Gleefully

A friend of mine loaned me the first season of Glee on DVD. This is the same friend who loaned me Eat, Pray, Love so she must obviously think that I need some light-hearted entertainment in my life. I had seen the pilot episode of Glee so I knew what the show was all about but I didn’t continue watching the series.

This past weekend I popped the DVD into the player and sat down to watch Glee. I knew I couldn’t get bumped because it was my birthday weekend and therefore my choice of program to watch. If the guys didn’t like it, they could go in the den and watch sports or military documentaries.

Well, I really like the show and apparently so do my husband and kids because they sat down and watched it with me. The performers are great and the music is fun. Sometimes the songs are very addictive and I find myself humming them the next day.

The last episode we watched Sunday night featured Beyoncé’s song Single Ladies. I can’t get the song out of my head. Monday night I mentioned that the song had been swirling around inside my head all day and my Sweetie and Mr. A emphatically agreed.

This morning I found myself still singing the same song. So I put my iPod in the docking station and turned on Ms. Beyoncé. Mr. A quickly came around the corner with a look of astonishment…

Mr. A: Did you download that?

PLRH: Yes, I couldn’t get it out of my head so I needed to listen to it out loud.

Mr. A: (eye roll)

PLRH: The difference between me and you & your father is that I can download Beyoncé without the chance of losing my man card.

Mr. A: This is true. But now Dad will get it on his iPod too. (chuckles)

So for your viewing pleasure and so you can get it stuck in your head too, here’s my favorite scene featuring the song Single Ladies…



Disclaimer: I wrote this post before I ever realized that tonight is the season premiere of Glee. As much as the guys seemed to have enjoyed watching Season 1, I have a feeling the season premiere of NCIS will win out over Glee.
