"Some dance to remember, some dance to forget... "

 

Some incredibly profound food for thought...

XOXO

"You were only waiting for this moment to arise..."

 

Music is so powerful... the feelings it creates... the memories it brings back... it's always been such a huge part of my life.  Music was always playing in our home growing up.  Even had my own Donny & Marie 45-record player in my room before I could afford to buy a decent stereo.  Columbia House addict anyone??  Why yes, I do have a penny.  If that doesn't show my age, I don't know what does.

It's still very important in the job that I do.  Music can make or break an experience for someone, especially in a fitness class.

 

But I felt compelled to quickly write & share this video I saw on Facebook.  

Funny how a 20-minute video can literally make you smile the entire time, laugh out loud & even cry not once but TWICE while you're watching it.  First... because they sang Blackbird, which we played at my sister's funeral, and then again toward the end when they sang Hey Jude... because that song always reminds me of an entire house full of people who had gathered after my best friend's mom's funeral years ago, all singing that song together in honor of her mom, Judy.   

 

If the Beatles didn't play some role in your life with memories... well... you must just be young.  Although just like they mention in the video... their songs are still relevant today. 

If you need a good smile today, watch this...

"We get it, you vape... "

 

 

So.... Bryn got her wisdom teeth removed yesterday.  As per her request ahead of time, I videoed the drive home which, by the way, was hilarious.  I mean... hard not laugh hilarious.  Poor baby. 

I tried to avoid laughing in the car because I didn't want to start her crying again like she did in the recovery room.  Her dad & I were both there for the 30-minute surgery.  When we got called back into the recovery room, we were hit with a LOT of follow-up care recovery info.  I imagine we were both nervous about her condition & trying to listen as intently as possible, both hoping that between the 2 of our can't-remember-shit-diseased brains, we'd get the info correct.  So the nurse ends all of the info with something like... just drop off the prescriptions, go get a milkshake or a smoothie while you wait & then give her the meds when she gets home... any questions?

Bob says... "Uh sorry, I guess I got hung-up on the smoothie part & didn't hear what you said after that." 

So I burst out laughing & say, "He must be hungry."

At which point, Bryn got mad & shook her head & started crying. 

So I'm like... oh my gosh that can't be good for her mouth & teeth... we're just being idiots & she's 3-sheets to the wind & doesn't get the humor in ANY of this.  Nor does she understand our being overwhelmed with too much info (it wasn't quite as short & sweet as I depicted above), so I say... "oh, sweetie, it's ok... everything is ok"  & the nurse says... "don't worry this is a totally normal response to be crying." 

 

So... let's just say it was really difficult to not laugh during this video, even though I did a couple times.   And there's a 2nd video too which took place after I got back in the car with the smoothies, but it's really just more of the same hilariousness so I won't bore you with both. 

 

And as a side-note since you'll likely wonder who the hell he is... "Cleetus McDuffy" is a character in a stupid funny YouTube video we watched when she was a lot younger & I was in the thick of my scrapbooking life.  The husband of a well-known scrapbooker made a mockery type video of the craziness that went on in the scrapbooking world back in the day.  It was hilariously on point & I think it's even more hilarious that he came to mind in Bryn's brain somehow yesterday. 

 

Anyhoo... she's doing well so far & is totally back to "normal" now.  Just about as normal as her mother...

 

Happy Friday & hope you have a GREAT weekend!  XOXO
