Bathroom Concert

I love to stand outside the bathroom listening to the husband sing along to the radio as he is getting ready for work.

" It goes 1 by 1 even 2 by 2 ...."

Here is real; uninhibited...

"Take a look at me now..."

..singing his heart out...

"I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby..."

Outside the bathroom door he feels like everyone is watching him; judging. Mostly, this is because he really is that important and secondary, he too is a judge of all others whose lives breeze by him.

After his performance he comes out smelling great and groomed like a modern-blue-collar-metro-sexual, humming the last song of his concert.

"If you want to sing out sing out..."

Today is my day off.

(I hear you snickering. )

There are two schools of thought regarding a housewife's day off.
1. " Whatever.... everyday is your day off."
or
2. "Yeah right.... we know you have already cleaned the kitchen, finished two loads of laundry, ran errands only to return and have to clean the kitchen again because the kids stayed home to .... well, do whatever home school kids do."

Be that all as it may, I declared a few days ago that Thursday was my day off. By all powers of the forces to be - today is that very day.

I am extremely excited because while running errands, I found the perfect book at the library. It called me from across the room. As you now know about me, I believe in whatever word you use for fate/coincidence.

It is entitled "The TV Writer's Workbook". As a bigger fate/coincidence the author Ellen Sandler started her paid writing career by writing episodes for "Taxi". How crazy is that. After I have been telling everyone all week that my new adult paper route job would make a great sitcom, just like..... yes..."TAXI".

To recap.... on my very planned day off I find the very book that helps me write the very thing in my head the very week I started thinking about it.

Holy cow!!! What more can one person ask for?
Well, actually since you asked..... I am asking if anyone would be interested in a writers circle type thing. Just like the www.nanowrimo.org who write a book in a month, I am thinking about doing this workbook from start to finish in a month with the final result - one script!
