This may surprise you, but I’m a thinker. Okay, maybe that statement was playing fast and loose with the word “thinker.” But I do often have several thoughts clanking around inside my head at any given time. The problem is that I’m very susceptible to losing a thought if another thought pops into my head. Or if a possum happens by.
That’s why I developed a habit of writing notes to myself. I used to send emails but I got freaked out by that one day when I checked my email and noticed that I had not only sent myself an email, but I had also replied to myself.
Twelve times.
I also keep an ongoing To Do List on my computer. Except I call it “Today’s Goals” because that sounds much more positive and upbeat. I used to call it “Crap I Should Probably Do” but decided that was not very positive or upbeat.
On my “Today’s Goals” page, I also have several text boxes with random thoughts. One of them must be ideas for a blog post because this is what it says (verbatim, I am not making this up; in fact, I don’t think I could make this up):
lots of Jello/aspic
wine monkey gift wrap
what can I use glitter for
can we colorate the pasta
how to make hot dogs curl
how to make assless chaps
several variations on “tacky” something or other
-Jesus
-blanket
-glitter
Judging by the seemingly incoherent list, I would say it’s a list of google searches that have recently brought people to my blog. But, really, whose mind doesn’t jump from tacky glitter Jesus blankets to aspic on a regular basis?
Is it scary that I can totally relate to everything you wrote? (well except for the aspic
) You are witty!
Tonya, you should be terrified! haha.
i shall go on record as stating that it’s the lots of jello/aspic that i first found on your site and occasionally i will go back to that fateful post and just laugh and laugh and laugh. yours was the first blog post i ever read and i thought it was representative of everyone out therein blogland. oh i could not have been more wrong!!
