It’s Monday. Again. I feel like my brain needs a day or two to adjust from the weekend. So allow me the opportunity to let it do so on my blog.

• This morning at work, I ran out to my car to get my iPod, and when I opened the door, the car alarm FREAKED out. I had NO idea how to get it stopped. People kept shouting at me to hit the alarm button nh the remote, but the thing is, I don’t have one of those remotes. So I stood in the parking lot laughing (this what I do when I don’t know what else to do) until someone came out and fixed it for me. He threatened to beat it with a hammer, but turns out all he had to do was stick the key back into the lock. I never would have thought of that. Especially on a Monday morning.
• I went to the college gym after work to “lift”. I use this term lightly because I have no idea what I’m doing in a weight room. I toyed around with the free weights until people left and I was alone to explore the other machines. Then some guy came in and I left.
• I realized that I most healthy when I cook or bake. With no homemade options, or an empty refrigerator, I cannot be trusted. Like right now. I’m starving and only ate half a Clif bar after my workout. I thought about a green monster, but that means I’d have to get up and mess with the blender. No thanks. I’ll wait until Dave gets home from his ride and just have him make me something. I’m a wonderful wife like that.
• On my way home I saw a rainbow! And I saw the end of it…right in the Ohio River. There was not pot o’ gold. Well, there might be a pot o’ gold at the bottom of the Ohio, but I was tired and didn’t feel like diving in to find out. Plus, even if there was a pot o’ gold in the river, I’d rather leave it. It’s probably toxic.
• When I first saw the rainbow on my right as I was driving…then I looked to my left and saw a sign for a “gentlemen’s” club. Then I thought that I’m in between two signs: one of God’s faithfulness, and one of man’s unfaithfulness. And I was immediately thankful that God is so faithful to us despite of our unfaithfulness to Him, and always gives to us more than we deserve. And that was the best thought that went through my Monday Mind.

Have you ever found a pot o’ gold at the end of rainbow? Did you have to swim the depths of the sea to get it? Or if not ye be an unfortunate, goldless soul, what was your “pot o’ gold” today?
Mine was seeing the rainbow!!
