570. The sun is shining outside, and so much more to be thankful for...

At the top of the mile-long list: good health, family, new and old friends, LIFE!

Being alive rocks.

May this season bring you numerous and unexpected blessings.

janelle-renée's favorite song of the day!

It's a happy song!

Boll Weevil by The Presidents of the United States of America:

Let me tell you bout a friend of mine
His name is Boll Weevil, check him out now

Spends all day
on his big butt
And he don't ever, ever get outside
I come to visit,
I bring some sunshine
And I just spread it all over the fire

He's stuck on his big couch
Stuck in his big show
He looks at the TV and he's all right
I come from the drug lord, the local drug store
(Bug is supplied) and he's never uptight

And I wonder:
"Boll Weevil, why don't you get out of your home?"

He said, "I'm comfortable here.
Don't wanna move, don't wanna leave!"

I said, "Boll Weevil, get right out of your home!"

Goodbye, I gotta stay
I will some other day
Bye Bye, gotta go to sleep
And let the tube shine
Let the tube shine

Now, I would tell you bout boll weevil
But that bug is just too scary!
He's sittin' there all alone
I try to coach him out, but he would not (try surprise?)
But he would not move a muscle when I tried

Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside

Boll Weevil, get right out of your home!

Now, I would tell you bout boll weevil
But that bug is just too scary!
He's sittin' there all alone
I try to coach him out, but he would not (drop his pies)
But he would not move a muscle when I tried

Make him see that the sun is shinin' outside
Make him see that the sun is shinin' out
Make him see the sun is shinin' outside

Come on little buggy, he's a little bug!

Hi! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

Aww! My Blog helped you! Hehe, I never planned on watching "Click," either but someone recommended it. It's a decent movie but I was expecting it to be terribly average so I was a bit surprised by it. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hope my blog comes to help you many more times! =]

I love that album. Every song on it is fun.

Kevin: Thank you! Hope you had a nice holiday.

Mike: It's the best. Whenever I listen to it I wanna move to the country and eat fresh fruit. Like peaches!

Dean: Not that I didn't trust you, but I downloaded Leadbelly's song (for free!) at Amazon...

I have to disagree. I like The President's song much better. It's happy. Their Boll Weevil has a home. Poor Leadbelly's Boll Weevil is homeless with a family. I cried.
