Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose

I have a new appreciation for men. I have no idea how they put up with women.

I have some catching up to do.

I did very little on Friday. People were either busy or not home. I ended up staying home and watching TV. Saturday, I spent the day cleaning because my sister and her roommate were coming into the city for overnight. They went to a matinee of Les Miserables. I was supposed to meet them for supper. Well I met them for supper but never had supper with them. The restaurant we were supposed to met at was too busy so we decide to go to another one. The food was taking so long at the other one I had to cancel my order. I had to open the church for the youth group I am a leader for. I quickly went through A&W drive-thru and barely made it in time.

I called the city school division today concerning when I can begin subbing. The person was gone for the day already (I called before 3). I was told by a secretary that she is incredibly busy and does not know when she will get to processing my paper work. Ugh.

I caught up with my friend Twila on the phone today. We have lived in the same city since August and we still have not seen each other. We were speculating since a friend let slip that someone I know is pregnant but she couldn't tell me who. Twi and I were trying to figure out who it could be. I'm a little stumped since I already have 6 pregnant friends. That doesn't leave too many people it could be.
I also found out my friend's younger sister is engaged. For that I am including a song my friend Sharon wrote on the occasion of my sister's engagement. It needs to be revisted...


"Everyone's Engaged"

So it seems, to me, that everyone has a ring (this is a ballad)
It's all so sudden and crazy, that's why I must sing

Of these people who are deluded
There life seems so concluded

But don't worry, because I'm not bitter! (this is where the song really takes off in pitch)

Chorus:
I'm not bitter about being alone
I won't grumble and moan

about being single and hot
the world's my meat pot

I'll get through without them
There so like Barbie and Ken

Everyone's engaged

Second verse
So what if they're happy
There lives will soon be crappy

When they wake up beside the person they thought they knew
Who's turned into a fat mess of goo

They've let themselves go
They run a freak show

Yet I'll still be there, thin and oh so beautiful
No I am not bitter

Chorus:

Refrain:
Quit touching each other and looking with googly eyes
Quit making plans and laughing at me as though I'm the ridiculous one (the tempo has obviously picked up)

Quit saying you'll find someone it only takes one day
Because maybe I'm just happy with myself and don't feel the need to have somebody else validate my life just because you do, and just because you think your partner is so great, doesn't mean I'm not going to find someone ten times better who has killer abs and broad shoulders, who makes me dinner and actually does ironing and finds time to write me little notes about how great I AM and so....

Chorus:
Last bit:
No i'm not bitter, not bitter.....at......aaaaaaaalllllllllll.
