Rain + Hormones = Weepy mess.

Whew ... I am a weepy mess this morning.

Had an AWESOME Saturday. I went to work ... had the 1st of our "Second Saturday Series" for the Health Smart Behavior graduates ... was great to see people that had completed the 1st cohort ... hear how they have been since the class finished.

Then, I went up to G's house ... we drove to Fort Collins and met up with some friends, new and old. Had a nice lunch ... allowed myself to indulge in the midst of this diet (paying for it today with rockin' diarrhea ... too much information?) We went to a place in town that had swings at the bar, I wasn't drinking ... stone cold sober, Thriller came on the radio ... What's a girl to do?

Yep, I moved tables and made a dance floor so I could do the dance ... mid-afternoon on a rainy Saturday, everyone applauded. My mom commented when I told her later on the phone, "Wow, it must be hard being so shy!"

We ended up a little place in Johnstown called "The Corral" ... again, not drinking. I had coffee at 9pm. And ... lucky me ... it was Karaoke night. I did my go-to song, "Let's Hear It for The Boy" by Denise Williams, the Karaoke DJ, asked me to do a duet ... ha, we sang "Cruisin" the version from Huey Lewis (sp?) and Gweneth Paltrow (sp?). It was awesome. G and I sang some Abba ... and I got to do a reprise of Thriller for everyone in the bar ... complete with dance break. It was awesome.

So, here I am this morning, with a grateful heart for a fun Saturday ... it's raining ... listening to some sweet music and just feeling weepy ... missing friends, playing cards with Matthew, enjoying some coffee, feeling nostalgic ... damn hormones ... theraputic to just let tears fall sometimes. So much to be thankful for ... dancing and singing to Thriller twice in one day ... on the top of my list.

me too!!! I wish I could have been at one of those bars! The Corral? Really? J-town has a bar? Is that the little whole in the wall next to Ace Hardware?! How funny! I'm so envious of those who get to be around you! They are so blessed!
