Monday Motivation

If You're Happy & You Know It...
Matt Bomer
Wow! Just Wow! There is so much turmoil going on in the world I am, well, needing an oasis to escape to. Is there actually one available where my positive energy won't take a licking? Most likely not.

Thus my Monday  Motivation is finding things that make me happy today. Like this photo of Matt Bomer wearing next to nothing on the beach meditating. This is how I am starting off my Monday and now because of me, so are you.

As I navigate the journey that is today I am going to focus on everything that there is to be happy about, and pay it forward with good vibes only.

Seeing this image of delicious Matt looking oh so tranquil on a peaceful stretch of sand is a great kick off point.

It's giving me what I need right here, right now. Then when I move on with my day it will be time to find some other Monday Motivation to bring back the happy. I am up for the challenge, you???

Who's the Happy Monkey? Why you are, duh!

Monday Motivation

Edina & Patsy

"Yes" I am here to confirm today is Monday. Thus your Monday Motivation assignment should you choose to accept it is to be Absolutely Fabulous.

When I woke up this morning I pondered the question "What would Patsy and Edina do?" why be totally, 100% Absolutely Fabulous!!!

So riddle me this, what makes you feel all warm and AbFab inside? Navigate to your happy place and enjoy the ride I say.

Thus I leave you with these immortal words via Patsy Stone:

 'The last mosquito that bit me had to check into the Betty Ford clinic'

Monday Motivation indeed!

Tunesday Tuesday!


Happy St. Patrick's Day! I know we are all pretty much confined to our respective dwellings, but if you want to celebrate you can. Seriously, why can't you party with your bad self at home?

So here is a throwback sort of Tunesday Tuesday song that I am sure is in everyone's topical minds. It's The Knack performing My Sharona. When the Corona Virus first hit I, like many of you, wondered when someone was going to parody this song and insert Corona for Sharona. Admit it, you know you did! 

While I have seen many memes to this effect, no one, yet has to do an actual song parody. Too soon probably since we are in the thick of it.

Thus I leave you with The Knack singing one of my favorite songs of all time My Sharona.

Mic Drop!

Weekend Vibes

That Face U Make When...
Cara Delevingne
Hey Ho, it's the weekend, time to cut loose and do whatever makes you happy. Whether that be swinging from the chandeliers, working out or reading a good book.

Whatever you engage in Cara Delevingne is here to set the tone for you. That's correct minions, Cara is giving off serious "Weekend Vibes." 

Because she gets "it." You know that mysterious, "it" everyone refers to, well Ms. Delevingne gets "it" - the image above nails that "it" to a tea.

"It" is something you can't define or put in a box "it" is something you innately have and understand, or you just don't.

Happiness Is...
Lizzo
"Hello world, here's a song that we're singin', C'mon get happy, A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin', We'll make you happy" - Come On Get Happy, The Partridge Family 

Today I am channeling Lizzo celebrating her sister's Birthday from the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! I was there just two weeks ago and had a grand time, and "Yes" like Lizzo, I got happy!

With all the strife going on in the world around us, please remember to do the one thing that counts most, make yourself and others smile, everyone, smiles.

It doesn't cost a thing and it feels good for all parties involved. Lizzo personally makes me smile every time I see her do anything. Thus I hereby decree Lizzo the mascot for getting happy.

Enjoy your day 100% minions...!

Monday Motivation

Your Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile
Michael Shinafelt
"Make a difference today just by smiling. Wake up with a smile, make someone else smile, and smile before you lay down tonight! Have a happy and positive day!"
In case you haven't put the pieces together today's Monday Motivation is to smile. Honestly it's been a rough go for me of late recovering from surgery with three more weeks left to go. This being stated one of the things that has kept me buoyant is my ability to smile at random people I see out and about.
This makes them and yourself feel good 😃
So let's kick off this week with a goal to smile at everyone you make eye contact with this week. Trust me it isn't that difficult and it's a gift that keeps on giving and it doesn't cost a thing except use of your jaw muscles.
Are you ready mouth? Start smiling....

Monday Motivation

 Serving Little Edie Realness
Madonna

"Wine is bottled poetry" - Robert Luis Stevenson 

That's correct peeps my Monday Motivation is wine, and not the kind that people do when they are trying to get their way. That's not my kind of wine, my kind is the kind you drink from a glass and it makes you happy

Thus your Monday Motivation is to c'mon get happy. Smiles everyone smiles! Holiday cheer is here in the form of a big magnificent glass of squashed fermented grapes.

So join me, myself and fellow wine enthusiast Madonna and raise a glass, and give yell. It's Mother F#cking Monday

Only eight more days until Christmas, suck on that!

Monday Motivation

You'd Better Work!
Teddi Mellencamp
Today, Monday October 1st 2018  I have made the conscious decision to bend it like Teddi Mellencamp and become an Accountability Coach.

"Yes" that's correct minions. Hey I did it for myself, now I am available to do it for you! What? You don't think this is for real?! Try me, I'm really good at telling people what to do.

Seriously though, if I can hold myself accountable anyone can hold themselves accountable too. I am a wild beast who is hard to tame, even for me.

Teddi is my spirit animal heading into the week and all the Monday Motivation I need to remind me of how hard I have worked. She and I share being on the shorter side height wise and tipping the scales at over 200 lbs

We both dropped the weight and got our booty's in killer shape, and we both just keep getting better!

Woot! There it is! 

Happy Monday!

Freaky Friday

Just Do It!
Madonna
"We go hard or we go home, We gonna do this all night long, We get freaky if you want" - "Bitch I'm Madonna" Madonna

Bitches I'm Michael! I go hard, that's why I never go home, oh and freaky? Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...

OK, I'm not going to divulge anything really other than I don't know about you cats but I'm feeling mighty real and quite free-ky this Friday. "Yes" the misspelling of "freaky" was on porpoise. As was the last typo.

Let me impart these words of wisdom to you on this August 10, 2018 - live by your own rules and what works for you. Surprise yourself everyday, go with the flow and free your mind and the rest will follow...that's correct now I am sounding like an En Vogue single.
Get Freaky

Hey Queen!

Did You Hear The One About...
Meghan Markle & Queen Elizabeth II
How many Duchesses does it take to make a Queen smile? Apparently just one if you happen to be the Meghan Markle Duchess of Sussex

Whatever Ms. Markle said to Queen Elizabeth II must be worth it's weight in gold. Seldom has anyone every seen HRH this giddy with delight.

Further proof that Meghan was the perfect commoner to become Royal. Let this be a lesson to all of you, a sense of humor goes a long way. 

Happy Saturday - and remember to smile Queens, smile!

Just Because...Polka Dots & Portman

Don't Forget To Dot The "I"
Natalie Portman
Just Because my computer crashed today. Just Because I now have a sparkly awesome new one & Just Because the first thing I saw when I got set-up and logged on was this, and it made me smile. Why It's none other than Natalie Portman working a polka dot dress.

Polka Dots are fun and so is Portman's infectious smile while sporting them. Let's face it, very few people can pull off "dots" Natalie slays and then some in them.

Finally I am up and running and coming at ya on the good ole WWW again. 

Now aren't you happy? Yeah, that's exactly what I thought you'd say....

Keep on doing you!

Monday Motivation

Would You Like A Slice?
Jon Hamm
While speaking with a friend of mine yesterday he mentioned seeing Jon Hamm in the current flick Beirut. He praised Hamm and the film. There's a tongue twister "Hamm and the film" say it three times fast c'mon, I dare ya.

Needless to say the conversation got me Jon Hamm dreamin' - "Yes" I started thinking about the sexy guy with the um, special delivery between his legs. 

Thus here he is in retro swim trunks during the shooting of Mad Men, one of my favorite TV Shows evuh. 

What's that? How is he Monday Motivation? Because Hamm's body is a hot regular guys body, not overly pumped but in good shape. Something that is attainable.

Having lost 40 lbs. recently having a body like his is my current goal, one I have almost reached.

So Happy Monday, time for me to have some private motivation with Jon!

Happy Monday!

Smile, It's Contagious
Lucy Hale
While browsing the WWW to what did my wandering eyes did appear, but Lucy Hale minus the eight tiny reindeer. 

That's correct minions, Lucy aka Aria Montgomery of Pretty Little Liars and the upcoming CW show Life Sentence has that post Christmas glow. You know the one you get when it's over, yet you are satisfied? Like the cat the swallowed the canary, a pig in the mud, the...well you get the picture.

Looks like Lucy had fun exchanging gifts with her friends. Hope you did with you and yours.

Christmas comes but once a year, however this year we need to keep the spirit going, seriously think about it, but not too much.

Wave Your Hands In The Air Like You Don't Care
Lady Gaga

Ciao Bella!

Wild Cat!
Bella Thorne
There's something about Bella Thorne that I find fascinating. I am guessing it is in no small part due to her beauty, presence and that fact that Bella marches to her own damn beat!

It's been a spell since we have had a fiery red headed star and Thorne, star of the Freeform show Famous in Love fills that void very well, thank you very much.

So you just know when I saw this photo of her in a leopard print dress online I had to run it. Of course  you did because that is what you are viewing, right here, right now. 

Enjoy & Happy Hump Day, indeed!

Are You Worthy?

Divas
Mary J. Blige & Viola Davis

Let's get this week off to a roaring start with a too good to be true photo of, well music and acting royalty. Do you think you are worthy? Of course you do.

It's Mary J. Blige and Viola Davis at the Hollywood Film Awards in Beverly Hills, CA

Once in a while there is an rare opportunity to get two greats in one terrific photo, this is one of those times.

By the way how about this season of How To Get Away With Murder? While I have always enjoyed the show I never felt it had reached it's full potential until the current season.

Breaking up Annalise Keating and her pet students was the masterstroke the series needed. It is much more fascinating to see everyone fending for themselves to some degree than as a unified front IMHOP

Bow Down Minions and Happy Monday
