Simple Silly

I spend a lot of time driving for work, and in the last year have tuned my car-radio almost completely to NPR or other talk-radio. I love listening to "my programs," and if I'm ever accompanied on a car ride by someone who doesn't place the same importance on hearing all of the commentary on most of the stories (husband), I've been known to cut them off or ignore them completely. Even though I may only catch bits of news and information, I still think it's a somewhat "productive" way to spend my car time.

Today, my cautious little ford escort got a little crazy. I was grumpy (it's Monday, after all), and while I was driving I decided to flip back to popular radio AND, get this: roll my window down (!) Cue the "bum-bum-beedum-bum-bum-beedum-dum" song and wind blowing through my hair...well, at least my car. I was surprised by how fun this was; it reminded me of feelings I had driving home from high school, and it was hard not to smile (and/or laugh at myself)!

Attempt to sing the words of a song that you don't really know and rock the most advanced driver-seat moves you've got and you have a plan to shake the Monday Morning Blues...(until they play a downer song or go to a commercial break).

Bonus points if you can get another driver to join you!
