I was super pissed this morning when a squirrel ran out in front of me while I was on my bike.
“You wretched little animal!” I thought. “You almost made me crash!”
Now that I’ve had most of the day to think about it and consider the fact that I almost squished, flattened and killed that little squirrel, I’ve come to the conclusion that he was probably a whole lot more pissed about our encounter than I was.
And perhaps rightly so.
Sitting in a coffeeshop on a cloudy, 65-degree day. Dad and son (maybe three years old) walk in to meet up with Mom who’s sitting at the table next to me. Her first comment, uttered with mild frustration and disbelief: “You dressed him in shorts?!” The response, slightly sheepish, but mostly defiant: “Well I’m wearing shorts …”
Mike has been doing a bunch of great handyman-esque tasks around ou new home. Most recently, he hung up this beautiful blue, glass light fixture. Apparently he’s quite proud of the far away land from which it comes: The “Made in China” sticker faces out toward the eating area for all to see.
On my running route this morning, I abruptly ran into an unexpected yet highly distinct wall of smell that lasted for approximately 10 yards. After only a moment’s contemplation, I was able to pinpoint it as that of a herd of octogenarians decked out in their starched Sunday best shuffling toward the the center seats in the front pew 43 minutes before the pastor’s service begins.
Back home for a wedding last weekend and going through his boxes of old junk, Mike found his rather sizable (nearly 100 in all) key chain collection. Not having a use for them any longer, he put them up on eBay.
After only one day, he’s already made $40! Looks like we’re going to be able to spring for that extra-fancy flatware for our wedding after all!
Nearly forgot deodorant for the five-day trip to Glacier National Park with my almost-inlaws.
Yikes! Divorce diverted!
