Lunch Break Blogging

Boy! Today is flying! (whooshing sound ensues)

But, I have an hour now to eat a turkey sandwich, an orange, and a $0.25 bag of Fritos. I love Fritos, and when it comes to chips, they are a great choice. Don’t believe me? Look at the ingredients: whole corn, corn oil, salt…NO PRESERVATIVES

That’s it: just natural goodness from the earth and only 1g of saturated fat.

So, instead of buying a whole big bag of them, I buy the tiny little individual packages. They’re a perfect serving size so I still get that salty crunch and taste, but don’t eat too much.

Anyway…

Well, I’m feeling much better than I did when I first woke up this morning. Not only did I go to bed too late, but I didn’t sleep well due to the argument Mel and I had. *damn* I also woke up with draining sinuses, which always makes me feel like I’m going to vomit. So, once I got to work and settled in, I went and got a rare cup of coffee to help perk me up.

And lo and behold! As I was walking toward the coffee room I ran into none other than one of my missing, who I’ve been emailing and making plans to see on Friday, but haven’t seen for ages. Yea, I know it’s odd that I would call her “missing” when we work for the same company, but it’s a big building and she’s also really good friends with an ex of mine. She’s gorgeous! I love her to pieces and always will (she was actually the first person I came out to), but I’ve felt the need to keep my distance knowing that she would understand since that breakup wasn’t nearly as amicable as this one. The last thing I ever want is for any of my friends to ever feel stuck in the middle. I’ve been there and it sucks!

But it was so great seeing her that I just, instantly, forgot all my worries with Mel and by the time my little cup of coffee was gone, I was wide awake and jolly again.

Ah…it feels sooooooo good to smile.

True Colors
By Cyndi Lauper

You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Oh I realize
It’s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don’t be unhappy, can’t remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there

And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

(when I last saw you laughing)
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there

And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show

Your true colors
True colors
True colors
Shining through

I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
