Go and fix your make up, girl, it’s just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart
Well, dear readers, it appears that I am having a bit of the nutty of late (hold all sarcastic remarks if ya know what is good for ya). Lack of focus and full of doubts. When in doubt, go right back to your roots. Means lots of cooking and listening to country music to find my center.
Turns out, what makes me happy is getting things done. Better still when there is a physical result of the work to witness after the fact, a clean house, cookies on the counter, or a real sense of organization.
Yesterday's debate was rail against the wind, or just plow on as an example of how I think it should be done. As it happens the end result is to trudge ever onward with what I believe to be a worthy thing. That means pulling up my big girl panties and doing what needs to be done without complaint.
Leave it to another loud-mouthed short-stack Texas girl to blare a message that resonates the heart of what I needed to hear. Yea, the song is about a break-up, but the idea of pulling yourself together no matter what has put you off your game and act with intergity holds true.
Powder your nose, paint your toes
Line your lips and keep 'em closed
Cross your legs, dot your I’s
And never let 'em see you cry
Go and fix your make up, girl, it’s just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart

*PS. Maybe it has something to do with the name, but Mirandas always seem to speak the truths I need to hear in a voice I can hear.
