ode to Michael "Bubble"

Okay, I have this characteristic...or weakness maybe...naaa---QUALITY :) I say things with out sometimes thinking about it? that's not really it either, its not that I say things without thinking, its just sometimes I don't think about listening to what I'm going to say in my head to hear what it will sound like before I actually say it out loud. But, that said, I realize if I did do that it would make my speech t e r r i b l y S L O W paced and I wouldn't be able to carry on a decent conversation --EVER...though my husband thinks I'm challenged there most of the time as well....ANYWAY...I say silly things sometimes and I've done it again, so before anyone else posts about it I'd better clear the air so I can go on with catching up with the last several weeks of holiday happenings.

My friend (which, by the way, after the latest new job at our house that required an extensive background search, I realize that thankfully most of my friends including "Buliss" would count on the "someone who knows you WELL" (7+ yrs I guess is the magic number) category--much love to them all :))...OK so... my friend is a much more suave blogger than I and has fun things on her blog--way more fun than my silly Christmas countdown--the latest addition is a little music tuner that she can put songs on for you to enjoy while you are perusing her posts. WELL, an artist that I am not so familiar with appeared and I asked her about him yesterday on the phone..."Who the heck is Michael 'BUBBLE'??" and yes, I pronounced it like those things that we blow from chewing gum or little bottles of sticky stuff that children delight in...bubbles...so there! How was I to know he had some frenchy pronunciation to his last name? We are in the "sound it out" phase of our lives around here---hard to change gears sometimes...OK, well that is just an excuse because those who know me well know that this is NOT the first verbal faux pas (pronounced: fō-pä) --yeah, I looked it up...anyway, not my first "miss-step" and won't be my last, not that I TRY to do it, sometimes it just happens...and frankly at this point, I think it just makes knowing me a little more memorable, so "chee Hoowa Hoowa" to ya'll! night night!

So, What makes knowing YOU more memorable, Huh?
