A song for all the women of the Lounge:

[SeattleGirl]

Girls Just Want to Have Fun

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls they want to have--

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls--they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls--they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...


Girls of the Lounge, you have brought so much fun to my life!!! Thank you! :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

1. Aw, thanks, SeattleGirl.

:loveya: We love having you around. :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

3. Thanks, AM!

I love the boys of the lounge, but there's just something wonderful about the girls! :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

4. Joani baby!!!

I am so looking forward to your trip out West this summer. I have a guest room that you are most welcome to when you hit town, if you are so inclined.

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

5. Thank you for the offer. I've decided to drive this year.

Maybe next year I'll be up for the trike trip.
My trip to NYC showed me that I still need too much stuff to do this trip without a trailer until I can learn to travel with less.

I plan to stay in motels for most of my trip. After so much quite time on the road I'm not sure how sociable I'll be feeling. We'll talk.

[SeattleGirl]

6. Whatever you feel like doing is fine, Joani

There are several hotels not far from me, so if that works best for you, that's cool. I'd probably be pretty damned tired after traveling all the way across the US too!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

7. Thank ya!

;) :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

10. You're welcome!!

:hi:

[LaraMN]

8. First album I ever got! Good morning, sweetie!

We do know how to have fun, don't we?

[SeattleGirl]

11. Mornin' to you too, sweets!

We sure DO know how to have fun, and this girl is SO ready!

[LaraMN]

13. Have you got the weekend off?

Any fun plans?

[SeattleGirl]

17. Well, yes and no

I was not very motivated earlier in the week, and since I get paid by the billable hour, I have some time to make up! But I work from home, so it's not bad having to work over the weekend.

No plans really, but sometimes a no-plans weekend is just the ticket!

[LaraMN]

21. That sounds nice enough. I'm going out with an old friend tomorrow night.

So my weekend won't totally suck. The secondary highlight would be sleeping in, if that happens.

[SeattleGirl]

23. Good for you!

Hopefully I will catch some sleep this weekend too. Two hours this past night just isn't going to cut it for long!

[LaraMN]

27. Did you pull a DU all-nighter?!

Are you crazy, woman?!

[SeattleGirl]

29. A near-all nighter.

Wasn't my intention. I occasionally have insomnia, and this was one of those nights!

But, I admit, I AM crazy! I can't help it; I was drawn that way! :rofl:

[LaraMN]

36. Aw, the crazy folks are my favorite kind, and sleep is overrated, anyway.

I remember after my first son was born- we lived in Minneapolis and I had NO friends- I hadn't met anyone, and I felt like I was a total alien. I would drive around and think that there was the rest of the world...and there was me. I had no idea how many quirky, like-minded individuals there were hiding behind apartment doors and service counters.

DU is a treasure-trove of fabulous characters, hence it's addictive nature!

[SeattleGirl]

37. You got that right, Lara

I've always been a nightowl (or, Nighthawk). There are so many interesting people who lurk in the night, aren't there?

[LaraMN]

39. Yes!

On an odd side-note, right now I've a burning desire to go jogging. But it's snowing and ten degrees, and the stroller won't plow through snow. Damn, I'm antsy.

[SeattleGirl]

41. Do they make chains for stroller wheels?

Just kidding, but that would be a great idea for antsy moms!

[LaraMN]

42. Snow tires for the stroller!

:rofl:
Sounds like a yuppy-Minnesotan thing. I could make a cottage-industry of it!

[SeattleGirl]

44. There you go!

You could make a brazilion dollars with that! :rofl:

[wildhorses]

9. thanks for that....

I wish I could spend more time hanging. I miss posting on the Heidi and the Nighhawks threads.
:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

12. Hey wildhorses!

How are you???? Been awhile! :hug:

[wildhorses]

16. doing well, just got back from vacation...feels funny having a tan

in February and frost on the ground:P

[SeattleGirl]

18. Oooooh, good for you!

Where did you go?

[wildhorses]

22. Florida for a couple of weeks, recommend it highly!!!

very relaxing

[SeattleGirl]

25. What part of Florida?

I've never been there.

[wildhorses]

28. the gulf coast side

Ft. Myers, Punta Gorda, Tampa Bay and Sarasota. It is beautiful and the color of the water is very nice. It is different than the Atlantic Coast side. We always summered at Panama City when I was a child...so maybe I am biased but, I just love the gulf coast.

[SeattleGirl]

32. Sounds like a very beautiful area

I hope you have some pictures you can post.

[JVS]

14. *singing* Face down, ass up, that's the way we like to....

hmmmm maybe this 2livecrew song is just not the right song for the moment

[SeattleGirl]

19. Oh my, JVS!

Gonna have a little fun, huh? :evilgrin:

[JVS]

26. Just a little bit. Today is not a fun day. At 1:00 I'm quitting and...

going to get some sleep and beer.

[SeattleGirl]

30. Well, it's only 7:15 am here, so I'll hold off on the beer.

Having some breakfast instead, and then working some more. Gonna take a nap in the afternoon!

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. One of my favorites!

:hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

20. Mine too! And I got to hear her sing it live!!!!

She was here in Seattle on tour with Cher, and I swear, that itty bitty gal with the huge voice brought the house down. Every woman in the Key Arena was on their feet, singing along to that song. It still gives me goosebumps to think about it!

If you have never seen Cyndi live, and get a chance to, run, don't walk, and get a ticket!

[tjwmason]

24. Good morning Mrs. G.

:hi:

Have you seen that billy's missing you.

I can hear his pining all the way from Bedfordshire to Buckinghamshire....

[miss_american_pie]

31. Good morning, SeattleGirl

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

33. Good morning, miss_american_pie!

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. My dear SeattleGirl!

What a terrific song to get waked up by!

I always loved her......and the music video of that song always made me smile!

Thank you for being you......and for being here!

:loveya: :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

35. Peggy!

So nice to see you! Seems we've been missing each other over the past couple of days. :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

I got to see Cyndi live, when she was here a couple of years ago with Cher. Love both of them, but I'll tell you, Cyndi tore the roof off the place with that voice of hers! As I said in my post to MrsGrumpy, when Cyndi sang "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", every single female in the place was on her feet, singing and dancing! It was a fantastic experience!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. My dear SeattleGirl!

It is harder to connect without our Nighthawk threads.......

I know how busy Heidi is......still, I miss being there.....

BTW, go check out our literary magazine......I have something in it!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

40. I saw the thread for the literary mag

Just haven't checked it out yet, but I sure will! Thought about submitting my poem about living in a state of suspended animation to it.

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[redqueen]

43. Thank you!

I like that song... reminds me of some few-and-far-between happy times. :)

[SeattleGirl]

45. You're welcome, redqueen!

That song always picks me up and puts me in a better mood!


How are you doing these days? :hug:

[redqueen]

46. Pretty darn good, thanks!

Hope you're doing as good or better. :)

Still confused as all hell, but enjoying the ride more than not, nonetheless.

And I just got tickets for Mogwai... WOOHOOO! :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

47. I'm glad to hear that, rq!

I think about you a lot, wondering how you're doing.

Cool about the tickets to the concert! Have a blast!! :bounce:
