We were driving up to mom and dads for Thanksgiving when it all started. An hour and a half drive can cause crazy fun to happen.
Scott says," Hey Cambria sing that new Celine Dion song , Taking Chances." She proceeds to put her earpiece in her ear from the i-pod and start singing. She has great pitch. I’m a bit envious. Then Marissa was next. Her voice is so sweet and I feel tears come to my eyes. The family was begging me to join in but I adamantly refused. Scott says proudly, "I’ll sing it!"
Hearing Scott, or any man, belt out Celine’s song is really pretty scary. Because the notes are so high Scott was forced to scream them to hit them and even then I don’t think you could say he was reaching them. The girls were laughing hard by now and I was merely covering my ears to survive.
Somehow after hearing Scott’s version it didn’t seem like such a bad idea to give it a try so, you guessed it, I sang. I am no Celine Dion. Never have been, never will be and there is actual proof of that now. After I got done with my rendition Scott revealed the taped version of me singing on his video. He secretly recorded me while I was concentrating on hitting the notes! Ugh!
Well of course he did. I really wouldn’t expect any less from him. What was I thinking? I laughed. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, pretending I was Celine, that is.
Are you kidding me? I thought I sounded great!
I want to know why I sound so fantastically great a singer in the car and shower (except for the high notes), then I sing at church (flat) and on the karaoke (even flatter)… but I still won’t give up the mic – ask my husband!
We had an old great aunt who used to get names mixed up. eg, Curtis was Sertis, she daren’t even attempt our daughter’s name Cadence. Then, after Craig’s sisters went to see Celine in concert, great auntie began talking about “Sirloin” and the name has stuck (we’re not big fans of hers anyways)!
Michelle,
Life is beautiful and good, despite what we are going through. Thanks for your blog. When I read it, it helped me deal with reality so we could move on. Now we are moving on and still praying for a miracle. We are thankful for each day…it’s like a present God gives us.
The snow is floating down over here and it’s just beautiful. We’ll be off to church is a little bit. Have a WONDERFUL day! Love you much!
Love,
Sheri
