So I have been shy my entire life. There are times when you simply cannot be shy, take a sales call for instance, you have to approach a complete stranger and become friends with them in a matter of seconds. Funny how I excelled at that but I have a hard time when it is on a personal level.
Tonight we had a nice get together with Heidi Gilmore and her kids. We had some dinner, a little FHE lesson and then we fired up the Karaoke machine. Usually I do pretty good with that and I have no problem singing with the kids or even singing at a party with lots of onlookers. Well, you know my artist of choice is Neil. Heidi was wanting to hear me sing a little Neil and I froze up, wimped out, just couldn't muster up enough courage to go for it. So disappointed in myself. I will have to turn this into a positive and just invite Heidi out to another Karaoke party and then "sing, sing a song. sing, sing a song of songs. sing it out, sing it strong, sing it, sing it, sing it yeah..." Sorry all for the lack of courage. I will do better.
As far as the rest of the night, I think the kids had a wonderful time. There were new things to explore, new games to try. Jack whooped up on me in his first game a battleship, Natty was in Heaven and Andy was fantastic with the front loader (except for the times that Jack was trying to take it away), they enjoyed Hungry Hippos, Mouse Trap and other games. At one point Jack came in and was excited to show us his Snake. I enjoyed the visit as well.
On another note when we got home Jack had hit us with a new quote. "Fontano is long, it wraps around the whole town." He certainly connected something long with his long last name. Also, Grand Opening week at the Little Brick House. Ma was interviewed on the radio this morning and was a natural. When she completely forgot the phone number she just kind of played it down all cool like. She was great.
