next to me. He's staring at me with a weird grin on his face. I realize, he has been watching my performance and my laughing at myself. Our eyes meet and we both start laughing.
Glad I could make his night! LOLOL
Here's the song and video just in case you havent heard it, listen and imagine me BELTING this one out in my car! LOL:

only YOU!!!! Too funny. I remember being in a hurry one day at a traffic light by TJ Maxx shopping center, and people were cutting me off and not letting me pull up out of the way of the intersection, and the light WOUL NOT turn green. Some lady crowded me and almost took my side view mirror off, and I had just HAD it. I felt entitled since I was in the privacy of my own car so I screamed "AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH< YOU F#@$%!!* !!!!!" I realized quickly that my window was rolled down (I had forgotten) because I could hear my obscenity echoing off of TJ Maxx. The guy next to me pulled up grinning, and screamed "you're RIGHT, she is a F@@@##%%**!!!!!!!" He gave me the thumbs up and drove away. How embarrasing!!
