Tiptoe through the tulips with meeeeee

[amberica]

Yippee!! I'm super happy and excited for a few reasons!

Reason #1 is rather private, so I choose not to share it, but please trust me that it is a very good thing. (ETA: It has nothing to do with pregnancy or anything else like that - it's just simply personal.)

Reason #2 is that I got to give Jon a giftmas present that I was really excited to give him!

Reason #3 is that Jon gave me a giftmas present too! And IT'S A UKULELE!!!!! wheeeee!! I've spent quite some time this evening tuning it (and re-tuning and re-tuning! it takes a while before the new strings stop stretching) and playing a little between tunings. I was singing Clementine and he started running the video camera and I got shy and stopped. I don't like being filmed.... But HOORAY! Now I have a piano and an electric keyboard and a guitar and a UKULELE! Yippeeeeeeee!!!!

Next order of business, re-learn to play Tiptoe Thruough the Tulips so I can sing it like Tiny Tim and annoy the living snot out of anyone who dares venture near me and my awesome new ukulele.

I think I should give it a name... it's too cute not to have one...

Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my daaaar-ling Clementine...

I don't know why, but the image of you playing a ukulele made me laugh so loudly and abruptly that I woke up Chelsea with a start. You must bring it to some festivity over here sometime!

Hey, I laughed all night myself! Something about those ukes just cracks everyone up! ^_^

how about marmaduke?

[amberica.livejournal.com]

That's a good suggestion - sounds like a name for something BIG though! (Maybe I should call the piano that...^_^)

marmaduke does sound big! maybe you should name the car marmaduke.

shouldn't you only be speaking in yes or no?

CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA... CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA.

Translated: My car is a girl - but if I get a truck I will call it Marmaduke!

i'd LOVE a truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely you are mistaking Marmaduke with Marmaduchess! :)
