I heard the song; I’m Alright this morning, from Jo Dee Messina. I haven’t heard that song in forever. Love it. It’s been a day of blasting Pandora. All of the managers are in an all-day meeting today. Everyone is so relaxed about here. It’s cool to see (not that they aren’t normally, but everyone just seems to be in a better mood). I have the door to my office shut, so that I can blast my music, but also because they are cleaning some equipment out in the shop. So,
it’s a mixture of the smell of manure (we are in the Midwest…and burning). Not a great smell. I’ve been keeping myself busy with work today, but this is when I really want to yell out, Can Johnny come out to play? You know how that is, when your mind is on everything but work? I feel okay about my attitude today, as I got a great quote this morning, that’s going to save us a lot of money. I feel like the rest of my day is justified. Makes sense, right :) Really, I’d love to be playing f/m/k right now, or playing Words, or exchanging emails to help the day go by faster, but my usual suspects for such things are all crazy busy today with work. Isn’t this grown up thing totally overrated? Come on, let’s play!
Yesterday turned out to be a great day. I really did well on my diet, and I even got in some exercise (it’s been added to yesterday’s blog). I went on a wonderful walk. The weather was just perfect. I wish there were better places to walk in town, but I’ll take the good weather any day of the week. When I walked back in the door after the walk, my phone was ringing, “My humps, my humps, my humps,” and every time I hear that ring, I am immediately happy.
It’s my friend Kathy’s ringtone. She still has a copy of the lyrics from when that song first came out, and she had to show them to me. She really isn’t a fan of a lot of pop music, but for some reason she loved that song. And in time, I went from thinking it was the worst song of all time, to loving it just as much. Anyway, it was a great conversation, and at one point, I might have laughed harder than I’ve ever laughed in my life. Come to think of is, it’s a shock I didn’t piss myself. We were discussing getting laser hair removal in inappropriate spots, and thought maybe we should move the forum to our Facebook walls, and maybe put it to vote. Good stuff right there.
Today has not been stellar, as far as my diet goes. Brian and I had to leave early this morning to drop off my Loser Cruiser to get worked on (Brian fell asleep early last night, so we couldn’t do it then). And being the terrible morning person I am, I didn’t plan well enough and didn’t make my smoothie. Once I f up breakfast, it usually leads to more poor decisions. That, and I’m p.m.s’ing like a mofo. But, my mood is good. In spite of what I’ve eaten today, I know it’s better than it’s been the past month and a half.
So, I’ve decided that I really need to plan to go on vacation. I mean, the family
needs to plan, haha. I know I just saw friends a couple of months ago, but it was so whirlwind, I need that good girl time. I’ve got to start thinking of what we are going to do. I’m hoping we can somehow afford to go to WRG for the 4th. It would be especially awesome for the boys and Brian. They weren’t there a couple of years ago, when I went home for the reunion. They love it up
there. Or, I’d love to get over to Spokane and see my sisters (including my sister/friend Kathy). How about some of you come out here? Chicago is very pretty in the summer. I can take you to a Cubs game J I’m already trying
to bribe Amy with that one. Oh hell, maybe we don’t need a vacation, maybe we just need to move. Ugh. Gotta quit thinking like a grown up. Sure wish I liked it out here….
Hope this day is finding you all well. I’ve been thinking about many of you
today, wondering if you’re enjoying being a Lawyer today, or if some of you are
overwhelmed by all that being a stay at home mom entails. I’m alright J Miss
you.

Lyrics to I’m
Alright:
Well it's been a long time glad to see your face
I knew we'd meet again another time another place
Can't believe it's been so many years
You'd better grab a chair and a couple of beers
Lookin' good in your three piece suit
You know, I always knew you'd take the business route
You were always the one to follow the light and you look like you're doing
alright
Been singin' for my rent and singin' for my supper
I'm above the below and below the upper
I'm stuck in the middle where money gets tight
But I guess I'm doin' alright
I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright
It's a beautiful day not a cloud in sight so I guess I'm doin' alright o -
oh, o - oh, I'm alright
Got a good old friend here with me tonight and I guess I'm doin' alright
Well we had a lot of dreams when we were younger
They thought we were crazy but we had the hunger
We kept a lot of friends, skipped a lot of class
Been on top of the world and knocked on our ass
We lost touch, we lost in love
We lost our minds when things got tough, but
Beatin' time is a losin' fight and I guess I'm doin' alright
I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright
It's a beautiful day not a cloud in sight
so I guess I'm doin' alright
o - oh, o - oh, I'm alright
Got a good old friend here with me tonight and I guess I'm doin' alright
Well I guess I'm doin' alright
Well I hate to see this evening end
God only knows when
I'll see you again
Just send a fax or send me a letter or give me a call that would even be better
Give the kids a kiss for me and say hello to the family
And tell them all my future's lookin' bright
Well, I miss 'em but I'm doin' alright
I said I miss 'em but I'm doin' alright
I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright
It's a beautiful day not a cloud in sight so I guess I'm
doin' alright
o - oh, o - oh, I'm alright
Got a good old friend here with
me tonight and I guess I'm doin' alright
Well I guess I'm doin' alright
I'm doin' alright
