I am in love with a skillet.....
Remember Dr. Hook And The Medicine Show band from the 1970's?!?!
They sang
"When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman."
Well, I sang this song several nights ago after I had just gotten my NEW AWESOME CAST IRON SKILLET from my sister-in-law for Christmas.
Except I sang out loud and proud, "WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH A BEAUTIFUL SKILLET."
Does that seem weird to you?
Don't answer.

Just for kicks,
and because I have just learned how to embed You Tube videos here...(YAY),
I embedded Dr. Hooks video from 1978 of the band singing that Beautiful Woman song.
Here, take a little peek...
I guess you need to use like Mozilla to see this video. If you are using Internet Explorer (Hi Mom!) you may need to go to another computer to enjoy all the fineness of Dr. Hook's music.
I also took some liberties with the written lyrics below.

When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
It's hard .
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
You know it's hard .
Everybody wants your skillet
Everybody loves your skillet
Everybody wants to take your skillet home .
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
You watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
It never ends .
You know that it's crazy
You want to trust the skillet
then somebody hangs up when you answer the 'phone .
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
You go it alone .
Maybe it's just that ego problem .
Problem is I've been fooled before
My fair weatherfriends
and faint hearted lovers
but every time it happens
it just convinces me more .
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
you watch your eyes .
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
You look for lies .
Everybody tempts the skillet
Everybody tells the skillet
She's the most beautiful skillet they know .
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
You go it alone
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
You watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
It never ends .
It's hard .
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
You know it's hard .
Everybody wants your skillet
Everybody loves your skillet
Everybody wants to take your skillet home .
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
You watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
It never ends .
You know that it's crazy

When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
You go it alone
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
You watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful skillet
It never ends .
I think I'll name my skillet "Sylvia" after
Dr. Hook's other song,
"Sylvia's Mother".
Remember Sylvia's Mother Mrs. Avery?
What a witch!
Just kidding.
"....and the operator said 40 cents more for the next three minutes, PLEEEAAASSSEE Mrs. Avery, I, just gotta talk to her, I'll only keep her a while...."

And just to keep things interesting, I'm embedding Jon
"say what the what?" Bon Jovi singing "Sylvia's Mother."
Don't hate me!
"say what the what?" Bon Jovi singing "Sylvia's Mother."
Don't hate me!
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy, too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's tryin' to start a new life of her own
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's happy so why don't you leave her alone
And the operator says forty cents more for the next three minutes
Please Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her,
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell her goodbye
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's packin' she's gonna be leavin' today
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's marryin' a fella down Galveston way
Sylvia's mother says please don't say nothin' to make her start cryin' and stay
And the operator says forty cents more for the next three minutes
Please Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her,
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell her goodbye
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's hurryin' she's catchin' the nine o'clock train
Sylvia's mother says take your umbrella cause Sylvie, it's startin' to rain
And Sylvia's mother says thank you for callin' and sir won't you call back again
And the operator says forty cents more for the next three minutes
Please Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her,
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell her goodbye
Tell her goodbye...
Please... tell her goodbye..

Well crap.
Those lyrics were depressing.
Ima not name my skillet Sylvia after all.
Ima name her Rocky.
Because one day we may run
up the steps of the Philly Art
Museum together.
Don't laugh. It could happen!
Okay fine,
I won't bore you with any more videos.
But I will be showcasing Rocky quite a bit on this here blog in the future.
The skillet, not the actor.
Duh.
Sheeeezzzz....
Happy Friday!!!!
By the way, I want to paint my bathroom this color coral; isn't it pretty?
Pretty 80's probably, but still.
