To bring some holiday cheer, I wrote this little song and once again, just recorded it with the built-in mic on my iMac (I'm not even sure where it is, I just sing towards the screen! :)
He did the illustrations yesterday so I could make this into a YouTube video and post it for you all. Thanks, baby! I love you!
I did not post the words because it would ruin the surprises! PM me if you want them; I'm happy to send them along.
Thanks for all you've given me, OSers!
Love,
OM

I can't that you enough and yes I know those sleepless nights lit by the monitor too, except now we deal with the site going down in the early hours.
The two of you here make quite a pair. Must mean meant to be....
such a friendly Christmas spirit .
Scarlett - Thanks much! I am not as funny as these amazing comedy writers (I should have hired one!), but I had to give it a shot. :-)

To be honest, I did struggle with how to draw a coffee snort without being too graphic. Fortunately spilling my own beer the night before provided the inspiration ;)
JK - Frank said that too! Don't worry, I type OS instead of OM all the time... As I always say, editing is so much easier than typing! And thanks...I'm glad I found my voice again too...I can credit Smithery for that, too.
Karin! Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
And yes, I remember hearing over the phone as you spilled your beer. Glad it brought you visions! Love you!

CAT - RED!!! My second-favorite colo(u)r. I would have picked PINK, my favorite colo(u)r, but I figured that since I was representing Smithery, too, I ought to consider his feelings. :) I hope everyone joins your Call.

I was at work yesterday & couldn't listen there (sorry I'm late), but Pleez post the words--I could hear it pretty good, but not good enough over the noisy gardeners outside today.
Happy Whatsmas to you & Smithery!
xoxoxo,
{{{R}}} for rapture!
Tai - Thanks!
Thoth - Thank you as well - and we're sending our happy thoughts to you as well. Happy Holidays!

Joy - Thank heavens! And I did get one electronic toy already - a video camera. I've killed three in the past 5 years. Oops!
Silkstone - Thanks much! I definitely learned a lot of more about iMovie - like how to "undo last action" ..... over and over! ;-)
Your voice is hauntingly beautiful, the illustrations are so great, the words are hilarious and poetic, the use of technology mind blowing, and the whole package = PRICELESS!
All I can say is, you are one amazing woman OM! I wish I could rate this thrice! :)
Happy Holidays and thank you for being such a lovely friend.
xoxo Cathy
That was so cool! I can honestly say, this is the first gift I've opened on Christmas day. You have a lovely voice and I'm so glad you're here with me on this balmy Florida Christmas night.
Much love and Merry Christmas!
(thumbified for awesomeness)
Beautiful funny song and great illustrations. Merry Christmas you two.
Kent - Thanks much!!
HB - Chardonnay - waaaaaaay better than coffee!! :-)
charlie - I didn't realize how many squeeze-em-ins there were. Any other day, I woulda annoyed myself! And I agree - Smithery did a wonderful job!
Jodi - Welcome! What a huge honor, to be first on Christmas Day! It's not balmy here in CA, but it's still pret-ty nice! Much love and Merry Christmas to you as well! And thanks!
skeletnwmn - You know, you made me weepy. We are so very well-suited for each other and we didn't intend to fall in love... But we recognize this to be our greatest gift. Thanks for thinking such kind thoughts for us. You're a doll. Merry Christmas from us.
Floyd - Thanks - it was a fun project!

Steve - Oh, thank you! Merry, Merry Christmas!
I will have to come back to listen to the video.. The snow storm we are having now is making it hard to watch videos right now..

Several of us have posted our singing here - we should get together (somehow, thru the ether) and form a choir. Or at least a quartet or octet or whatever. I've been practicing harmony...)
Myriad - i LOVE singing harmony! I'd be happy to be any of y'all's backup singer!
Kyle - Well, my goodness, you just made me - what? Blush and happy and humbled and all of that! And if you end up in the land of no-angels...make sure you give me a hug hello! :-)
Sweet voice, sweet song and sweet sentiments.
Thank you.
