Monday Musing: “My Greatest Day”

It’s no secret to anyone who knows me.  I dig Bowling for Soup and their song “My Greatest Days” has always been one of those pick-me-up tunes.  You can’t help but smile when it’s playing. Doesn’t quite seem like the most apropos song for a Monday. Does it?

I really thought it was this morning as I blared it on the iPod.  I’d just dropped the kid off at school.  Even though there was snow on the ground and a foot predicted to fall in the next two days, the sun was shining bright. I had a crystal clear schedule for the day in front of me…and not too many foreseeable complications.

All I had to do was put a drop of superglue on one my (indulgent) acrylic nails that was lifting and I could put my butt in the chair and begin my revision process on my new draft. And then the tube exploded, coating my hands with superglue.

Why does that stuff sting so much? Is it eating your flesh.

Trying to wash it off with water? BAD IDEA. It makes it set up, so my finger tips are all white and they feel oddly smooth.

Is it true that superglue can erase (in essence) your fingerprints?

Hmm…sounds like a story idea to me.  Where’s my idea notebook? Excuse me while I make some notes.
