Life's Soundtrack

One of Miss Ginger's regular readers (hi, D!) blogged "The trouble with life is that it doesn't have a soundtrack."  Au contraire, mon ami!  You just haven't found yours yet!  Miss G's soundtrack plays constantly in her head,  like an extended mix by one of the worlds top DJ's!  It's maintains a really consistent beat (BOMP! b-domp bomp, BOMP! b-domp bomp, etc.) and then mixes in whatever is ambient in Miss G's brain at the moment!  Of course it's always with her in the car (thank you, Sirius  36 "the Beat!"), but even everywhere she walks, shops, or just relaxes!

Here's a funny story that didn't start funny.  In a 6:55am stupor the other day, Miss G forgot her laptop in the security bin at the airport in Houston.  Didn't realize till she got to Tulsa.  Ensuing grief and drama.  Good news is,  she was able to retrieve it the next day.  The funny part is that the office building where the TSA office is located has elevators that are mirrored on all 4 sides.  You know what happens when you stand in a mirrored box.  The reflection from one mirror reflects in the opposite mirror,  and even though you are all alone you look like a prefectly synchronized chorus line!  Miss G couldn't help but smile,  and her soundtrack mixed in the old Pet Shop Boys song "Go West", so of course she had to do the routine!

 Luckily, she was able to stop herself before the door opened,  but she walked off the elevator with this huge "I just did something silly" smile that would have freaked people out if anyone had been there.

My life is one big showtune.  Recently I keep singing "Rose's Turn"...you know being on the verge of a nervous breakdown. (just kidding...sort of)
