Monday, Monday

Anyone old enough to remember the Mama's and the Papa's? I mean, anyone alive when Monday, Monday was a big hit?!

When I was in high school (all girl Catholic school), my friends and I would take turns going to each other's homes on the weekends. We would each sing a different part - I was generally the Mama Cass voice (more of an alto than a soprano). We would sing all the Mama's and Pappa's songs, and then we would sing Motown - Supremes, Temptations, and we would end with the Turtles.

Must have been 8th and 9th grade, none of us were old enough to date yet, so we just did girl things. And way before karioke was ever thought of, we were singing and dancing in Mimi's or Marianne's or Laurie's or my basement. That was about the most fun we ever had together - no bickering - too young to be stealing each other's boyfriends, and too naive to notice the difference in our parents' incomes.

Wow, I meant to talk about my Monday at work - Just goes to show how scattered I can be.
