This entry is called Happy Day for two great reasons. For one, Oh Happy Day was the song that the choir sang that brought down the house in Sister Act 2, starring the one and only Lauryn Hill. I went to the DuSable Museum and witnessed a beautiful portrait of Lauryn Hill, composed of paint and broken vinyl records. I am a huge fan, and if that piece is still available when I get ready to decorate a house, it will be mine! The second reason that this is a happy day is that, I was in an extraordinarily good mood today. It was cool enough for me to bust out my light weight pleather jacket, and calf high boots. There was a chance for me to run into my ridiculous crush, DeMarcus at the museum. I didn't run into him, but that's ok.
As I was getting ready, Megamind was on television and I had been wanting to see that for a long time. I rode my bike to the museum and examine a few exhibits a little more thoroughly. I had planned to drop in on Mrs. Julian, the archivist/librarian, but she was too busy to meet with me. Not to be discouraged, I sent her an email later on in the afternoon. I also RSVP'ed for a workshop and lecture at Northwestern University for next week. I spent time working on iTunes music library and revising my article. Lauren cooked broccoli, brown rice and some sweet and sour chicken, and she shared it with me. Apparently, this is the last great meal before she goes on the South Beach Diet...parts of her personality that I don't understand... I knew that I was in a good mood, because I was dancing, all day! In the mirror, in the kitchen, down the hallway, I was getting it. The cabbage batch, the running man, Jersey turnpike, whatever the feeling brought. Melanie and I would have dance breaks all the time, it was the best. Life is good, what more can I say?
