Saying yes...

HALP!!!

What's your guaranteed, go-to, mood-lifter song?? I have mine, but so far, they're not working. As a matter of fact, they're having the opposite effect. 

I woke up this morning, feeling the need to get some endorphins going asap, but life got in the way. I now need pick-me-up, before going into the dreadful afternoon. You know I don't like those, no matter how beautiful they are... I need musical intervention... stat.

Any suggestions?

I'm guessing around 5, I'll even be willing to give Rush a try...

2008 can't end soon enough

This was our weather forecast for today:

Midwest Braces For Possible Floods

Unfortunately, today they were accurate. We returned home from holiday travel to find our basement had once again flooded... WTF???

We're now getting estimates on dealing with the soaked, 2 month-old carpet, which replaced the previous flood-damaged 4 month-old carpet.

The back yard is once again under water due to the fact that our 20+ inches of snow melted in less than a day. Did I mention the ground was still frozen so there was nowhere for all of the water to go? Did I mention the thunderstorm that dumped another 2 inches of rain?

On a good note, when driving back from a pleasant trip I should have stayed on, we came upon a 2x3 ft pothole. It wasn't even a pothole really, it was a large, missing chunk of road. Grizzled managed to swerve just enough to not completely bottom out in it. We also weren't going as fast as we would have been had we not had to slow down for the 15+ cars on the side of the toll road with flats and broken rims...

Hope everyone is enjoying or enjoyed the holidays.
