Sing that song

I'm so glad Fashionista Holly lives in town now. We were cheerleaders together in high school and sorority sisters in college and now here we are raising our big Catholic families together- and singing karaoke. That's right- she called us Friday and said they had a big pot of chili and a karaoke machine and basically "let's do this." I thought I wouldn't want to sing- I mean, that's embarrassing....after a glass of wine and a lot of laughing....the music took over- three hours of rocking the mic- what's up. :)



I'm glad these words are blurry and you can't read the lyrics to "Creep" by TLC...



Holly and I did several duets including "Tell Him" (sorry Lindsey- I know that's your song) where we did our best Celine Dion and Barbara Streisand impressions. We also did "Leather and Lace" by Don Henley and Stevie Nicks- I mean is that the best song or what?- and some "Love Can Build a Bridge" by the Judds. I was also able to showcase my DEAD-ON (this fact is indisputable) Tina Turner (We don't need another hero) and Shakira (Whenever, Wherever) and Reba McIntire (Fancy) impressions. Holly, who is an actual singer, did all her songs perfectly including "What a Man" by salt-n-peppa. Marc jumped in with "Who you gonna call- Ghostbusters", "Devil went down to Georgia", "My girl likes to party all the time", "Whomp, there it is" and finally "Arms wide Open" so he could do his Creed impersonation.



Mr. Tad, who like Holly, can actually sing- did "Come Monday" and "Caught in a Trap"-two awesome songs. He also took a turn cuddling our audience- Charlie. The other kids came and danced a lot as well and even took a turn singing.



All this to say- what I thought would be awkward and embarrassing was, in fact, fun and hilarious. Lesson learned and stage mantle rocked.
