Starting Your Day Right
Posted on 13 May 2009
You can have two types of mornings. A good morning or a bad morning.
A good morning involves strolling out onto a deck in Hawaii with a cappuccino in hand or waking up with the sun streaming down on your face as a gentle breeze wafts through your window while the birds serenade you.
A bad morning involves parking at the YMCA, grabbing your workout gear, locking the door to your car and hopping out quickly, only to realize that your car is rolling backwards towards a BMW. Not only if it is moving without you in it, its picking up speed at a frightening rate.
At this point in the bad morning, a complete awakening happens. All of the synapses are firing at once and words you wouldn’t want to repeat start flowing out of your mouth.
I threw down my workout gear and tried to open the car door to no avail. Somehow I noticed that the back door of the car was unlocked, so I thought about getting in the back and trying to stop the car from there. Luckily, I realized my lack of solid reasoning before committing to that plan.
I grabbed my purse and dug for my keys while chasing the car down. The car was moving very quickly at this point. I hucked my purse down, contents flying everywhere, and unlocked the car door. I was able to grab the e-brake and bring the car to a stop before my car had an unfortunate meeting with the BMW.
I stuck the keys in and quickly drove it back into the stall it rolled out of so the three cars queued up to park could go by. With shame and legs that could barely hold me upright, I meekly gathered the contents of my purse strewn about the YMCA parking lot.
Suddenly I was more awake than if I had drank 8 espressos in a row. It’s not a good way to start the morning, but it’s a sure fire way to wake up in a hurry!

Don’t you just love those moments that you will definitely laugh yourself silly about …. eventually…
hahaha Ed figures it would make sense to throw the purse under the tire!! Silly man, who in their right mind throws a Gucci bag under the tire!
I am just so out of my mind some days! The though to throw the newly acquired knock off Gucci under the tire didn’t even cross my mind. I suppose I will file that away for next time?
My favorite part is Jon’s response…did that happen this morning? You both are just darn funny. That is why I love you both.
