You're Singing Country

When met with this question the other day my immediate reaction was "What? I'm singing?" and then "NO I'M NOT!!" So on Christmas I retreated to my room with a headache sometime during the "First shift" of family as grandpa Butch called it. I sat on my bed making a scrapbook page of that Rock Band Teen Event and trying to ignore the ever present babble still clearly heard from the living room. Aunt Debbie eventually came and found me on my bed, but stopped only to take a picture and then left me to solitude... I bet some people wish they'd been able to hide out in their room this Christmas when they couldn't ;)). When I emerged to say goodbye to everyone Tina was playing three way Nuts with Lexie and Kate. Then the second batch of family arrived. Grandpa Moore, Aunt Andrea Moore, Anajoy, uncle Brandon, and aunt Lisa. They brought even more presents and fun. It was much easier to hang out with them because they're just altogether more laid back, especially Brandon and Lisa, they're so sweet and funny and fun. LOL My mom offered something to drink to Lisa and uncle Brandon said "What are you her boyfriend now? Trying to show me up, huh?" We always make fun of each other. Brandon and Lisa got us all gifts from Bath and Body Works which my mom was excited about - she loves that place. But eventually I began to regain my headache and returned to my bedroom until dinner. We didn't eat turkey or any of the usual stuff, we ate steak... Steak that my dad had... uh I think I'll leave out the details here actually. Anyways Anajoy and aunt Andrea stayed the night that night and Anajoy stayed again the next night. My mom and sister and I went shopping with our new cards after that. We went into Forever 21 and it took FOREVER. Lex looked good in pretty much the first thing she tried on and bought it. I tried on what my mom described as "half the stuff in the store" (although if you've seen the place you'd know there's no way in heck anyone, particularly ME could have). And finally found something and we went to the counter. "You know you can get something free right?" asked the lady, "this is a buy one get something free item..." So we went back and scoured the area for SOMETHING ELSE. Like I said it took forever. And it was a nightmare, before we'd gone to Forever 21 we'd picked up Allison and Lex and Allison wandered around the store alone together. They were so loud and kept saying things like "Who would WEAR that?!" I mean it was mainly true but they had to be so loud IN the store where they were selling it?! Blah. Anyways we finally left and went home. The next day Lex and Allison were in the kitchen making grilled cheese for all the kids and I was in there washing dishes when Allison said "I went Rocky-mountain climbin!" I suddenly exclaimed "NO! NOOOOOOOOO! NO! COUNTRY!" I realized I had done what I have been doing lately - I had begun singing without realizing it. Yep I'm a nerd, I start singing without conscioussly wanting to sing, I just sing. "HOW DID KRIS ALLEN TURN INTO TIM MCGRAW?!?!?!" I shouted turning. I then commenced singing Rock Star. "You're singing country," Allison announced snickering as if she'd just said something extremely clever and had won a point in some game. "NO I'M NOT!" I protested, "It's Rock Star by Nickelback!" "Oh." she replied, diseheveled at her loss of making fun. Anyways Maddi will be here soonish and I have to go take a shower and I feel the need to announce to everyone that the last blog was my seventy fifth!! So this is Seventy six... Lex just started singing "Walkin On Sunshine"... Oh no. Laterz:D
