What Was the First Thought in Your Head?
The time has come to ask a soul-searching question: What was the first thought in your head when you got out of bed this morning?
I've always felt the first reflection of the day should be a noble one—a thought that would serve mankind, promote world peace, cure cancer, or engineer a way to drain the calories from Hostess Twinkies while still leaving the creamy white centers intact.
Unfortunately, my brain never cooperates in that arena ... which explains why the Twinkies are still loaded with carbs and fat.
Today my mind woke up singing this song:
As coroner, I must aver, I thoroughly examined her
And she's not only merely dead, she's really, most sincerely dead.
It's from The Wizard of Oz, and ah, yes, what a way to start the day. Singing about dead people. The one consolation is that I'm only singing about a dead witch, not actually seeing one.
When you get a minute, drop me a note and tell me what your first thought was upon waking. Or your last thought before going to bed. Or any thought you can recall. Regardless of what it is, I won't laugh.
Okay, so maybe I lied about not laughing, but I promise to keep it to a muffled giggle—most likely because my mouth will be stuffed with Twinkies.
What's playing on my radio: Who's Holding Donna Now? By DeBarge
What's playing on my TV: Nothing
What's playing in my head: Same song as above, at least until it's finished. Then I'll probably be back to the "coroner song".
First thing this morning and most mornings that I allow my brain to wake up with me. Yes often it is left in bed but that isn't what you asked. I think about my strange dreams, no I'm SURE I'm not pregnant I always have strange dreams. Some are funny but last night I dreamt my babysitter and her husband were trying to take over the world one ward at a time. Now I LOVE my babysitter so I didn't like waking up not trusting her. Oh the power of the subconscious to mess with your head. but I guess the subconscious is your head so why does it mess with itself. Yet another thought to ponder. Oh well. I think I'll go to sleep and see what I dream tonight!
Janet,
Oops, sorry that I typed your name wrong in that last comment. Poor eyesight and fuzz for brains, that's to blame!
Thanks again for commenting ... please come back again and I promise I'll get your name right.
Janet:
ACK! Gremlins!
I'm not nuts, honest. There was another reply that I wrote before this one, but apparently the gremlins ate it for breakfast.
Anyway, it said that I loved your comment about our heads messing with our heads, and thanks for leaving your thoughts.
My first thought this morning was, "Hey, it's daylight already! I don't usually wake up in daylight!"
I normally start work at 5.30 A.M. when it's dark as the inside of a whale's belly. Not that I've ever been in one, but I learned from Jonah
Anne,
Wow, that's a killer schedule you keep, getting up at 5:30a. The chickens aren't even awake then!
And I agree with you about Jonah. I prefer to learn from his experiences, not actually have them myself. Whale vomit ... I'd rather not be involved in it!

Ah, to be inside the head of a bumblebee. I opened today's page in history wondering what I can do to fix the problems I caused yesterday, when I started the day wondering how I could make the world a better place. I know the answer to that one, now. "Don't touch anything!"
My daughter, on the other hand, came out of her bedroom singing, "It's the master, step in time, it's the master step in time la la la la." I could tell she must have been dreaming of Mary Poppins.
Knight Watchman,
See? That's what happens when you try to make the world a better place. Something always goes KA-BLOOEY! You should just give up and spend your time eating Twinkies, instead.
Glad to hear your daughter came out of her room happy, though. And now that you've mentioned that, the words playing in my head right now have changed to, "It's a jolly 'oliday, wit Mary. Mary makes the sun shine bright." Yup, from Mary Poppins. I'll be singing it all day and thinking of you. Or cursing you. I'm not sure which!

first thought? Oh crap! it's 7am already and i'm supposed to be taking lili to seminary right about now. i'm not dressed, i haven't said my prayers, i haven't gotten my daughter up, and the neighbor boy who rides with us is due in about 3 seconds!
fortunately, i'd forgotten it was late start day at school.
Karen,
And don't you just love it when you're running behind like that and then the phone rings?
Glad it turned out to be a "late" morning and you had a few more minutes to get it all together.
