Thought of the dayā¦ āDo not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.ā -Elbert Hubbard
Which end is up
Have you ever had one of those days that you just donāt know where it went or which end is up? The above photo is part of a series of āLost in Colorā photos I did back in 2005. As you see this one is titled āWhich end is upāā¦
That was my day on Fridayā¦ I had planned on doing another recipe post, but was really busy and forgot get the photos taken when I was fixing dinnerā¦ Iāll make it again and then post them for youā¦ (no Iām not going to tell you what it wasā¦ youāll have to come back againā¦ I will tell you that
Hubby and The Offspring really enjoyed it!
In the meantime, I received the following in an email ā you know the onesā¦ the dreaded āforwardsāā¦ I get a lot of āforwardsā and donāt have time to read them as they come inā¦ except way back on April 2 I receive one that I couldnāt resist reading
ā¦ it made me laugh and I felt āthatās my lifeāā¦ it was before I started bloggingā¦ I forwarded it to a few family members and I got replies saying the same thingā¦ āthatās my lifeāā¦
So sit back and enjoy thisā¦ I donāt know who the original author is, but whomever you areā¦ youāre BRILLIANT!
Can you relate to this?
| Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. Itās called, āAge Activated Attention Deficit Disorderā. This is how it manifests itselfā¦ I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mailbox earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think, since Iām going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my checkbook off the table and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of soda Iād been drinking. Iām going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the soda aside so that I donāt accidentally knock it over. The soda is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the soda, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye ā they need water. I put the soda on the counter and discover my reading glasses that Iāve been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first Iām going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, Iāll be looking for the remote, but I wonāt remember that itās on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first Iāll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. At the end of the day: the car isnāt washed, the bills arenāt paid, there is a warm can of soda sitting on the counter, the flowers donāt have enough water, there is still only 1 check in my checkbook, I canāt find the remote, I canāt find my glasses, and I donāt remember what I did with the car keys. Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, Iām really baffled because I know I was busy all day, and Iām really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and Iā ll try to get some help for it, but first Iā ll check my e-mailā¦. |
