Finally Friday

It's Finally Friday Y'all and I am happy about it. Its been a good day and I'm tickeld about it. I'm even willing to overlook the dreary grey skies and 3/4 of an inch of rain that fell overnight and is still falling as we speak, and the cold temperatures that are going to come later.
The day started out wonderfully because I got to sleep in for an extra 45 minutes this morning. Then when I got to work my dear co worker and friend made breakfast for all of us. It was a scramble of eggs, sausage, (straight from his farm) onions, peppers and cheese and it was delicious. I keep asking him to marry me but I think his wife would woefully object. Then the boss brought in donuts to thank everyone for doing such a good job. (is it any wonder my ass is so big?) Then a good friend who I haven't talked to for a while called and chatted and we got to catch up for a bit. The kidlets are coming tonight and I don't have to work tomorrow. It might all go down the crapper in a minute but for now, I'm calling it a good start. What makes you happy on Friday?

Finally Friday by George Jones
I got a hundred dollars smokin' in my billfold
I know I oughta save it but it's burnin' a hole
Right through my pocket and into my skin
Come Monday morning I'll be broke again.
It's finally FridayI'm free again
I got my motor running for a wild weekend
It's finally FridayI'm outa' control
Forget the workin' bluesAnd let the good times roll.
I got a little sugar baby down the road
She's sittin' on a radio and rockin' on roll
We'll dance up a storm and later all night
We'll be workin' on doin' all the wrong things right.
It's finally FridayI'm free again
I got my motor running for a wild weekend
It's finally Friday I'm outa' control
Forget the workin' bluesAnd let the good times roll
Monday, I'll be hurtin with my head in a vice
Tuesday, I'll be wonderin' if I'll ever survive
Wednesday and Thursday, I'll be slowly tunin' in
Friday, I'll be revin' up my motor again.
It's finally FridayI'm free again
I got my motor running for a wild weekend
It's finally FridayI'm outa' controlForget the workin' blues
And let the good times roll.
It's finally FridayI got my motor running for a wild weekend
It's finally Friday Forget the workin' blues
And let the good times roll...

Will someone please tell Spring that we are tired of waiting?

Today is February 24th, 2009, year of our Lord, Amen. There are 24 days until the official first day of Spring, which is March 20th. It is supposed to be getting warmer, the grass is supposed to be getting greener. Robins are supposed to be migrating back north. I'm ready to plant flowers and sit on my porch swing with a big old glass of iced tea.

When I woke up this morning the temperature was a whopping 10 degrees. In addition to being c.o.l.d. I was not a happy camper! I'm tired of snow and cold.

So, if you happen to see Spring lurking around somewhere, would you tell him (or her, what ever the case may be) to hurry it up? The Ohioans need to thaw out.

Things that are on my desk

I readily admit that my desk and my office are a MESS. I have paper and folders everywhere and the floor needs swept. While I was looking at my organized (HA!) chaos this morning I realized that I have some strange, out of place things on my desk so I thought I would share them with you. If I knew how to upload photos, I would post a photo of it, but I don't, so I won't.

I have:
A Bob Marley "Survival" CD
Tax instructions
A Harlequin Secret Romance Book
Every Day with Rachel Ray magazine
A half full coffee cup
A packet of ketchup
A check
A bottle of lotion
A business card for a Mary Kay consultant
A toothbrush (wouldn't my dentist be proud?)
A golf ball
A sketch of my next tattoo
AND...a yard of red taffetta ribbon.

Is it any wonder that I never get anything done?

What is on your desk?

Friday the 13th

I'm a mildly superstitious person, but not in the normal sense. I believe in strange superstitions. I NEVER put shoes on a table and I NEVER rock an empty rocking chair. It's bad luck at a baseball team if you get up to go to the bathroom when your team is at bat. I don't know where I picked those up but I did.

In honor of Friday the 13th, I'm posting some Stevie Wonder Lyrics.

Hope you don't have any bad luck today, Watch out for black cats, don't walk under any ladders or break any mirrors. And throw some salt over your shoulder , just to be safe.

Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders bout to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.
When you believe in things that you dont understand,
Then you suffer,Superstition aint the way
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin strong,
You dont wanna save me, sad is my song.
When you believe in things that you dont understand,
Then you suffer,Superstition aint the way, yeh, yeh.
Very superstitious, nothin more to say,
Very superstitious, the devils on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
When you believe in things that you dont understand,T
hen you suffer,Superstition aint the way, no, no, no
