A sweet little song,

because everything I'm writing looks as if I've forgotten how to combine consonants and vowels into words. So, here: Zooey always cheers me up. Zooey and hula hoops? Even better.

"I Love the World/And I Want to Lay Down"

"I love the world

it is so beautiful.

I love the world

every single day.

I love the world

when I was a little boy,

when I was a little girl,

when I was a little tiny baby.

I love the world

and I want to lay down.

I love the world

when I am a grown-up.

I love the world

and when I was a grown-up

I will be a teacher."

~ This is the song LilGirl made up for us the other day, which she then sang whilst spinning around in circles in the kitchen, waiting patiently for lunch to be served. The song includes what is probably my favorite line of lyrics ever, which I have used for this post title. Also, I have no idea where the whole teacher thing came from, except that if it were true (rather than the ramblings of a hyped up, loves to sing songs with nonsense words like "doobalala", 3 year-old), it would make her the fourth generation of teachers in our family. Which is nice and all, but I sure hope she decides to be a billionaire instead. Billionaires can teach.

"That's the way to catch a beau..."

That's from More New Math. Let me just add that NTE's Insomnia = The Pull-out Couch of Death (TM) + YouTube Videos of Haley Mills Movies = Having "PollyaANNNAAAA" or the totally anti feminist lyrics from Femininity "You must walk feminine, talk feminine, smile and beguile feminine ... Hide the real you" in your head all freaking day long.


Just in case you were wondering what "every girl should know"



You're welcome. (bangs head against desk) Go play Jeopardy, boost your IQ.

I have been posting videos from You Tube all week,

and none of them are here... Were they here and disappeared or did they never appear... must investigate.

And, of course, I can only remember one of them for re-posting purposes...

Well, here you have it: a song that's been stuck in my head all week, here to taunt you during the weekend.



I'll be back later today, I hope with more things, but I just saw that there were no new posts up and that was confusing to me. ... Any ideas?
