Today is one of my favorite days. Art day. It is just a day of meeting with friends at Hobby Lobby and painting and relaxing and just not thinking about anything but painting the latest picture. It is just a great day, finished off each Wednesday night with us going to El Fenix to meet friends for Mexican food. Tonight we are taking Sevy, our 5 yr old grandson with us. I love showing him off. He is just Mr. Personality and a cheap date, He doesn’t eat anything but chips, so Randy loves that part. I have to brag on something. Yesterday, I was feeling a little hum……should I say “old” after going shopping with Jodi and seeing her try on cute little spaghetti strap sun dresses, knowing that those days were totally over for me. So I get home and decide to pep myself up by making pralines. While doing so, I am watching “King of Queens”. Carrie walks in to find Doug on the couch and he is playing out a beat on his belly with his hands and asks Carrie to guess what “song” he is giving the beat for. She replys, “Doug, you are keeping rhythm on your belly and I will not even try to guess what song you are “playing” when all of a sudden I yelled out loud, “I Love Rock n Roll” and then Doug yells out, “Carrie, can’t you tell I am “playing “I Love Rock n Roll?” I couldn’t believe my ears, I had guessed his belly music. I was just so proud of myself for actually remembering that song and then correctly guessing what it…ah, life felt so good again. Maybe I wasn’t as old as I was thinking. After all, I had carried around about 30 pounds (car seat and Caleb) that morning, getting it in and out of the car and then coming home, cleaning house and making pralines before making dinner. I need to do that more often, just attempt to look for the moments of “fun” and not take life so serious. I have to go, I want to practice “playing, “Mama Mia” on my belly for Randy!
