Monday, Monday!

I hope that the day is Great! I hope that I feel this spunky all day! My day didn't start just as I wanted. I had aspirations of waking up and working out. Ummm, no. I slept a little too late for that, but rather than rush I made and ate a good-for-me breakfast and started the iPod and it was tossing out good tunes right and left. A little Fergalicious will get any one's Monday going! Add to that texts messages from two of my absolute favorite people and a pot of good coffee, and it all kind of takes away form my frizzy hair on a humid as hell day and my self image dissatisfaction (note to self: working out this evening!)
Just bought a new CD on iTunes, I really need to quit that. I need to purchase the actual CD, but what to do with all of the plastic cases and liner notes??.... anyway...Ryan Bingham, you make me VERY happy! Ryan, I will be even happier when you play in town on October 30!! Although you are playing at my very least favorite concert venue, I'll handle it. Speaking of good tunes, two of my good friends are playing at a tiny bar this week. I love to listen to both of them play. Hopefully, someday, I can say "I knew them when".
Felt flu-ish over the weekend, but that allowed me to lay in a dark living room and catch up on DVR. I tried computing but reading a screen and a raging headache was a bad combo. Back to the stored shows on the DVR...I'm all caught up and here's what I found:
  • Cougar Town--HILARIOUS!!
  • Modern Family--NOT a MUST WATCH show
  • the forgotten--GOOD stuff, I really liked this show. Way to go Christian Slater
  • Flash Forward--midway through the first episode, I was thinking "no way". Now that I have watched both episodes, I'm hooked. I'm in. I need to make sure that this is set to record series.
The new washer and dryer work great! I so do not like making grown up purchases, but I do love my new Whirlpool W/D! The washer washes and spins all of the water out. I don't have to keep re-spinning like on the machine that was left by my landlord. The new dryer...it drys! It turns on. Unlike the one that was left behind by the landlord. If not for the semi-functional set left by the land lord I would have had to make this purchase, take this leap, three months ago. I am thankful that I'm not on a creek bank slapping my pants up against a rock and rubbing my drawers and my knuckles on a washboard!

Dissertation calls! Need to put all of this positive energy towards that dreaded paper!

'80s Ladies

I apologize for my absence, but we'll cover that later. On a recent road trip (day trip), for work, I made a little list in my head, let's see if I can recall the jist of it all. I worked up a list of things that we should all have in our memory books, and on my list, thanks to my iPod, I have the '80s ladies. No, not the great friends from the dorm and I that re-worked the K.T. Oslin's hit from the '80s. That is definitely another story for another time. As I was cruising across the Lone Star State in my Gold Lincoln Town Car on Friday of last week, I spent a lot of time being thankful that it was a solo mission---I did a lot of singing and dancing in that car that day. Some of the favorite stops made by my iPod were on the Ladies of the 80s. Let me just share with you right now that my musical stylings were utterly amazing and a force to be reckoned with, not to mention the moves that accompanied them. Tell me, who doesn't know their way through ...

BLESSINGS

(From somewhere on Pinterest). I found the above "poster" on Pinterest awhile back.  This morning, I don't know if it was the cool morning or the prospect of a good weekend that put pep in my step and a fullness, yet lightness, in my heart, but as the dog licked my had I realized that I have more than plenty to be thankful for, to be grateful for, to treasure.  I am blessed. Not only do I have food in my fridge, clothes on my back, and a warm bed to sleep in at night...my cup over flows with family and friends (although not near) and experiences that I wouldn't trade.  I may never see the castles in Ireland, but I've seen... the St. Louis Arch (even went to the top in the tiny elevator) the Golden Gate bridge (been across it in a 15 passenger rental van, can you say that??) the "Faces" a.k.a. Mt. Rushmore the Alamo both the Atlantic and the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico (and the North Platte River, but who's counting?)...I've dippe...

Have a Blessed Wednesday

  It's Wednesday! I've been working on left overs from my busy weekend in the kitchen.  Mom sent pics from home yesterday, and I just love this little guy!  Hoping to try a new stuffed portabella 'shroom recipe, maybe this evening.
