Failed Haiku

All this rain.  Although I shouldn't complain.  We need the rain. Wow.. that was like a poem.  If I cared enough, I'd check to see if it were on the verge of a haiku. hahaha Okay.. I did take the time and learned that I could have turned it into a proper haiku if I wanted - but I digress.

Made a mini adventure out of a trip to DC tonight. It was definitely an adventure but fun. I think that I will have more fun and make a few things on my list into haiku. hahaha

1. Tonight I experienced Ben's Chili Bowl for the first time.  I loved the experience but that chili I did not. hahaha  
2. Hanging out with a friend from bowling was fun.  Too bad his GPS was off it's rocker. I'm following him in my car and we're all over Northwest DC.. but hey.. it was fun.  The rain couldn't keep us from getting a half-smoked and some chili!
3. It rained all night long - so badly I ran to car - love that I did that short run.
4. My home is empty - a very nice feeling now -Wow, how FANTASTIC! 
5. A productive day -  at work I feel accomplished - back smiling!

This Way, Bub!

Today I learned a valuable lesson. It doesn't take me much to make me smile/happy.  I also understand that I can't make someone feel happy if they don't want to feel that way to begin with. Happiness begins from within.  Besides, it's my birthday - and I found happiness in singing songs. I just wish I could remember what the last song was that I sang because it was a new song I added to my karaoke playlist.

1. Tonight I had a blast running into two friends from work who share my love for singing karaoke. I think we sung about 8 songs total. Luckily the guy running the karaoke machine is smitten with Jen. LOL
2. I love Annies Paramount Steakhouse. To me, the chicken chili is THE BEST THING on the menu. Second best are the onion rings. Also, I saw my friendly server, Corrina. She's so nice!
3. If you know me.. you know I'm always meeting people.  Last night I met Rachel, Lisa, and some other girl - LOL they bought me a birthday drink while I was singing. That was super nice of them.
4. I went by campus tonight to check out the ice rink.  It was on and poppin'!  I loved the response the students had to the event.  BRAVO!
5. Finding a new song to add to my karaoke repertoire!  Fastball's, "The Way". Awesome song for my vocal range.
