Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

This is such a guilty pleasure song, though I hate to use the term "guilty pleasure" when it comes to music. If I like a song/artist I should just own up to it and not be embarrassed even if it's Cyndi Lauper or Britney Spears. I should say that, in most cases, it's only a song or two that I like from these guilty pleasure artists, but still. I'm listening to it because I'm in a bit of a mood and this song lifts my spirits.

I'm downing a knock off version of orange Tic Tacs because I gave up junk food for Lent and I'm starting to feel the repercussion of this sacrifice. They are breath mints NOT candy so it's okay. I'm so fucking weak. I'm never going to last forty days. Actually, I think I would be doing better if I hadn't run out of snacks yesterday. No raisins, no celery, no carrots, no granola, no hummus. I still have cheese sticks and apples (and the Pink Lady apples are so good), but it's not enough. This coming from the girl who wants to magically lose five pounds before the 11th (or 8th).

Today was one of those 12 hour work days that I enjoy so much. Another sacrifice only this one is made in the name of music. Anyway, after reaching my destination I jumped out of the van and I hear birds. It's been a long time since I've heard birds singing and it makes me excited for spring and summer. That lovely moment was ruined rather quickly at the thought that not only do birds and other cute creatures return in spring, but so do insects. Not a favorite of mine, in fact I have a bit of a phobia. Spiders I'm okay with (just not mutant sized ones) because they eat other insects.

I'm trying hard to resist the urge to grab another cheese stick as it would probably be my fourth one today. We're out of milk as well which is my alternative beverage to water. Water, cheese sticks, and apples. Something tells me I didn't get in all my calories today...no, I'm sure I did now that I think about it. Not completely balanced, mind you.

Only a few short days and I'll find out if I won front row tickets to see the Who in DC @ the Verizon Center. Although I did my voo doo before entering the contest, I feel it in my soul that I'm not going to win. It was sad seeing the Chicago tickets go to someone who doesn't post on the thewhotour.com fourms, knowing two of my friends on there entered, but the winner seems like a genuine fan so I can not complain. However, I will complain that since the first two winners no other active member of the forum has won. It's hard to get excited about people you never hear from. I, of course, would love to be the one to break the streak. I'm on a mission to get Roger Daltrey's (broken) tambourine. It would be slightly easier if I was sitting front and center.

There was something else I wanted to comment on, but I feel I've gone on enough. Plus, I can't get a cheese stick from where I'm sitting. What's another fifty calories?

Cold turkey has got me on the run...
