Believe in Blue

I started doing laundry this morning with one mission -- my lucky Colts sweatshirt must be clean for the big game on Sunday. We're all a little Colts crazy right now. Even the dogs have outfits to cheer on our team.

Go Colts.

Pants on the Ground

Ok, I admit it. I've been watching the auditions for American Idol. Except when it becomes cruel, I am enjoying it.

Now a 62-year old civil rights activist had started a You Tube sensation. Larry Platt performed "Pants on the Ground" which includes my favorite lyric:

Looking like a fool with your pants on the ground.

Since I have never been a fan of the gansta' rap, in-the-'hood dress code, this has become my new favorite song. Football players were singing it in locker rooms last weekend. My mom and I have been singing it in the car.

I highly recommend you google "Pants on the Ground" and watch the You Tube video. You might have a new favorite song.

And So It Goes

I've been lapse in updating the blog because my new year did not start out as I had hoped. I wanted to give you all sorts of good news and positive, uplifting comments about moving forward.

Instead, I was dealt a few setbacks. And I felt sorry for myself a bit.

With all the tragedy and despair in the world -- Hmmm... Haiti perhaps? -- it is indulgent and ridiculous to get depressed over little things in life. Or is it? The little things that go wrong seem very big at the time. Guess that's just human nature.

I don't live in Haiti; I live in Indiana where I came in second (AGAIN!)for a job I really wanted. I negotiated and signed divorce papers yesterday for a marriage that is long over but with a heart that is still wounded.

My heart breaks for the devastation in Haiti and yet, it is uplifted by the miraculous stories of rescue and the humanitarian efforts. My heart is broken by some things in my life right now but I know tomorrow is another day and my spirit is resiliant.
