The Shopping Sherpa: Weird, White & Wonderful

I regret to inform you that posting might be a bit short for the next several days.  I’ve got personal business (or “bidness” as I like to say) to take care of.  That’s right, Mama’s got stuff to DO.  Oh!  You gettin’ nosy?  You wanna know what it is?  Well, you’ll just have to wait!  Until then, please enjoy this collection of delightful oddities (brought to you by the one, the only… the Shopping Sherpa) and the short posts I have scheduled through Tuesday.  Don’t miss me too much.

The Shopping Sherpa: Blue Moon

“You saw me standing alone… without a dream in my heart… without a love of my own.”  Sing it with me now!  “Blue Moooooon.  You know just what I was there for.  You heard me saying a prayer for… someone I really could care for.”  Don’t you just love singalongs!  Don’t you just love it when you can’t get a song out of your head, and then you start singing it out loud, and then people around you start humming it, and before they know it… it’s stuck in their heads too!  It’s a little game Brian and I play with each other.  Why, just last night he planted a seed with a little hum, and before I knew what was happening, I was singing the titular line from “Eye of the Tiger” over and over for a solid hour.  I didn’t even know the rest of the lyrics (btw, I just looked ‘em up… what the hell does “cream of the fight” mean?!).  Thanks Brian.  And today, I have a gift for you.  “Blue Moooooon….. ta-da-da dum dum da dum dum… ”
