O.k. sorry, I’m done. \u00a0I was just busy having a blast from the past. \u00a0I’ll stop singing now. \u00a0Thanks for your patience.<\/p>\n

Anyway, so I have been deep into revisions of the oh-so-sappy\u00a0Daphna In The Rough<\/em>\u00a0and my brain is fried. I was all up night worried about it. \u00a0(I mean my book, not my brain. \u00a0My brain I’ll worry about tonight.) \u00a0In an attempt to wake and cheer myself up, I decided to have a little fun with YouTube, and found my old friend\u00a0Rosie<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Rosie and I go way back. \u00a0I’ll confess that when I was a kid, I used to put on a pink feather boa and a big hat and sing along to the record (yes, I’m\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0old). \u00a0Then, when I taught elementary school, the\u00a0Nutshell Library<\/a>\u00a0and Really Rosie soundtrack had a huge presence in my classroom.<\/p>\n

Learning the months of the year? \u00a0Easy! \u00a0<\/p>\n

Oh my once, on my twice, oh my oh <\/em>Chicken Soup With Rice<\/em><\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

And any student who dared to say, “I don’t care!” had to hear me sing\/read this:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ah, I wish\u00a0Carole King<\/a>\u00a0sang more children’s music.<\/p>\n

And with that, I’ll end this trip down memory lane and get back to edits. \u00a0Must be done before\u00a0RWA Nationals<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Wish me luck! \u00a0<\/p>\n
