Musings Of a "Stay @ Home" Mom

The other day, I was at work and I heard the DJ talking about Sugarland's new video for "Stay"...she was saying that Jennifer Nettles should win an award for the video. Well, I've been watching GAC for days (because we all know CMT doesn't play music videos anymore), trying to see that video. So, I've been wearing out GAC, waiting for "Stay"...well, I just saw it. And it freakin' broke my heart. I heard JN got a divorce. She's either really good at making herself cry, or her ex is a cheating bastard. I'm voting for option #2. [men suck]

I went to Covenant today, to have lunch with Carla. It was good to see all my old co-workers, but its hard to believe I ever worked there, and liked it. Management is laying off people left and right. Yesterday, they laid off the Sales Analyst Manager. I mean, WHY??? Its obvious, if you read the business section, or check the stock prices of Covenant...I've heard rumors they're going private again, and it looks like Parker's running the stock prices into the ground in order to buy out shareholders real cheap. Shit, I'll probably get sued for writing this...oh well...at least I'm not on company time!
So, today - I'm proud to say - I dressed up in a decent fashion, fixed my hair, and actually [hold onto your seats folks] put on MAKEUP !!! Yey me!!! Well, I planned my lunch with Carla so that it would fall on the day of Lily's Fall Festival. This way, I don't have to haul my butt out of bed at noon and MAKE myself get dressed and made up to go watch her play on inflatable toys (unlimited rides for ONLY $12). I am excited about this festival, and to tell the truth I am hoping I'll meet some hunky single Dad. Hehehe...sounds just like the plot-line of a Mary Kay Andrews book to me.
By the way, her books are AWESOME!!! Hissy Fit should be made into a movie, and I think that Julia Roberts should star as Keeley. Let's see, who could be Will??? Gotta be hot, free-spirited and real. Not anyone like Brad Pitt. Her philandering fiance could be Ben Affleck: he's got the right look to pull off the role as a member of one Madison GA's untouchable families (not in the mobster way, in the small town politics way-they can get away with anything because of who their daddy is and who their granddaddy was).
Will would need to be someone heroic...cause he's got to ride into town in his yellow Caddy and literally save Keeley (not her life, but her reputation-sort of). So he should be someone like, um...totally STUMPED. Somebody read the book and suggest someone. If you're into reading, you could easily read it in a day. So, make a Saturday of it.
Well, I have 25 minutes until works starts (and I'm not talking about the paying kind, ya'll). I need to get psyched up for this Festival. Sheesh, I'm going to be spending my hard earned box painting money on inflatable rides and face paint. Oh well...... some people aren't so lucky. :)
