    Hi guys, thread drift - I need some lyrics. You're all such fabulous wordsmiths, maybe you can help me out? Remember Adam Sandler in that Wedding movie? He sang that song, "I wanna grow old with you". Well we're using it in our musical and we're adding an extra verse. (It's about an 80 year old couple looking back on their life.)

    We added this part.

    We’ve been together, for sixty years,
    With laughter, and love, and sometimes tears
    It’s been, so nice, growing old with you

    I want you by my side, for as long as we live
    Sharing these moments, we have so much to give
    I’ve been so happy, growin’ old with you


    And now I need one more set of the last part that follows this pattern (- this next part below are the actual lyrics - I just want you to see the pattern).

    I’ll miss you
    Kiss you
    Give you my coat when you are cold

    Need you
    Feed you
    Even let ya hold the remote control


    I'm trying to find rhyming verbs that fit the song, as well as the 3rd sentence which sort of has to rhyme with the first 3 line set. (Does that make sense?)

    I have the one below but I'm not happy with it. Maybe you have an idea of how to fix it, or a different idea altogether? (Remember, this is a family show. )

    I’ll squeeze you
    Tease you
    Remind you, when you, forget your keys

    I’ll swoon you
    Spoon you
    blah blah blah maybe - "open your door when we're out on a date" ? (but it doesn't rhyme with keys...)

    I’ll squeeze you
    Tease you
    Tell you where you left your keys (or teeth, whichever you wish)

    I’ll swoon you
    Spoon you
    Put the seat down after I pee?

    Well, I like it, and I'll bet it would give all the 8 yo boys a giggle.

    I am back!

    I am alive and well. If it had been truly serious or worse, DH would have let everyone on TD know. I did miss the concert. The boys and DH did not. The prayers and well wishes meant a lot to me. Lise, you placed my avatar pic next to the Virgin of Guadalupe for some extra loving help? Thank You! ((((HUGS to all of you!))))

    Knot-Fried Chicken Queen-oh what did I miss?

    Duck- welcome.

    Lisa- I hope you and your husband are both over your colds.

    KG- How was your son's choral concert? My oldest will be at a not so local mall this coming week.

    CC-I hope you and Ian have a wonderful time. Did you take lots of pictures?

    Kit- I hope you never got the flu and DGF is recovered. Glad to hear Miz Cakes is home and lovely as ever.

    OTG- you are being too hard on yourself. You are doing well and will succeed. Slow and steady may not be what you desire right now, but it will be the best in the long run. happiness is not a weight or pant size. Happiness comes from within happiness is not a weight or pant size. Happiness comes from within. Remember, there are a lot of sad, skinny people (who have no muscle tone). And skinny does not equal happy. What is an idea weight? The one you are happy at that is healthy! And happiness comes from loving yourself, not who you think you will become.

    Pam-Welcome to TD.

    DD- I love your sig line! " Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy."

    (((Nanci))))-money trouble sucks. My loan repayment schedule that began when I graduated and will follow me to my grave. Being a responsible grown-up sucks. I hope you get to see your grandson!! My boys will adopt you. They love your snakes already. Forget about the weight. It will come back off. Trust me, life is too short. Think about all the positive things. Focus only on those things that truly bring you happiness.
    Oh, you do not look 50-wait you are not quite 50! I hope I look that good when I am 48! And Lisa's SS gift idea, is awesome. SS, in my opinion is wonderful, but one should not stress over it. It is supposed to be fun.
    I never plan to go back to MN. Maybe you daughter could save up and find an inexpensive ticket to FL?

    Mr. Toad is too cute and look at that beautiful shell on Koko!!

    Salsa-any idea when the contractors will be finished with your home?

    X-A huge thank you for posting for me and being able to put up with me talking a thousand miles and hour on the phone. Loved the patient wearing only a smile.

    Snap=I am glad to hear your spirits are improved, and that Cloe had a good run. What kind of cookies are you making this weekend? I need to do that, but I am a terrible baker.

    Trek-love the iguana story. Awesome song lyrics.

    Just kidding, whew, Bmomof3, don't do that to us again, ok?

    HEY! I'm finally getting in a bit of catching up on TD. I have pages and pages to go yet, but I am so happy to see Jennifer back on TD!!! You'd better believe that your avatar pic is right there next to la Virgen. And it will go right back up there anytime you scare us like that again! I'm at work right now--a decent night shift, got about 3 hr sleep. Going to examine a pt now, then home in 1.5 hr. Someday I'll get caught up on TD!

    Had a lovely, lovely weekend with J. Went through some difficult feelings for both of us, talked about it, feel closer than ever. This is a new and wonderful experience for me.

    Trek--I love the Chloe-wet-and-dancing-with-loofah-dog image!

    Nanci--remember when you offered to make PR come down and hug me when I was stressing out over money? I send the same sentiment to you, except maybe it would be...Chris Noth? Salsa's right, you're one of a kind, and we're lucky to know you.

    OK! OK! I'm getting back to work!

    I was going to make Cinnamon Buttons - they use Hershey's Cinnamon Drops. But the stupid Safeway by me doesn't carry Hershey's Cinnamon Drops. (#&$^*@#%*!!!!!!

    I'll try Lunardi's tomorrow - they usually carry much more than freakin' Safeway.

    It's raining right now, I love the sound of raindrops. My silly dog wants to go outside and sit in the rain. Chloe is not the brightest crayon in the box at times...

    BMo3!!!!! YOU'RE BAAAAAAACK!!!!!

    Oh, I'm so happy! Welcome back, dear! We were all so worried and scared for you! Phone calls and PMs flashing up and down and across the continent with concern for you!

    Glad you are back!

    BMO3, glad your boys have adopted me, when are they coming to visit???

    Snap, I had to buy a bag of crickets for the toad. In the car, hopping around in their bag, they sounded like rain. you could get some for the dry times!

    I am watching Transamerica again. It is very good. I found something in the fridge tonight that made me laugh so hard I cried and almost peed.

    Knot I am glad to be back. I overdid it last night and kinda got sick, but I am okay today.

    I think it very cool that Sknot plays the bassoon and you played the oboe.

    Snap says I need to rest, so I am checking in here then going to rest like a good girl. (does not mean I must like it).

    KG-your son looks angelic. My oldest is singing at a mall near DH's work this upcoming week and he will go to see him. There is a concert for us family members will be Tuesday night. DH said the twins played beautifully (okay as well as anyone new to an instrument can). One plays the Oboe, the other the Basson.

    Okay Snap, I am going now. Geesh.

    Have a wonderful Friday night everyone. I missed all of you!!!!
