1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.. .again.

13. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this — ever?

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail.  What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?

17. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. My four-year old son asked me in the car the other day “What would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?

Story of Stuff

Today I wondered about Toilet Paper? Why does it have flowers on it? I mean really, these neat little flower & pattern indentations on them. Is there a need for this? Does the patterned texture “up” the retail value? I imagine it must cost more to produce then the non patterned single ply TP. I find it even more intregiung that I’ve never noticed it before, certainly flowers vs non-flowers has never swayed my decision to go.

The memories are few of  my grandpa and grandma Sell(my paternal grandparents), but one remains in the forefront in my mind.  That memory is of the “Funny Papers”. Each time our family left my grandparents home, my grandpa Sell always gave us a little tug on the arm and said, “Hey, see you in the funny papers.” I wondered most of my childhood what that even meant. Was there a newspaper I haven’t heard of, or a secret club I wasn’t old enough to join? Sometimes he shouted it from his cozy recliner, sometimes he walked us all the way to screen door, but every time he gave a little chuckled and tip of his trusty ball cap.

I know now grandpa was simply saying “good-bye, I love you and hope to see you again,” in his own personal way. It’s that precious memory, that sparked the idea for this personal blog.
