It’s Time to Get Funky

by Chilihead on January 9, 2009

in Family

My friends, I am in a funk. (All together now: How funky are you?) I'll tell you how funky I am. I'm going to get a new car tomorrow and I couldn't care less. And this new car? It comes with Bluetooth capabilities for my phone. Which means I can be hands-free in my car without even trying. Seriously. And my reaction? I'm all, "Whatever." I've been wanting Bluetooth forever and I don't even care about it now. (Is it bad to voice these things outside of my own mind? I know how shallow that appears. Ah, I'm as deep as your sink.)

I blame the funk on post-holiday let-down. Now, lest any family members be reading this post and think they are the cause, please be assured you are not. I get funky. I am funky. Sometimes the funk, she is not so pretty. This is one of those times.

I tell you that I am in a funk not for your sympathy, but because I'm seriously not the in the mood to write a damn thing. I know it's been sparse here for the better part of six months, but it may be about to get even sparser.

I do have good news, though. I'm having a giveaway of Little Debbie 100 calorie snack cakes on Monday. These snacks are delicious and just big enough to manage your sweet tooth cravings. So definitely come back on Monday. Mmmmkay?

Hope the funk gets going and you feel better!!
Your not alone. I kind of get into a post holiday funk myself. Looking forward to Feb!!

You do know that the bluetooth thing is like a microphone when your phone is turned off. It is really weird, but you can find the scoop here.

It is pretty funky, too.

Now I have that way-cool ’70′s song stuck in my head “Oh we got the funk. Gotta have the funk. Oh we got the funk.”
Or whatever.
I avoid the post-holiday funk until after my birthday. Which is in about a week. So I’ll join ya right afterward, okay?

If you are in a funk, diet Little Debbie snacks aren’t going to do a damn thing for you.

Funk will fly behind the wheel of that new automobile.
I am suddenly reminded that I had a Christmas gift for you. I still do, somewhere….

Oh, I’m sorry…Feel better soon, my friend. Except don’t try to rush it because that never helps.
You know what I’ve heard does help? A road trip to the DFW area. I’m just sayin’…

Welcome to the funk party. I’ll bring the wine, you bring the snacks?

“Get the funk out of here.”
Tasteless? Yes. But somehow I just thought that when you read it, it might bring a smile.
Hope things get better – been there for the better part of 5 months – just NOW pulling out. {hugs}

Hope the card doesn’t take you to… Funky Town.
Sorry. Couldn’t resist.

In the words of my good friend Chilihead: Girl you get your funk on good. Sometimes you need a funk. It’s your time.
You didn’t know those words would come back to haunt you, did you?
Live, breathe and eat that funk. You’ll get sick of it and find yourself looking at a brighter day… and a new car to really enjoy.
Love you!

Maybe it’s in the air. I thought that maybe if I shut down my old blog and started a new one it would get me going again, but not so much.
Enjoy your new car. Maybe once you’re in it…you’ll be defunkified? For a little while?

I’m sorry you’re in a funk, too. I have been in a funk since Thanksgiving. If I didn’t have kids at home I wouldn’t have even decorated for Christmas. This, too, shall pass. All of us that are feeling this way should get together and have a big funk party. Wouldn’t that be depressing?? lol. Take care.

Funks happen.

I totally understand about the funk not lifting even by the promise of a new car. First of all, it’s a lot of responsibility to go from your old one to a brand-new one. The stress! Ack! Plus, I’m assuming it isn’t free. The kind of money you have to plunk down is never fun – even if you have it. Then the fact that people expect you to excited about it and you can’t – well there’s guilt for ya – and that isn’t going to help at all.
Just feel what you’re feeling and know that feelings are okay. We love it when you do feel like writing, but we’ll be back even on dayst that you might not feel like it. I may not always post, but I do take a peek from time to time as I’m sure hundreds of others do also!

I’m officially delurking.
I read your blog and wanted to say congrats on the new car.
We just spent 48hrs using our sneakermobile’s so I’m excited for you.
I LOVE your blog and hope the funk passes soon!

19 Pam January 12, 2009 at 2:07 pm

Hope you’re over your funk soon. Hang in there.

20 emily January 13, 2009 at 11:08 pm

hope your funk passes quickly. hope you’ve got plenty of chocolate to endure it well.

21 Daiquiri January 15, 2009 at 9:22 pm

If your funk’s anything like mine can be, you’re not even checking your comments because you couldn’t care less. BUT…if you are? I find that blaring “Breaking Dishes” by Rihanna and dancing around like a lunatic will perk me right up and give me some attitude.
Peace…and un-funkitude,
Daiquiri
