anther holiday caroling/singing memory i have is of this song –
i still sang with my mother’s church choir for awhile after being a semi-closet sikh. i felt happy to be sikh, but wasn’t ready to let her extremely religious church mates know this, so i kept it to myself and stuck with the choir for awhile just because i enjoyed singing until i forget what happened and we both gave up. i think my mum couldn’t make the stairs up to the loft anymore. anyhoo, the verssion in this video doesn’t quite do the exact justice our choir did, but it was i think my favourite song to sing in the choir. the way we sang it, it was sweetly haunting, yet perfectly got the message across. it was extra haunting when we sang itat midnight mass (which i was present for a few). i used to enjoy midnight mass, imply because we dressed up, sang at a seemingly odd hour (according to my body clock which did not sing in public at midnight any other time), and the church was hauntingly beautiful itself. the lights were turned out and everyone held candles. im happy that i am who i am now, but i do admit i’m happy that i got to have these memories in my life as well.
btw also chipping in with my prayers for little tucker cotton!
so now that i can join the drinks crowd, i got me some angry orchard hard cider as a libation option for new years eve (though i must be careful as i will probably work new year’s even and new year’s day. i have to ask my patient what she wants to do.)
one reason besides the strictness that in this case i have decided to relax on over the summer as i discovered how therapeutic it can be in moderation, is the fact that lot of booze just tatses nasty to me. beer, for instance i just can’t do. tried a few, but unless it’s mixed in stuff n that bitter taste is hidden, nope can’t do. anyway, this stuff is sweet with a nice body to it. it doesn’t really even taste so much like an alcoholic drink –
and of course my traditional, non alc accompanyment –
we didnt have trader joes near me in pa, so i stick to the classic martinelli’s. i decided to stray from martinellis for the simple fact that i can find martinellis everywhere and have it any time of year now, and because they do not make blueberry flavour. the first year i came to ny, i was prepping for the holidays when i lost my first place. i was very depressed but decided to pick myself up by trying to celebrate the holidays somehow. i managed to scrape together enough for the blueberry sparkling stuff, a new years eve hat and glasses. i was at my friends apartment at the time (where i was staying till i got myself back on my feet), and had tried to make it down to times square. sadly, i had to pee, and had to retreat back to her place. so each time i get this stuff it’s a testament to how i’ve managed to keep myself going another year despite whatever i faced. this year hasn’t been 100% rosy, but work wise it’s better than last year was. i was able to afford a spare bottle this time, for whatever – be it christmas beforehand, or an extra enjoyment on new years itself…or soemthing else even….
just to let u all know this is NOT my pic. i have black hair and its longer, but i found this pic when i was hunting for the sparkling cider one, and had to laugh. this is totally me on new year’s eve, except i dont bother pouring any into a separate glass. last year, catface was upstairs with his buddies watching some guy stuff, and came down just in time for the countdown. when midnight struck, i opened my bottle (i think it was pomegranate last year as they ran out of blueberry before i got to it), and the damn thing went all over. i was bathed in the the stuff. he watched the whole thing and laughed so hard. he’s counting on a repeat of it. the year before i had gotten gold leggings when i went to atlantic city with my late neighbour and wore those. we’ll see what antics i come up with this year.
Evening Deb, I’m chuckling at the image of Kitty and the grey cat staring at each other.
I think you are spot on as far as HRH, she has perked up a lot since Airy arrived home and while we were outside she wanted up to chase her around the terrace and she and Daddy played ‘lets/not lacerate’ Dad’s fingers. She won that game while dad had several small punctures to show for his silly actions. She is stalking around the house at the moment but I am sure she will follow me upstairs to bed and head straight for Airy’s/her room.
Nighty night all, catch you on the flip side.
Popping back into cafe again for a few mins.. Hope everyone is having a lazy Sunday 🙂
