About a year ago at work, I realized that i could not make an Ampersand. Seems really easy but could not do it to save my life. I even printed some out and traced them and they just looked like jacked up "s"es. My friend Marni actually googled the directions for me, a "how to" if you will and I learned- but in the time it took me to make one real good one, I could have written the word and about 100 times. Sitting in my shred box to this day, are little scrap pieces of paper in which I have doodled many ampersands. I used to draw 3d squares whilst on the phone and now I am trying to perfect my wonky ampersand.

Speaking of ampersands, I have mentioned before that I am a fan of pretty much all music. I don't think there is anyone out there that has never messed up a lyric or two....

But when I hear Ram Jam's "Black Betty"- I sing it as so.... Whoa Black Betty (Ampersand),  Whoa Black Betty (Ampersand) Black Betty had a child (Ampersand) the damn thing gone wild (Ampersand) and so on

Other lyrics I have jacked up

Rolling Stones "Beast of Burden" I'll never be your big suburban, I've walked for miles, my feet are hurtin

Creedence Clearwater Revival "Bad Moon Rising" Don't go round tonight, well it's bound to take your life. There's a bathroom on the right.

Paula Abdul "Straight up" Straight up now tell me, do you really want love to eat for breakfast

I also went through a stage where I thought Bruce Springsteen sang a bunch of songs that he definitely did not, On the dark Side, I'm No Angel.....
