Give yourself a break. That list sounds like you are thinking about one thing or a multitude of things while doing another. Can you slow down a bit, take some deep breaths and try to stay in the moment?
I still do some of those things to but not nearly as much as I used to, because I try to focus on what I’m doing at the time. Remember Mike’s blog about multi-tasking.
Hey, I want to see that new swear word book. I’m running out of creative expressions.
Wanda,
I left the eggs out of the pumpkin pie, after I refused to buy canned pumpkin and roasted one in the oven all day long; thinking I was going to bake my family an authentic version, so I agree with you “screw 2011” and “screw the government.”
I baked a Schwan pizza, following directions, for the cute young fellow that spent New Years Eve with me. It said it included its own baking sheet, and it gave directions for a conventional oven. Well, when he held the first piece up in the air, after really fighting to get it off the pan, he said, “Hmm, extra fiber.” Yup, the pan had melted right into the pizza. He said, “One day we will look back and laugh at this.” He’d already about busted a gut laughing! Anyway, I figured I’d saved the worst for the end of the year so I was safe for 2011. Somehow, that hasn’t worked! Just think what damage we could do if we lived near each other!

But Wanda, if you didn’t have all that assorted events to screw up your days, what would be left? You would be bored within a week. Make the most of your various exciting events and just blame it on someone else. You were wearing orange panties under your white pants because the dog was laying on the white ones. You have to wear underwires because they didn’t have anything else in the store at the time. You left the wax paper on the pie crust because the directions on the box didn’t say to remove it (course you might have to use a marker and make that a truth or relocate the price-tag over it) Imagine how much fun you can have thinking up who you can blame next and why.
You are rubbing off on me. Or like water, we are seeking our own level jointly. Got to write about renewed passports and split jeans this week so you won’t feel alone.

Funny, Wanda. Great writing.

If I lived closer, we could do all of those things together! Wouldn’t that be fun?
