Bad radio day

Do you ever have a day when you turn on your car radio and nothing there works for you? The song lyrics bring you down, you try some jazz but it still doesn't work. I don't have a CD in my car, just tape (and no idea what is on most of the tapes, which are really from my wife when she drove this car). This is mostly because the car is nine years old (pushing 100K miles). It's a Suburu, but I won't praise it because then it will break down tomorrow. Sometimes I use an MP3 player -- but sometimes I put the wrong songs on that, too. It is a beautiful day today -- as I write this I'm sitting at a table outside the cafeteria in the sunshine. But it's an out-of-sync day for me. I was running really late so I told my wife I didn't have time to make a sandwich so I'd get something from the cafeteria (despite a recent frugality campaign). Even though half asleep, she runs downstairs as I'm getting dressed and makes a lunchbag, which I carry almost to the door before forgetting. Another example of why I just suck. I want to hit rewind on today. Or undo. Or something.

only because i am a "half glass full" kind of girl... 1. i hear crap on the radio all the time, and then, i realized, sometimes, i like to just hear SILENCE....and i use that time in my car to sort my head out, most of the time. 2. hey! it's a BEAUTIFUL DAY outside, and you're sitting outside in it! how long has it been since you have had THAT kind of weather that you can actually sit outside and enjoy that crisp spring air....take a deep breath and say it with me, "this day DOES NOT SUCK!". 3. your wife made you lunch? wow...that is love! stop on your way home and buy her a couple of gerber daisies and then share the sandwich a la picnic style on your front porch when you get home. 4. shoot people like me who are so damn happy sometimes that it's just sickening. 5. laugh at me now... 6. it's not that bad, after all...is it? ;-) :grin:

Classical music or anythin opera. Roll up the windows, turn it up, and make up lyrics. It's the only thing that works, Bubba. :blank:
