Magical Moment 111, "The Grocery Store Song"

A goofy, angry, break-up song. Just for giggles. (video at the bottom)


"The Grocery Store Song" words and music by Elizabeth Grimes Copyright 2009

Vs1 :
Bout swallowed my tongue when I saw you in the check out line.
You smiled, said hi, and asked if you could help me outside.
Well no thanks. I’m good.
If I had twice this much to carry don’t think I would
Extend the courtesy and allow you to help.
Why don’t you run along and find someone else.
Someone whose life you haven’t yet wrecked.
If she’s stupid enough then maybe she’ll accept.
I think it’s only fair that she knew
what it is she’d be getting herself into
so before you go and ruin her life
you might wanna say something like….

Chorus:
Hi I’m a lying sack of dirt,
you can’t tell right now but I’m quite a jerk.
You won’t find out though for a long long time
after you’ve given me your heart, body, and mind.
I’ll tell you nice things and string you along
then when I leave you make you wonder what you did wrong.
Then you’ll be a wreck for years on end,
but no matter what your heart will never mend.

Vs 2:
Well, off you go and remember to watch your step.
The last thing we need is for you to fall and trip
And break your arm or gash your knee
or be in any kind of misery.
And just to show my feelings aren’t hurt,
I made you this t-shirt….it says

Chorus
Scat
Tag:
So take care, nice to see you, tell the family hi.
No, I can carry all my bags, but thanks and goodbye.

Magical Moment 625, "Thailand - the Elephants"

Needless to say, my favorite part of our Thailand vacation, was our week long volunteering at  Elephant Nature Park ! The logging industry was banned in Thailand in 1989, leaving thousands of elephants unemployed. These elephants are now used for tourism. You may have heard of elephant shows featuring the animals playing soccer or painting pictures with their trunks. They are no doubt amazing to watch, but the sad truth is that these elephants have gone through a series of torture and abuse to "break their spirit" by their trainers. This short clip is very hard to watch, but it will give you an idea of what the elephants in captivity in the country of Thailand go through. The only elephants in Thailand who do  not  endure this, are the very few baby elephants who are first generation born in "safe captivity" at places like Elephant Nature Park. Every other elephant at this park has been brutally abused. Some have been blinded by their owners, le...

Magical Moment 620, "Lilac Garden"

Eddie and I visited the Lilac Gardens at Ringwood Manor in New Jersey, a pristine and beautiful state park with 8 species of lilacs and several varieties within. We went on a rainy afternoon, which turned out perfect because the rain stopped for us when we got there, and began again as soon as we left. It also decorated the plants with gorgeous rain drops, adding to their beauty.  And now for a quick game of "Where's Elizabeth?" And "Where's Eddie?" ~~Have a great weekend! ~~

Magical Moment 280, "The Eleventh Hour"

The Veterans Day Parade, NYC On July 29, 2001 , five exceptional men were honored by the President of the United States for their remarkable military service. They were involved in a top secret mission that required unfathomable intelligence and as a result, literally won a battle which was instrumental in winning the war. Not the war that was happening in 2001, not even the Gulf War. It was World War II, and they were the Navajo Code Talkers who were largely responsible for winning the bloody battle of Okinawa. The only problem with the ceremony was that just 5 remained of the original 29. Our country was too late in thanking the other 24, and nearly too late in thanking those 5 men. On March 10, 2010, three hundred women won the Congressional Gold medal for their outstanding war service. Unfortunately, 800 received the award posthumously. These were the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of World War II, who devoted themselves to flying military aircraft like the B-26 and B-...
