We went to Costco on Friday to get our passport photos taken (no...I'm not suggesting Costco is heaven on earth...although I think that Cliff might think so...but read on...) Anyhoo, while we are there, we might as well check out the free samples and survey the latest in Christmas decor...that we WON'T be consuming this year, right?
We get to the LAST aisle of the Christmas goods when I see it...(scene: Heavens open, choir of angels sing) THEEE karaoke machine! I've wanted one for YEEEARS...and ever since my sister, Erin, got it a few years ago...THIS one in particular...
LAST year I almost had it, too. I saw it and made the mistake (Costco shoppers out there know the scenario all too well, I'm sure) of leaving the store without it. I had my Costco executive rebate check IN MY PURSE...but like a good wife, I went home to clear the purchase with my partner in crime. Needless to say, when I got back there a few days later, there were none to be had. Literally every time I've been back to Costco since, I've looked for this baby...and there she was, at last! And as kismet would have it, once again, I had my Costco executive rebate check in my purse...and my partner in crime right there for consultation. Life is Beautiful!
I didn't wait to get it home, though...they had one out for demo, so I gave it a spin right there. I was "Workin' for the Weekend" and "Headin' on down to the Love Shack", let me tell you!
I probably should put up a disclaimer here. It's not that I think I'm spectacular at karaoke. I don't have a terrible singing voice, but I'm certainly not fantastic...and I have the WHITEST dance moves, ever (read: Elaine from Seinfeld). But there is just something about karaoke that I can't resist! And if you invite me to a karaoke party...I come to JAM, so you'd better not be letting the kids hog it with "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"...they'd better know some Rick James...or move over!
Jake is always on board for helping if it involves tools!
Isn't it gorgeous?!? (I think we are watching Troy do something on the Xbox at this moment.)
Mr. Fix-It. Doesn't he look 'in his element'?
This is too funny...Troy can't even focus in on me, I'm so into my jam...but watch Coree...
She stops singing all together and moves as far as she can get from me. She says, "Oh yeah, Mom...You're drunk, alright!" It's called, "high on life", sweetie...you should try it!
She obviously has no taste. I was SO Belinda Carlisle on that one!
Mrs. Lisa Troublemaker...I will be awaiting your arrival eagerly...with Superfreak cued and ready!!!
