go forth to the dances of the merrymakers...

So what is it with the long titles?! Sheesh! When you wake up with catchy tunes from My Fair Lady swimming around in your noggin, you know it's going to be a happy day! Do you ever say really dumb stuff when you really don't need to say anything at all? Or maybe a simple 'good morning' would suffice, but you end up blurting out your whole life story. I have a problem in this area. Too much. Too soon. So, I'm feeling a little nervous about meeting all those new people next week. Normally, if people think you're a weirdo, they just walk away, but what happens when you're tethered together with people in the workplace and they can't leave? Or even worse, what if they are the weirdo! Wait. I retract that last statement. I don't think I'll have a problem with that. Unless they're like scary strange, that's different. I have so much to do today. I don't know what I'm doing sitting around here talking to myself. Am I the only one who has controversial, introspective, reasonings that beg to be delivered up to the public every morning? I don't just think thoughts, they pour out of me like so much helium squealing out of a party balloon, leaving me all deflated and rumpled up on the floor. Get up you flimsy little fribble and frolic for goodness sake! Think lofty thoughts, get some fresh air, and hold your breath as long as you can, then you can dance until dawn with the merrymakers. Speaking of making merry, Emmeli has found a new station on Pandora. She listens to it non-stop, and she has infected us all with her merriment. There's one particular song, which I think is Alvin and the chipmunks singing Old Macdonald in Spanish, very catchy. Honestly, you can not worry about anything when you hear this stuff. She's been uping (now there's a word you won't find in the dictionary; fribble by the way is in the dictionary, if you use the right dictionary) all the classic, vintage Disney scores and really has created something special. People are no longer asking her to turn it off, which is interesting. Every once in a while it brings up a song from movies like Fiddler on the Roof or My Fair Lady, which is why I now have those songs stuck in my head. Okay, we've come full circle now and we're back to happy little ditties. This is where I get off.

Ps. The soundtrack from "The Artist" is lovely for happy mornings. It was introduced to Em by another of her beloved stations- the "Ratatouille" station.
