Good Monday

Today is Monday. It is a good Monday though.

Did you know that the great Lewis and Clark Expedition began on this day in 1804? Wow, I sure would have loved to be pushing my paddle in that boat!

In 1914 on this day, the Greyhound Bus Company begins in Minnesota. So from canoe to smoky stinky bus, 100 years to learn how to better pollute the earth in the name of convenience!

Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart got married on this date in 1945. And proceeded to have two children, Stephen and Leslie.

On this day in 1959, one of my favorites Gypsy opened at Broadway Theater in NYC for 702 audiences. Can't get a much more intertaining story line than a child star turned burlesque dancer and what a name - Gypsy Rose Lee!

I could keep going but I think I'm going to conclude today's post with a positive quote from the writer of All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. “Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.” Robert Fulghum

Sometimes simple is best. Good Monday to everyone and many many more!!!

Handy Horoscopes

Today's Virgo horoscope says: Starting too many projects at one time is disempowering because you never get to feel like you're winning at any of them.

Pretty funny.

Good Virgo

Here are two pictures a found that pretty well describe Virgo's on both ends of the spectrum!

                

 

Lost in La La Land

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I have such good intentions but the minute I get inside the house I’m paralyzed and can’t complete one thing. In the car I imagined myself organizing all the winter clothes into separate boxes, labeling them, and then stacking neatly in the closet.

Guess what? Our bedroom now looks like a tornado went through it. This is exactly why I try not to take on too much. But because I had this image in my head that I would organize those clothes, I did not even get the vacuuming done nor the dishes washed. I don’t know how to fix this brain malfunction.

I hate that the one thing my husband regards above all else is a neat home. With tasks that are accomplished daily. I’m just not capable of this. I am defective. My brain flittered about so much today that it made me nauseous.

I was doing wonderfully well until I took on the fabric of my life. Cotton! Time just isn’t on my side and neither is my scrambled up brain. Sometimes I wonder how I ever get anything done. How I ever stay positive and persevere through this muddle, I just don’t know.

I’m keeping busy reading and doing my crosswords. Still looking for my dog Roscoe. Always trying to promote our office and my husband’s construction business. I need some brain relief. Mines just too overworked right now.

For all the people who can multi task, I applaud you! I also curse you! It’s just not fair. Of course, if I know anything I know that life is NEVER fair.  I guess one day I may learn to do the next right thing and that’s it! Even if it is throwing my to-do list in the garbage.
