i feel pretty

i feel pretty

When you are primping for a night out or a date, do you ever sing a song? I always do. The exact same song everytime.

My buddy Titi was sitting in the hut when I stood before the mirror making sure the five o’clock shadow was just right. I started singing my song.

He stood up yelling, threatening to leave.

Weeks ago, my daughter did the same thing to me. “DAD, THAT’S NOT FUNNY”.

I will let you decide. Not much into musicals, but I always sing my favorite song from West Side Story.

“I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty
And witty
And gaaaaaay
And I pity any girl who isn’t me today.”

Thoughts anyone?

        Oh you have no idea!
        I have a natural raspy smoker sounding voice – never smoked a day in my life –
        It doesn’t sound so sexy singing but I sing any & everything playing – I LOVE music!
        Feeds my soul💕
        And yes – everyone should sing away…
        I’m up for a duet 😘
        Any takers 😂

            Definitely raspy! I sound like I smoked all my days ! Which I didn’t 😘
            And while I sounded good doing the news – I sound crazy singing 😅
            But I do it anyway
            Because I feel music from my head to my toes😍
            Definitely passionate about tunes 😘
            I’m up for a duet 😅

  11. So does my husband! I think it’s cute. Then again, West Side Story is one musical we both enjoy, so it always makes me smile when he sings it. Keep on singing! Someone out there will think it’s adorable, too.

        1. Doing good. Coming to the island to rest was the right idea. I have the support group here, unlike Florida where I know no one.
          Going to start visiting the beach again. Feeling stronger enough to venture away from home. So, I am better. Thanks for asking.
          Just have to build my strength and rest in prep for April. xoxo
          How are you? I saw parts of a message, I haven;t gotten to yet. YOu moved. Now you are closer to me. Less hours of difference. When I think of all of the work I did to move to south th Florida and you moved across the globe. Oh my. Don’y kow how you did it. You must be exhausted.

          1. You are a complete sweetheart Drew. And I’m glad you’re going to the beach again. Those tropical sunsets…. sigh. Enjoy them and I will live vicariously through your enjoyment (and poetry).

          1. YAY I knew or thought you might like this one:) Nada mejor que un bailecito para animarse verdad! Do you want me to list my talents, or my non-talents now? Lol. Non-talents are quite many as well!!! I suck at all things math/ authorities/ fixing things/ surrendering to the norm, in most cases… 😉 What are your non-talents and talents? 😛

            1. Yeah, it a good song to move to. Dance is great exercise. Thanks for sharing the song.
              LOL. Surrendering to the norm. That is so funny.
              I suffer from that as well. I am allergic to routine.
              Non talents? I am terrible folding clothes when I do laundry. I am even worse concentrating on a book when a pretty lady passes by. (I stopped taking books to the beach). Never a good salsa dancer. I suck fixing things and I hate waiting on long lines.
              LOL. God I suck,

                1. I think my greatest talent is making people laugh. I am also good at making everyone I speak to feel special. I always want to make people feel good. i work at it. I want to leave a positive message with everyone. Perhaps, I should travel the world and leave a little positivity everywhere I go.

                  You Amiga, ay ay ay. Very beautiful and inspiring woman. Contagious smile. Enthusiastic and full of energy. An energy that you transmit to those around you. You probably having an amazing aura.

  27. Tubularsock usually doesn’t sing while combing Tubularsock’s hair. It takes full concentration to the point!

    But it seems that there may be some reason for the solid lack of support for your singing. Now Tubularsock wonders, “what could that be”?

    But sing on ……… damn the torpedoes!

  28. Hey, if it is what gets you in the mindset, keep on singing to your own tune, dude.
    Personally, I like to put on the angriest heavy metal song I can find and remind myself that no matter how anxious I may feel or that people might be jerks to me…I got this, cos I am heavy metal and they can’t dent me.
    To each their own, ya know?

  33. You’re adorable, Drew lol. Sorry I have not yet replied to your comments on my blog. I’m doing fine. It’s just that I was too preoccupied with the big party I’m planning. I joined a sales team, and I was studying our product. I hope you are well.

  40. Hmm…yes, my Lonely Author, I have some thoughts which I shall now articulate in the form of a list because as you know, I HEART LISTS

    Ahem.

    1. I already knew this about you. What, dude?! I’m allowed to know sh** about you! 😂
    2. You ARE mucho pretty lol
    3. This is one of my FAVOURITE musicals ever, not least because of the leading lady’s first name…he he he. Also because…come ON! IT’S WESTSIDE STORY! THE ROMANCE! THE TRAGEDY! THE DRAMA! THE DANCING! THE SONGS! THE LOOOOOOOOOOOVE! And the sexy leading Latino man all…in crazy love with Mariiiiiiaaa…(I’ll come back to that)
    4. I sing constantly, no matter what I’m doing (is your mind wandering?) so this behaviour of yours, Princess (lol) is totally normal. Anyone who thinks otherwise surely has a gaping hole in their lives where MUSIC and chuckle worthy antics are supposed to happily and sexily reside.
    5. I always wanted to play Maria, should I ever have the chance. But I always thought (and many friends with amateur directorial aspirations agreed with me) I was too….exotic looking, shall we say? Lol. Better suited to Anita, they agreed. I could definitely pull off that role, right? But sweet, lovesick Maria was always my dream..oh well! 😂
    6. As a kid, whenever someone would ask my name and I told them I was either greeted with a rendition of “how do you solve a problem like Maria?” from MY FAVE FILM EVER, The Sound of Music or. .. “Mariiiiiia, I just met a girl named Mariiiiiaa!” from this !
    7. Running out of steam here, (but not fire 😘) so I’ll end on 7, a great number. I find this whole image of yours incredibly hawt and a-effing-dorable, and you painted it so *prettily* it will keep my…everything smiling and singing for days💋

    A little hot kiss on your 5 o’ clock shadow

    Your,
    Fiery
    💕🔥
