Squirrel Songs

 



I saw a meme on Facebook that had a picture of this squirrel and the words: “Any song is better if you replace the word girl with squirrel. Go ahead, try it. And I did! Here are some of the results. And feel free to sing along…

 

To all the squirrels I’ve loved before…Willie Nelson

 

Squirrels just want to have fun...Cyndi Lauper

 

Young squirrel, get out of my mind. My love for you is way out of line…Gary Puckett & The Union Gap

 

I guess you’d say, what can make me feel this way? My squirrel, my squirrel, my squirrel. Talkin’ ‘bout my squirrel…The Temptations

 

Brown Eyed Squirrel…Van Morrison

 

Uptown Squirrel…Billy Joel

 

Material Squirrel…Madonna

 

American Squirrel…Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

 

*There are a LOT more. But now let’s get REALLY weird, and replace the word world with squirrel and see how THAT comes out…

 

We Are The Squirrels…USA for Africa

 

What a Wonderful Squirrel…Louis Armstrong

 

Everybody Wants to Rule the Squirrels…Tears For Fears

 

Wild Squirrel…Cat Stevens

 

I’d like to teach the Squirrels to sing, in perfect harmony…the New Seekers (and you thought it was just a Coke commercial!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljg9UhAnN2o

 

A Whole New Squirrel from the movie Alladin

 

So…now it’s YOUR turn…

Wedding Registries

 



 

It’s that time of year when a lot of weddings start taking place. Registries are very important. Some have things listed that are practical. Some have things that are just plain fun. Some have unusual things listed. Here are a few things from those lists…

 

A teacher had all the household things already, so her list consisted of classroom supplies and backpacks full of supplies for her students. She lived in a small town and the local paper had an article about it. Perfect strangers came by the reception to leave backpacks at the door. Brilliant idea!

 

A couple did a pet food registry so they could donate the food to an animal shelter that had a pet food bank. Another great idea.

 

A couple had a “family” registry. I would guess there were a lot of relatives that they interacted with on a regular basis. They asked for board games, popcorn, candy bars, etc.

 

More from random lists:


A new cat tower

 

A video birdfeeder

 

Snow tires

 

A mini icee machine

 

Life sized skeleton (?)

 

Extension ladder

 

Nose hair trimmers (?)

 

A very nice/expensive bidet

 

Pokémon cards

 

Camping gear

 

Tools

 

His and hers bowling balls

Weird Facts About Me



AKA –things you never wanted to know about me and could not care less about…

 

Favorite planet:

Earth. It’s where I keep all my stuff. Second favorite is Jupiter. What’s not to like? It’s huge and has that cool “red spot.”

 

Favorite pasta shape:

Bow ties. They make me happy. They are also wonderful for crafting angel wings.

 

Favorite outdoor temp:

73° -- maybe a little more if there’s a nice breeze.

 

Completely neutral on:

Whole wheat or cracked wheat bread.

 

Favorite ocean:

Pacific. Looks so cool with a sunset.

 

Donut holes or donuts:

Both. Enough of the holes and you have the same amount as a donut.

 

What’s my “jam”:

Cats, obvi… also blueberry.

 

Theme song:

This changes ALL THE TIME. Right now it’s On Top Of The World by Imagine Dragons. The one that ALWAYS makes me smile and feel good, though, is Light & Day/Reach for the Sun by The Polyphonic Spree. There is no more joyous song than that one.

 

Wanna know anything else about me? Just ask. Keep it clean.

Random Thought:

Why do spiders have to be the thing inside houses? Why can't it be hamsters? Why can't I open a drawer and see a tiny hamster eating a carrot?
