Many of you know my old roommate and bff, Peggy. You may not know however, that she love love loves the Oakridge Boys. So many nights, she insisted I stay up until all hours singing "I wish you could have turned my head, but left my heart alone!" with her. She had a poster of William Lee Golden in her room. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that I loved that immature, silly time in my life, but I'm still grateful I didn't cave when she asked me to move to Memphis to stalk them in real life! Oh, how times have changed.
So now, in her honor, on this, her 32nd birthday -- I dedicate this video.
Love you, Peg. For'er.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
About Me
- Leanne
- I am many people. I am the loving wife to Cory (the captain). I am the proud momma to Cole, Matthew (Matty), and Jack, and now...a daughter, Clara. My kids are my life. I am a Realtor, living the dream of being able to work from home so I can raise my kids. These things are important to me: my faith, my family, my world, my friends. I believe in surrounding myself with good people. I believe in good energy and teaching my kids to love. I believe that we all want the same basic things in life, although we sometimes think the road to them is different. I love to read, be with my kids, my quiet evenings with the captain, who never tires of me talking his ear off. That I got blessed with such an amazing husband is nothing short of a gift from God. I am very blessed!

Remember that time she got that karaoke machine and she sang and sang that song? Seriously. She acted all irritated when we sang "My Peggy is american made..." But we both know that she loved it. Because she kept bringing it up at all her karaoke nights.
LOL. She and I had a (real) version that went something like this:
My Lenny is American made.
Born and bred in the USA!
From her short, choppy hair
To her fat, stubby legs,
My Lenny is American made!
Lol! A BFL perhaps? Cute. Happy birthday to Peggy.
Happy birthday to Peggy!
Aw, Happy Birthday, Peggy!
Happy birthday, Pegs! Lee and Mindo - love love love the BFLs today!!
So then after Mindi's email, had to hop on her blog. And then after reading hers, had to hop on yours. You two are always up to no good.
About half of this post is actually true. We actually always sang the oakridge boys. Except I never knew the names of any of the singers. Now I do. All our roommates and friends got so sick of having to listen to us sing oakridge boys, and recite commercials constantly. That was like 14 years ago. Gross I'm not that old. Except when we see each other, we still remember all the words perfectly to our nonsense songs and commercials. That's how rehearsed we were.
I'm pretty sure that's how we both succeeded so far in life.
Now, go send birthday wishes to Mindi. April 27th. She's 30.
Hey Peggy, Happy belated Birthday!!! I love the story Leanne :) Pegs, I sure do miss you.
Gretchen
