So I get up this morning, and the sun is out and the birds are singing. I drag myself out of bed, brush my teeth, and go to the gym.

I LOATHE getting up this early, but hey, I am determined now! I come home, pack my healthy lunch, and get ready for work. I have some time, so I make myself a protein shake with the last of my protein powder, a banana, peanut butter, and flax seed. Deelish. Now, I have my back pack, handbag, lunch bag, coffee mug, keys, water bottle, and the deelish protein shake. I go out to the car to put all of this into the car. I begin shuffling all of this stuff in, put the shake on top of the car, and go back to lock the house. All set!

I pull out, and drive down the street. My friendly neighbor beeps at me. Good morning neighbor! I am so lucky to have nice neighbors. She keeps beeping and pointing. Yes, isn't it a nice car? I love my red Honda too, thank you for noticing. More beeping and now flailing of the arm now. Is the car on fire? Do I have a family of raccoons on my roof who are plotting my death? With a panic, I slam on my breaks......and quickly realize what she was honking at......as the protein shake spills down, through my open sun roof, open windows, and onto my head and outfit, and all over the interior of my poor car that I just detailed with a fine tooth comb this past weekend.

Remember that show, You Can't Do That on Television, when they dump slime on people? Yours Truly. My neighbor looks at me, with this look of disappointment on her face, as if to say, "I told you so, you moron". She says, "I'm sorry, I tried!" I tell her not to be sorry, that I appreciate her trying to tell me that I left my breakfast on my roof, and that I am a complete idiot. I turn around , protein shake still dripping everywhere, and drive home. Not only did I have to wash the outside of the car, but the inside too....again. I go into the house, where the cats look at me, startled, trying to figure out what the mystery coating is that I am wearing. I had to shower, and pick out yet another outfit for the day. Let's try this again!

I finally reached work, about an hour late, but what else is new. I can still smell protein shake, and I am sure that my car is going to stink to high heavens later, but hey, what can you do.

Tuesday is the new Monday.......
