hahaha – great story! :)
i am laughing
oh, this exact same thing happened to me when i was a little girl! (and i’ll be the first to tell you: my voice is… not great) i refused to even sing with the radio when my husband and i were dating. now that we’re married, i don’t care anymore, and i sing as loud as my little voice can go! :) (not with anyone else in the car, though. that would be traumatic — for everyone involved)
haha! I NEVER sing by myself around other people. I’m so self-conscious…
Hmmm…. why doesn’t my blogger profile pic show up when I leave a comment? I am logged in.
awesomeness. Yay for memory lane :)
That is a cute memory… but I say sing on! Of course I am the type who has to at least hum when music is on. Can’t keep quiet. Sometimes you just gotta sing!
i am so. afraid. to sing out loud because i’m scared silly that someone will laugh at me. oh well, doesn’t stop me from belting it out under my breath or in the shower with the door closed and locked. yeah… :)

So funny! Sometimes I get to singing in the car and then I remember that other drivers can actually see me. Ha!
We just got my 4 year old’s ipod shuffle loaded with her favorite music tonight and she was yelling at us because she had her headphones on and didn’t realize how loud she was talking. :D
