Sunny Day, Sweepin' the Clouds Away

So the sunshine and cool temp today has me all excited because it's fall and my wedding anniversary is this week. I'm just a little giddy.

We woke up this morning to fighting cats (no surprise there) and brilliant sunshine. As I was drinking my coffee the Sesame Street song popped into my head. When I was a kid, I LOVED Sesame Street. In fact, there isn't a person I've met that hasn't seen this iconic show (if they live in the US that is). Its so hard to pick my favorite character. I think Snuffleupagus, then I change to Cookie Monster, then I change to Ernie, then Grover, then Slimy the worm (he didn't say much but I liked his colors), then Oscar the Grouch. I never really liked Elmo. He kind of annoyed me so I really don't get why he's such a big deal these days.

Anyway, I really like the little stories and the characters. The slightly scary thing is that I remember way to much about that show than I think I should. If they used whatever ninja tactics they used in Sesame Street, on me when I was in school, I would definitely have excelled at match, science, and maybe even gym. Yes. Gym. Here are some the bits I remember that are so inconsequential (big word!) I wish I could forget them and remember really important things like where I put my extra set of keys for the Saturn I just turned in.
Drumroll please....In no particular order...

• Mr. McFeely (wait. Nope. That's Mr. Rodgers)
• The story about the kid who's mom wants him to go to the store and buy a stick of butter, a container of milk, and a loaf of bread.
• Teeny Little Super Guy
• When the guy who ran the grocery store died (Mr. Hooper)
• When James Taylor sang on the show and I told everyone he and my dad were best friends
• When Gordon and what's her name when to an art museum
• When Gordon and Maria (that's her name!) got married
• Some bit where kids were playing in a park
• The Ladybugs picnic
• I dance myself to sleep
• "Waiter! There's a fly in my soup!"
• Something with a ballerina and eating cottage cheese? How random is that!
• Something with a little house and flowers. I have no idea.
• Near........Far.....
• Cookie!
• Ala Peanut Butter Sandwiches!
• 1. Ah Ah Ah 2. Ah ah ah
• Sesame Street Theater...something about a flower.

Okay, with all of this reminiscing, I'm off to watch the clips. I'm sure I'll remember more! What a genius show.








Ha ha ha! I was watching the Jelly Man Kelly and the kids woke up the cat! Awesome.
