Happy Monday.....

yes, I mean it.....Happy Monday...

Oh what a glorious morning!!!!!!!! The best thing about it is that it's NOT FRIDAY!

The day awaits me. The sun is shining, the ocean is my front yard, a sparkling pool is my backyard and I have a very good internet connection. If the only Starbuck's in the Outer Banks weren't 15 miles away, I'd be deleriously happy. But, I did find a way around that. Creative girl that I am! I stocked up on my beloved Bolthouse Perfectly Protein Vanilla Chai Latte and I coerced a local barrista who once worked at Starbuck's to tell me what I could purchase over the counter to mimic Starbuck energy shots. It seems to be doing the trick. I mean, it's not exactly the same. I don't have a smiling guy or gal wearing a green hat and apron mixing it for me and I'm not paying $6 a pop for it. But, it's feeding my quasi-addiction and upping my protein intake at the same time. So, it all evens out. Which is a good thing.
In my vacation state of mind, it makes me realize that there's always a way to get what you need or want as well as make things just a little bit better. Which makes me take another look at all the other MONDAYS of the year when I'm cranky and moaning about how short the weekends are. Maybe there's another way to take on Mondays. Perhaps it's all a matter of mixing Mondays up with a few new ingredients, asking for a little bit of help to do it and see the good things about a day that I never feel too good about.
Alright, alright....maybe I have sun stroke. Or maybe all that wine and gin is killing my brain cells. Or, perhaps all the chemicals in my Ocean Potion is making me woozy.....
But, really.....are Mondays really that bad?

From where I am sitting......Friday looks bad.
It's all a state of mind. I know it is.


Time to whip up my vacation morning addiction.................
