Readers and peepers of this here blog, I professed at the beginning of this month that I wanted to MAKE JANUARY AWESOME. There are a number of strategically planned ways I am going to make sure this happens, and one most definite way is with the new KARAOKE system Christmas vacay brought with it.
It's actually far surpassed my expectations of awesomeness.

I cannot express in enough words how much fun and excitement this system has brought to the first few weeks of this year. I first came across this system at Tomas's extended family's house two Christmases ago (see here) and I knew I had to incorporate it into my world.
With my Grandma's 80th Birthday being celebrated this coming weekend at our house, you can betcha by golly that the KARAOKE will suck our guests into its vortex. Yep. That's what I decided it does. No matter who you are or how much you love/hate your voice, to sing, karaoke, etc. YOU WILL SUCCUMB TO THIS KARAOKE SYSTEM'S MAGIC VORTEX OF AWESOMENESS.
Case in point was yesterday, at the Zampelli house, with my friend, Elisa. She has a very high-pitched, nasally (dare I say) Fran Drescher Queens, NY voice and she was so closed off to the idea of karaoke.
"I'll watch you girls sing," she declared.
I knew the karaoke's vortex would pull her and there would be no escape. FOUR HOURS LATER...and a whole ABBA album of karaoke-singing later, I was right. ;)
Here ae some shots of my awesome January Sunday:
"I can't believe we got nothing done yesterday," my mom's been saying.
...and you know what?! Thank God. We both needed a day of nothing, of stress-relief, of relax.
I needed a day with the girls, a day with wine, a day with unbridled dancing and singing, a day of
Thankful for it yesterday.
