Rainy Days Monday

So, I head out of Zimbabwee early, 6:15 am, to get an early start to work, (something told me not to dawdle in my man’s arms this morning). Glad I listened to my inner voice, it’s raining here in Zimbabwee and my loving man, wishes me a safe drive to work, I can only imagine that I’d still be stuck in traffic on 59 as I type this out.

An 18 wheeler lost it’s load of lumber and traffic was backed up from I-10 to 610 on 59, possibly even a bit further back. I’ve gotten use to the bottle-neck at 610 and 59 that I didn’t pay much attention to that part of my drive. I did pay enough attention to the signs stating that “All left lanes closed due to major accident at I-10”. I just never imagined that I’d be three hours in traffic. No big deal at the time, I thought…. “NOT”!

I was late to work by an hour and 15 minutes. So… what did I do, while sitting in traffic, well, let me see… I probably bored my loving man with about three text messages, did my make-up (Yes, I did my make-up in the car people, I was at a freakin’ standstill!!! I couldn’t find a decent thing on the radio, so I fiddled around from station to station, KHMX MIX 96.5, Country Classics KTHT 97.1, KRBE 104.1 (a waste of my time as Atom Smasher and Maria Todd were fired and the hysterics are gone), KSBJ 89.3, 93.Q Country, KODA Sunny 99.1. Not a single thing that was worth listening to. So, I called up my best friend, chatted with her for about 20 minutes or so… ate my breakfast; Yogurt, String Cheese, a few grapes and of course my coffee (yea, different huh?).

Aside from that, I sat there in traffic for three hours total, listening to the inner voices, contemplating life, reminiscing on my week-end with my favorite man and the kids... yadda, yadda, yadda…. Those inner voices came close to sounding like the Charlie Brown cartoons with the teacher and parents talking loud in my mind - WAUGH, WAUGH-WAUGH, WAUGH, WAUGH….



So, now it’s work time, I have to agree with PC, what I would give to be at home on a “Rainy Day Monday”…

Rainy Days And Mondays Lyrics
Artist(Band):Carpenters

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

This is definitely couch weather, snuggle up on the couch with a good "CLASSIC" movie!!! Any movie suggestions for my evening???
