Truly Random Thoughts

As I sit here at my desk on a rainy pre- Fourth of July morning, many thoughts are swirling through my head. They run the gamut from practical to the truly bizarre; but hey, I have always been an eclectic thinker! Some of these random thoughts:

• updating my palm pilot calendar for July
• notes to self to buy jr. high student new school uniforms prior to the store rush
• mental grocery list for holiday soggy cook outs
• the remarkable ability of Journey's new lead singer from the Phillipines to sound exactly, and I mean EXACTLY like Steve Perry- so uncanny, because when he speaks (vs. sings) he really sounds like he has a French accent
• the further remarkable ability to be transported back to my college years through listening to Journey's Greatest Hits on my IPod- more on this later!
• the legalization of gay marriage
• researching a disorder to help a friend who was recently diagnosed
• where to go for lunch
• thoughts about postings read on a Runescape Addiction site
• whether "Hancock" will be better than the ratings portrayal
  

(Told you they were eclectic and totally random!)

I am truly bummed that the extended weather forecast is calling for rain. We have a lot of holiday plans for the next couple of days that also include two family birthdays. I was looking forward to this holiday more than ever because I was asked to be part of the Mercy Health Plex Float in the Anderson Township parade. I have been an avid spinner for years and a long-time member of the Plex, and will be on a spinning bike wearing the Team Plex Americana Jersey. (Watch out Lance Armstrong!!) I actually participated in a Live Strong Ride sponsored by the Lance Armstrong Foundation last spring. It was a lot of fun and we raised a good amount of money for the foundation. So if you don't mind getting wet, come out to Anderson and watch the parade on the 4th starting at 11:00 a.m. down Beechmont Avenue.

Ok, the above list is weighing on my mind now. I had better make my list and hit Krogers before it's packed. And btw, I received a lovely voicemail from them this morning warning me about possible E Coli contamination in the ground beef I might be harboring in my freezer. Good thing I have been using Laura's Lean Ground beef for years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More on my fascination with Journey in a later post.........................

CYA- as in See Ya, not Cover Your Ass!
