Sometimes in life I am totally clueless about what is going on around me. My excuse is always that I am so busy that I don’t have time to notice but the cold hard truth is that I just don’t pay close attention. There is an old saying that ignorance is bliss and while that saying it so true in my case most days it could be better said that:
“Not only do you not know nothin’, but you don’t even suspect nothin’”
I like living in my own little world, clueless about what’s going on. It suits my purposes well. It isn’t that I am a dimwit, it’s just that I don’t have time to pay attention to a lot of non-sense. You know, stuff like the fact that I need to check out some Lipovox, or that my floor has needed to be mopped for over a week (please don’t tell anyone that). I do pay attention to what matters though. Like when my best friend needs me to call just to say Hi because she is having a bad day.
It’s all about priorities.

Yeah, yeah. I know. I hope you have missed me though.
Things just got a little crazy around here. I was out of town for a bit, my house looks like it threw up on itself, my yard looks like swamp lands that haven’t seen any care in a 100 years…you know, all that life stuff that sometimes gets in the way. So…
“Just throw me in a chair and call me a sack of taters!”
That’s what we say down here in the South when we have had a lot going on and are tired.
I am having to look for a new pair of glasses. Yes, I know. It wasn’t that long ago that I got a new pair. I just can’t seem to keep my hands on my favorite pair. I have a pair of rimless glasses that I absolutely love. They are light weight, they fit great, they don’t hurt my ears or my nose. Simply put, they are perfect. Perfectly lost. Of course if I had half a mind I might remember what I did with them. But since I don’t, I am just going to order me a pair and be done with it. Then, because I just ordered a new pair, I will find my favorite ones. Isn’t that always the case?
I know that my logic is a little off, and that’s ok, it works for me. You can just shake your head at me like Bric does. I promise I won’t be offended. Oh, and if you find my rimless glasses can you send them to me? They are sorely missed.
TGIF!!

Sometimes people beat around the bush a few times before eventually getting to the point of whatever it is they are trying to say. Kinda like if someone asks if they look fat, you never want to just come out and answer that. You might give some fat burner advice or something but you never, ever just say yes. That would be rude. So, you beat around the bush a few times till someone tells ya:
“Hurry up and get to the tail of that dog.”
In other words…get to the point already.
Don’t cha just love how us Southerners have a sayin’ for everything?

Sometimes life hands us some very unexpected situations to deal with…and it can all get a little overwhelming. During times like those you just have to remember that sometimes…
“Even a barren apple tree gives you some shade”
Just goes to show that all situations aren’t quite as bleak as we make em’ out to be. It’s real easy to feel like a little bitty fish in a huge pond without a fish pond filter but remember this, at least it doesn’t have a drain.
