Everybody’s working for the weekend
Friday has arrived and if I wouldn’t look absolutely ridiculous, I’d seriously consider pulling on a bandana and some red leather pants ala Loverboy, especially if it would speed up the work day. Strangely, I have no Loverboy songs. Hmm, I may have to remedy that.

I’ve been treading water at work all week, just marking the time until I get to go home and live the good stuff. It’s good that nothing is particularly upsetting, but I think I’m going through one of those moments when the routine seems a bit dull. I’m sure to be busy this afternoon, though. The team will be finishing at many letters as they can before the week is through. Insert Bronx cheer here.

My morning radio station is playing a goofy game involving one of the DJs “singing” a song from a famous musical. If you can guess the musical, you’ll win tickets to a show I’m not interested in attending. This morning, the song selection was Edelweiss from The Sound of Music, on of my all time favorites. As a consequence, I’ve had various selections from the show floating into my mind all day. I’m amazed at my own ability to twist lyrics to fit the letter I’m reading at the time including the especially amusing and unintentionally dirty Climb Every Contractor.

Every time I wear my Jenny Crusie Cherry shirt (the one that says Got Snark on the back) to work, I’m bewildered by the number of people that have no idea what the word snark means. Clearly these people do not run in my circle of friends.

What’s up for the weekend? Kathy and I are helping Janelle paint the two bedrooms in her townhouse. That’s real friendship for you; we’re getting up BEFORE 9:00 on a Saturday morning to go work. Seriously though, I’m happy to help. Janelley has helped me more times than I can count. Saturday night I’ll be seeing 300. Gerard Butler is yummy, AND he won’t be singing which is a bonus. ;-)

Guilty confession - in addition to liking Loverboy songs, I’m feeling the urge to see Blades of Glory. I know! I just can’t help it.
