Monday Morn

And I'm up. The temp is already 80 degrees. Gotta jaunt to a doctor's appt by 8am this morning--and it dawned me I don't know which location it is. I can't find my paperwork and I erased the reminder message. Oh well, they're just about a half mile from each other.

I have a paper to tweak for school. This paper isn't like pulling so many teeth because it's over my work life. I can write about that. I so enjoy being a student again, yet this whole writing papers on stuff I can't really 'flower' up is the challenge. The challenge ranks up there with the discovery of what a mop can do for my kitchen floor....

Nonetheless, it Monday, I've been blessed with a new day for more adventure.

Need coffee and let's do this thing.

Monday

OK. Yesterday it was about 72 degrees. Sun. Nice. GORGEOUS!
Today. Monday. 10 degrees cooler. North wind. Cloudy. Rain maybe.
Nonetheless, got thru the work day, plus
Got my college assignment in on TIME today. Found out
I have a 92.5 average--even with the yucky team project we did.
So the weather folks said the rain may start after 7pm tonight--
Right now it's 5:11pm--so I'm gonna put on my new tennyshoes and do a walk--
Oh wait, I saw my tire has a 'knot' sticking up--maybe I oughta get a new tire first, huh? :)

And since it's Monday and Mondays don't make a whole lotta sense, how 'bout a song that doesn't make much sense either, cuz "Louie, Louie" is MORE fun than a Monday....:)

Marvelous

It's March!

Just days away from my fave season: SPRING!

And just 38 days from my birthday...and yes, do sound the trumpets!

Honestly, my Monday now slows down. Didn't get as much sleep as I wanted last night, due to eagerness to start the new job today. Rainstorm caused my power to go out about 4:30AM. I knew that because my alarm system beeps to tell me something is wrong. Yea, I wanted to shoot the alarm box...

Let me say, first day of new job was MARVELOUS! No joke. Trainers kept my attention all day. All of us felt good as we walked out. I'm now in the mortgage area and will work on Short Sales--one step above foreclosure. After all that, I turned in the last of my first week's school assignments tonight and await Week 2's lot.

Fed the cats. Fed the birds. Now I'm gonna feed me some Blue Bell Banana Nut Ice Cream. You gotta try this stuff because it's ..

YUMMY YUM YUM my day is done. :)

Monday...really?

Woke up this morning and wondered why I wasn't so refreshed--then I remembed stayed up for:

COWBOYS BEAT THE EAGLES 20-16!

Lovin' that! Where IS my coffee?

Then I also recalled how a relationship I thought on the mend may be not. I'd mentioned a person I was once close to, who'd dropped 60 pounds (congrats to him!) a few days ago. Over the weekend, we'd had contact for the first time in months. I'll be honest, it was all thru e-mails. I felt he would be OK to talk through voice, yet I wasn't. Anyway, break throughs were spoken of--Oprah woulda been proud. Even expectations to better the situation.

Well, then right before the Cowboys game, I evidently went a bit too far in the reasons for my breakthroughs. Erred in judgements of mention of past situations. Reasons why I thought things. We females discuss everything--most guys, not so much. Ahh, you would think I would learn.

So on this Monday, if our relationship was a Monopoly board game, the Less 60 Pounds Guy and I are back to Baltic Avenue---barely.

Oh well, if things are to mend, it's really not in my hands anyway. I give it all to the One that knows my heart.

Since that's done, I need to get outta here, get coffee to get thru the day and get that much closer to Dancing With the Stars!

Monday....Really?

Where did the weekend go? Wasn't it just HERE?

Oh well. Got another opportunity to make the day an adventure--74 ounces of water and all. Still expect miracles to happen and hope my cat doesn't eat my oatmeal! :0

So to get to the point

Let's just see about feelin' groovy...why not?

Again

We roll around to Monday....Oh my. Wasn't it just Friday?

Monday Me

Took the day off. Slept in. Had the whole neighborhood of cats circle me like fur covered wagon trains, on my bed. Did my errands. And found out I hadn't lost my touch.

As I drove, I munched on a Taco Bell Supreme Burrito. I didn't realize a big Ford pick up drove by until, as it passed, a young man rolled down the window and blew a kiss. I just smiled. I think the bite of the burrito is what made his and his buddies' day. I was behind them for a second, and all were turned to watch as I bit more into the burrito. I'm sure Taco Bell wasn't looking for such advertising.

Anyway, the day isn't over. Sun is still out. Gotta put the trash by the curb and Dancing With the Stars is on later. I hope Holly Madison is one of the two that goes tomorrow!

In the meantime.....got more to enjoy.

Finally

It's Friday.

You are SO happy. Work week c'est fini.

Your high school French teacher would be thrilled you remembered something from those decades ago.

Lotsa stuff on your mind. Good stuff.

Your birthday is right around the corner.

However, right now all you can think of is, you really don't need to go anywhere on Saturday.

You can stay in your cluttered house and do whatever you want--except, well, wash the dishes and mop the floor--you digress--what fun would those be?

Anyway, its Friday and you're happy.

Especially because you're off on Monday.

And instead of the 30 degrees, it is right this second,

Monday will be about 70.

However, it's still Friday. Still the weekend.

Still alot left to see.

All is good.

Grab a blanket for tonight.

Monday Marvel

My Cousin Sussers was to be released from the hospital today. Will call her tonight just to make she's following the doctor's orders.

Saw my first robin today. I smiled. I could hear my Daddy, up in Heaven, whisper in my ear, "See your first robin, Spring is not far behind." Heard him tell me that so many years. I miss my Daddy. And I can hear him say, "You big baby." And I would respond with, "Yes I am. I'm your baby. No matter how old I get." Then Daddy would chew on his King Edward cigar.

The marvel of cleaning out litter boxes and to put trash by the curb. It's such a chore. And the one time, I really wish a man was here full time to do the trash thing. Then my mind wanders to after I had my mitral valve replacement surgery and my first full shower after. I ran out of breath just as I dried myself. I had to sit down. I about collapsed getting to the chair.

Panic. Would I always need to stop and catch my breath? For anything--even as simple as drying off?

When I mutter about the trash I should remember how it was in 2006, and how it is now.

I'll take now. Quite the Monday Marvel.

I am blessed.

Monday Madness

You head out the door to your Pumpkin to drive to work. You really didn't want to go anyway, because you've been pretty much awake since 3:45 that morning. Due to having to make a potty run, and not quite falling back asleep. You ease closer to your Pumpkin and you see it. A flat. You call your boss to inform her you'll be at Shawshank as soon as you get someone to change it. You're usually a strong Chaka Khan I'm every kinda woman, however mechanics, of any kind, are your not your thing. This morning, you are a damsel in distress. You're just glad you're distressing in your drive way. Anyway, the second you hang up with your boss, the lights flicker and off goes your electricity. This is 7:45 am. You're afraid you missed the electric bill disconnect bill, when you're usually so good about. :) You realize your Pumpkin still has some warranty, so you call Road Side Assistance. You're told it would be 40 minutes. They lied. The guy didn't show until about 9:30ish--due to being with the last customer. He wasn't bad looking, so you overlook it. After her fixes your tire, he tells you three times however if you have any trouble, just give him a call. Maybe the guy was being nice. You get to work after a stop at 7-11 for a white cupcake cappuccino--you're kinda ticked because the pumpkin latte was replaced with french vanilla. So you get to work by 10:45. You know you should stay to make up time. You leave at your usual 4:30. Oh well. There's trash to put by the curb, salad to eat, cats to pet, Young and the Restless to watch because Lilly now knows Billy is Chloe's baby Daddy, and poor forgetful Mrs. C has been kidnapped, Jill thinks the DNA results she's told are true, and.....well, there's just things you need to do.

Cue up Chaka Khan.

Next Food Network Star and Monday...

OK--so all three finialists, Lisa, Adam and my man Aaron are headed for the final challenge. I do agree with the judges--they all bring something to the table. And the three-way final seems like the only fair way to decide.

I like Lisa, yet she doesn't seem that approachable. Adam is cute and likabe, yet is it too much too late? And Aaron--he looked good in his 30 second promo. However the whole camera thing IS what the Food Network is all about....We'll find out next week.

Now, is it Monday allready? UGH. Well, one more day closer to Friday! :)

Monday...

Yes. Rejoice in the day the Lord has made. With Grace I awoke this morning.

However, it is still Monday.

All this is temporary.

Really need to write and pray for guidance on the public speaking. I feel God taps His foot while He gazes at me, asking, "What more do you think I need to show you, when I've showed you enough?"

Rejoice.

Monday Morning...

Rejoice in the day the Lord has made.

Showered. Fed cats. Cleaned boxes. Sweat all ready because it's 80 degrees and it's not even 8am yet.

Time to head to work so I can pay for the water for my morning shower, for the cat food since my felines are picky on what they eat, for the litter because my felines are picky what they use and pay for the electricity that my air conditioner uses so I can cool from the sweat.

Is it Friday yet?
