Yeah

Go Obama!!!

I got rice cooking in the microwave 
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave 
And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say 
Hey I'm doing alright 

Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup 
Feelin pretty good and that's the truth 
It's neither drink nor drug induced 
No I'm just doin alright

And it's a great day to be alive 
I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes 
There's some hard times in the neighborhood 
But why can't every day be just this good?

It's been fifteen years since I left home 
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown
Give it my best and then I left it alone 
Oh...I hope their doin alright

Now I look in the mirror and what do I see? 
A lone wolf there starin back at me
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
Lord I guess he's doin alright

And it's a great day to be alive 
I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes 
There's some hard times in the neigborhood 
But why can't every day be just this good?

Sometimes it's lonely
Sometimes it's only me 
And the shadows that fill this room
Sometimes I'm fallin 
Desperately callin 
Howlin at the moon...
Ahwoo!
Ahwoo!

Well I might go get me a new tattoo 
Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise 
Might even grow me a Fu Man Chu...
Oh Aww!

And it's a great day to be alive 
I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes 
There's some hard times in the neighborhood 
But why can't every day be just this good?

And it's a great day to be alive 
I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes 
There's some hard times in the neigborhood 
But why can't every day be just this good?

It's a Great Day to be Alive~Travis Tritt

I've had that song in my head all day today.  Maybe it has something to do with last night's election results.  I just hope the electoral college agrees with the popular vote.  We'll find out soon enough I suppose.

Not only was last night amazing,  I have taken a step (yea, yet another one) towards my career/education goals.   I was going to go for an EMT course this spring, but after finding out that I have to wait till fall for that I looked some more.  So, scanning the course catalog online I saw that this particular college has a pre-nursing track.  Well that'll work.  I was looking at the classes for it and saw that I have several done already.  So instead of 2 years I may be able to get it done in about a year and a half as long as I do summer semester.  This will take a year and a half to two years off my bachelors in nursing degree.  

Today really hasn't been exceptional or anything.  It has been good though and I feel good about everything today.  I've also lost 4lbs so that feels good as well.  I think I'll hurry the kiddies through their homework so we can go outside and play catch or ride bikes or something.  It's suppose to rain tomorrow, but today is beautiful.
