Hal thought I was crazy when I occasionally broke into a song about Johnny Rebeck & his sausage machine.
It's a really silly "kiddie song" that I first heard about when I went to a non- denominational Bible camp when I was in 6th or 7th grade. Nearly 20 years later, it's still pops into my mind from time to time for no good reason.
Here are the lyrics
Did you sing this as a child too?

Spoiler Update (read previous post 1st)
The Predators defeated the #1 team in the NHL tonight! There were 3 Predator goals in the first 9 minutes. It was crazy.
The Red Wings switched their goalie. We gave up two goals... but finished it off in the end and scored another goal.
Go Predators! (In all honesty, I paid off the refs for Hal's b-day).
Another Super Tuesday???
Well, it might not be Super Tuesday like it was last week, but there's still a lot of exciting stuff going on today.
One of my favorite tv shows is coming back tonight. Yes, I confess that I'm a Big Brother fan. It sounds like the stupiest tv show to get hooked on, but it gets me every darn time. Luckily, the writers strike has bumped the series start up a few months.
Another big deal is that the Predators play the Detroit Red Wings tonight. It's a big rivalry, and the Preds need every win they can get if they want to make it to the post season. Unfortunately, the Red Wings are leading the entire league in several categories, so it'll be a tough night.
Last but not least, 38 years ago, in a manger in a galaxy far-far away, Hal was born! Yep, today is his birthday. We celebrated with his family Sunday night (his dad's bday). We really dont do 'gifts' for each other, but I'm going to take him out to a super-fabulous dinner if he will ever decide on a restaurant.
If he doesnt decide soon, I'm just going to take him to Shoney's. If we pick the right night, it might even be all you can eat catfish! That's super-duper fabulous, right???

Rocking the Grammys
I was pretty excited to watch the Grammy Awards last night. I was particularly interested to find out how many awards Amy Winehouse would get.
I love love love her "Back to Black" album and have been sad to see all the personal drama she's been involved with recently. I was happy she won so many awards and thought her performance was ok... maybe a bit odd, but I'm guessing she's trying to figure out life without heroin or whatever else she did.
Stay in Rehab & work it out, girl!
P.S... what about Tina Turner?! Girlfriend gave Beyonce a lesson on how to perform even when you are almost 70 years old! I totally wish she would go on tour again. I'd be there in a hot second!!

And You & You & You... You're goina' love me!
Confession: I'm often behind the times when it comes to watching movies.
I tend to have a short attention span and investing in 2 hours in a movie is hard for me. I do better with 30 minute/1 hour tv shows.
With that said, I finally watched Dreamgirls today. I've had it on the DVR for a while and decided that today was viewing day.
I really enjoyed the movie. You all know I'm a big fan of musicals, so this movie was made for me. Jennifer Hudson (J-Hud if you're cool) rocked it out. She totally deserved the Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance (although I would argue that she was actually the Lead Actress). I was a big fan of her when she was an American Idol contestant.
If you're into musicals, definitely watch the movie... if you arent into musicals, you'll probably not enjoy the 2 hours of singing.

Super Tuesday
Well... after all the talk, Primary Election day in TN finally arrived.
I think I went back & forth on my decision 10 times a day over the past few weeks, but I was confident today and happy to touch the button.
A fun sidefact is that I went to vote around 1pm (I left work around noon today...woo hoo) and just happened to run into my friend, Casey... so we got to vote together. Call it "C squared" if you want.
Anyway, I'm anxious to see how the results play out tonight. Hal & I are going to a hockey game, so that'll keep me from being glued to the television until around 10pm. Either way, I'm excited about the prospects for the party I voted for.
I think this is the first time that I've been excited about either one of the major candidates I could choose from.
(By the way, if you are into TN politics, especially Nashville, I suggest you bookmark this website. I read it several times a day and learn a lot of things that dont get picked up by print or tv. It's basically an aggregator of other blogs, but the author keeps his comments non-partisan. The comments are a different issue, but I digress.)

Super Saturday
It's Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow, y'all, and I have just turned out a Super Saturday too!!!
I had some car maintenance stuff to do today, so while I was waiting for them to finish up, I popped over to the used book/cd/dvd store.
I've been wanting the original Matchbox 20 cd for a long time. It's one of my favorite albums (Push, 3am, etc). I found it still in the plastic for $3!!!
I also got a 2 disc collection of #1 hits by Reba McEntire--also still in the plastic for $10.
But that's not all!!!! I found a treasure. I stumbled on the box set of The Judds 1983-1990!!!! How exciting is that??? I freaking love it. It was a bargain at $12.95 so I snatched it up. I dont think it has been listened to before... there arent any scratches. If you're interested, click here to see the songs in this collection.
