I Shall Invoke the Name of Celine

Posted on April 24, 2010 by halalamama

Lorie:  Soo…what did you do today?

Me:  Pulled weeds on the patio.  We got a warning from the complex because I had only done about half of it so far.

Lorie: A WARNING?  I’ve never heard of such a thing.  In all the complexes we ever lived in we never had to put up with that.

Me: …yeah, well…

Lorie:  I’ll bet Celine Dione doesn’t have to put up with that shit.  (let me point out that this was totally of the blue.  It’s not like we sit around and talk about Canadian on a regular basis…or well….ever)

Me:  ::snicker::  I’m living a caviar life on a White Castle budget, but from now on I shall invoke the name of Celine and see how that goes.  I’ll bet she doesn’t have to clean her patio of weeds.

    I heard she lives in a house that’s like 70% humidity to keep her voice perfect.

    ….can you imagine the mold?
