Happy Thoughts

Posted by Moose on January 30th, 2007. Filed under: Random Lists.

1. Slight lift in spirits when the emotions that have been roiling in my gut ease off and I can take a gasping breath. This is always a nice moment. (Note to self: Read copy of The Female Brain I got for Christmas because DAMN! this thing needs an instruction manual.)

2. Giving the latest monkey a Speak-and-Spell, so the poor thing can ask for snacks without stretching the limits of readerly tolerance. My brilliance, it knows no bounds.

3. Accidental dumping of way too much chocolate powder into my morning coffee, with tasty results.

4. Side effect of emotional crisis/sensitivity: more heightened awareness of what’s going on around me. I feel more alive than when the day is consumed by to-do lists.

5. Nice people who send nice thoughts via comments, email or brain waves (the lazy kind of nice thoughts, my favorite). Right back at you.

6. Loving someone with the same intensity that I want to bop them over the head with a whiffle bat. A big, yellow whiffle bat. The image pleases me.

    I think every household needs a big, yellow whiffle bat. And possibly a pet monkey with a speak and spell, too. But that’s another conversation altogether.

    Glad you’re feeling better.

    OH, HOW TRUE THAT IS! Also: dangerous. Esp when I see a pair I love. They’re on sale for $250 – down from $500. What a deal! Then I have to bang my head on the nearest flat surface shouting “NO! NO! STILL TOO MUCH TO PAY FOR SHOES!”

    Then the salespeople escort me out and it’s a moot point.

    Off topic, why do you post pics on your other blog MINUS commentary? I can see fashiony crap anywhere, what I come for is the commentary, woman!

    Basically, type at me! is what I am admonishing here. Now do with that what you will, but it had to be said. As the other comments are gone anyways. What’s up with that too?
