A No Good Very Bad Day

Today’s weather is less than desirable which is an exact indicator of how my day has turned out. All of the above occurances has left me dreaming, very fondly, of a beach and an umbrella drink. And maybe a book. To read while I get a beach front massage. Is that too much to ask!?

A flight south doesn’t seem to be scheduled into my calendar this week, so I guess I’ll have look for a plan B. Should your mood to be equally affected by this unfabulous weather and/or a less than stellar day, join me in a few of my favorites that are making my day just a little bit brighter.

• Grooveshark.com. There are days when Pandora doesn’t even make the cut, even if its Journey radio and I have strong desire to listen to any song I want, one fantastic tune after another. You with me? Today is one of those days. I’ve been everywhere from Flo-Rida to Meatloaf, dabbled in Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and rounding back to Chris Brown. You can’t go wrong envisioning Michael Scott dancing down the aisle to Forever, can you? I can even save the playlist and come back to it tomorrow. Beautiful. Disclaimer: you may have the urge to sing in your office or cube and that’s okay; I catch myself doing it on a regular basis.
• The weird news section of MSNBC.com. Lately the news has been either depressing or repetitive. Oh wait, maybe that’s always. The most important thing I learned from watching everyone’s favorite morning show, Fox & Friends was that Obama has picked the word “compassionate” for his new campaign and that William and Kate are still getting married next week – shocking. For a little break from the monotony, I thoroughly enjoy going to the strange and weird news section on MSNBC. Today’s stories include a dancing Romanian politician and a story about a two German rival circus families ending a dispute in gunfire. Check it out and share a laugh.
• YouTube. But I'm sure that goes without saying. Here are some old standbys for your viewing pleasure.
