New Attitude

I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude.

Oh yeah, sing it with me, Grainiacs…Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo; I’ve gotta new attitude!

I just noticed yesterday that my attitude was a-changin’.  It hit me at work. I realized I was walking around more and smiling more and joking more.  When I wasn’t feeling good about myself, I wanted to hole up in my little cubicle called Me!  I went to work and got my work done, but I didn't get up much or try to call attention to myself.

When you feel good about yourself, it shows in everything.  I am back on track with weight loss (no big news to report as of yet…I weigh on Tuesday evenings), I’m ahead of the game this week with my paper for Old Testament, and the house is not a total disaster area (close but my attitude about it is okay).  

The bank bought red/white/and blue (Memorial Day, 4th of July!) t-shirts for us to wear on casual Fridays.  Corporate policy is to wear ALL t-shirts TUCKED in.  Well, you and I both know that chubby people do not like to tuck in the shirts.  We prefer (or at least I do) to wear them out.  My new attitude has my bank t-shirt tucked in (and pulled out a little...okay A LOT) so my muffin top is not overflowing too noticeably!  Sheesh, the things we'll do to show off our new attitude.  I was watching some old footage on youtube of Patti LaBelle singing "New Attitude" and you would most definitely need an attitude to wear some of the stuff she was strutting.  Of course take into consideration it was the 80's.  I mean, really, WHAT were we thinking????  My cute little ones still laugh hysterically at my old photographs of that era...you know....the Polaroids?  

So wish me luck today, Grainiacs.  I've got my hair done and my shoes on and my shirt (ahem...still not completely comfortable with it, but hey...) tucked in and I've got a new attitude.  Thank God it's Friday.  I'm not sure I could keep this up all week. zzzzzzzzzz
