Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'!

I've decided to take matters into my own hands. No more grumpy Wednesday wake-ups to a blaring buzzer next to my head. No more snooze button slapping. I've got to start waking up happy. Especially since the weather forecast is going to start looking a lot worse than this really soon.

And this is already starting to make me a little depressed.

My iPod was just shuffling away in my office (which is risky given how many Harry Potter books and assorted musicals I have on it), but then I heard Gordon MacRae singing...



Please please please listen to this. It will make you happier.




I have the most vivid memory of watching this movie in my grandparents' bedroom on a TV (which they still have) that hase a twelve inch screen. It's half as big as the monitor I'm staring at right now. And then I think of my grandfather singing "OOOOOOOHHHH..." from the beginning of the song "Oklahoma!" and how he would make us slap his back before he sang "klahoma!".

 He would hold the "OOOOHHH" for like, ten minutes.

 At least I thought it was ten minutes when I was seven years old.

He's a fun guy.

So I'm throwing out my dinky alarm clock with the obnoxious blaring buzzer noise and I'm going to start waking up to "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'!". This combined with one of those fancy sunrise alarm clocks might be a recipe for guaranteed morning positivity.
