Living la Vida Lupus

Do you attack life or does it attack you?

It is not that hard a question…do you attack life with a vengeance, wrestle it to the ground, and grab the championship trophy or does life attack you from every angle, does everything you step in turn out to be poo?

I guess there is a middle ground somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it.

This conversation may turn really weird, I’m sitting in Starbucks (SB) because the air conditioner went out at my house yesterday. Can’t get it repaired till tomorrow. If you know anything about Texas you know we had a miserable night last night. Anyway, why might our conversation “turn weird”, you should hear some of the conversations going on around me…really, I may have to comment on some of them. I promise you there is a “Fonzie” guy in here giving a young male barista advice about women.

Did ya’ll see “Hot Tub Time Machine”? I just heard him say “munchies”. Maybe I am not really at Starbucks, maybe I am dreaming…nope, I am actually writing so it can’t be a bad “retro” dream. The “kicker” to this story is the “Fonzie” guy says he doesn’t have a woman! Although he says he has lots of “young chicks”, LOL. Oh, he just said he isn’t a clean freak, he likes a clean house though. Not a clean freak, but you can eat off his “motor”, not what you are thinking, he works on cars, go figure. Please, if I am being a menopausal *$#@!, just let me know.

Hmmm, there is a young family here…eating breakfast…yea, they must hate their kids if they think any of the food here is “healthy”.

I must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

I really like working here at my local SB, the music is soothing, and I can always put in my ear phones if it gets too chaotic. Usually there are people meeting here to “sell” something, have a bible study, or do homework.

Ok, I have probably bored you enough. Tell me, please, do you frequent your local SB? Any SB? If so, what do you order? Do you hang out for a while? Drive thru? I just noticed they now have “free Wi-Fi” for everyone…that must explain why I can’t get online <smirk>. Whew, finally got online, I am so “not” techie and so “grumpy” this morning.

For what it’s worth this is a “Bonus Post”. Not one of my regularly scheduled conversations.

By the way I have added a couple of new pages to the site. In particular, I added a “Zumba” page. Check it out. Ok, don’t check it out until I get something posted on it J Our conversations may be a little erratic between now and September 13 as I am preparing for Zumba classes that will begin on that date.

As usual, thanks for letting me share as I face life with lupus,

XOXOXOs, Ruby
