I love mornings which is going to sound weird, especially if you know me from my Delta days where we'd work till 3/4/5a.m. and then sleep all day...Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my night shifts, and if I didn't miss going to bed at night w/ my wife, my ass would be back on permanent night shifts in a heartbeat.
Maybe I should re-iterate, I love mornings on my days off when I'm sitting here w/ some amazing tunes playing and just enjoying my morning coffee. The sun's shining and it's already stinking hot outside but the a/c is nice and cold inside (Thank you Barb & Al, best present ever!)
Kari's working today and I'm set for a day of domestic duties and maybe some writing after JK Tours errands get ran this afternoon but right now is my time.
I was helping Kari get ready this morning and I happened to mention what the title of my blog was going to be and she said I should try to go into this w/ nothing pre-planned, i.e. I was going to write about how I notice I can be funny when I don't try but oh Lordy, the minute I try to tell a joke, it bombs horribly, to the point where some people have said, "don't ever do that again ;-)," maybe not to that extreme but I know that I've bombed a couple for sure.
The other thing I was going to write about is my love affair w/ the jeans and bra on a girl, I was rereading that "25 Things" that was a huge FB hit last winter and that was one of the things I wrote;
7. I honestly believe that just jeans and a bra is the sexiest outfit ever for a girl It's true, or at least for me, Ladies, sure, dresses, skirts, and bikini's are all hot & sexy, but want to get your guy's attention, haul on the Levis and a bra and just walk around like that for awhile and guaranteed your guy will love ya for it.
I was writing last night (2/3 yesterday, didn't get for a walk, it was a crazy day, Kari had a lot of work to do for the business and I was doing housework, the amount of dishes that we go through that can't go into our dishwasher amazes me, and then we both took a nap, and she had meetings last night so it didn't happen...) and it was so hot, I was just laying there in my boxer briefs and a t-shirt, (the a/c doesn't make it all the way down to the bedroom, the downside of having an apartment that's 1000 sq feet, but as my pen was flying across the page, I was thinking about my parents' house in Tabusintac, it's in the corner of a 4 acre field, kinda in the middle of nowhere and at night, the stars light up like an endless sea of fireflies, it's the best spot to see shooting stars and I was thinking about how it's my get away place. I day dream all the time about the days when I'll just be able to take my lap top and sit on the porch, look at the river, and "work" from there. It's definitely my happy place.
A quick story since I'm running out of coffee but I'm listening to Jay Z's Empire State of Mind and I remember how one day when I was having a blah day thinking about if I never make it as a writer and am resided to be a desk drone for the remainder of my days and not be able to live in New York, Boston, all the big cities.
I was thinking about New York and then I was reading a bunch of blog sites and the 1st entry was showing the Jay Z & Alicia Keys video for Empire State of Mind - I love Alicia Keys and watching the video, I saw all these places I've been and then she starts singing the chorus;
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can’t do,
Now you're in New York!!!
These streets will make you feel brand new,
the lights will inspire you,
Let's hear it for New York
So, I'm wondering, what are some of your pick me up songs and where are your get away places?
