Just a thought....
Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

Good enough to copy

Sorry for the repeat if you saw it in Marianne's notes.

* I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
* Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
* I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
* There is great need for a sarcasm font.
* How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
* Was learning cursive really necessary?
* Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
* I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
* Bad decisions make good stories.
* 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.
* 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.
* "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -ever.
* I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
* I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
* I keep many people's phone numbers in my phone just so I can look like I know many people.
* I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
* I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid " routing option.
* Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.
* I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
* I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
* How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
* I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a roadhog from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
* Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Trousers? Trousers never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
* Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?
* There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
* Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
* Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my behind everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

  5. I have seen this list and think it is both brilliant and totally on the mark! I could use someone to clean out my bedside table and vet my desk before the kids do, too BTW...

  6. "I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste."
    Or the opposite, the day I walked around sure I looked like Meryl Streep in THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, real sexy and earthy with my hair tied up in a scarf last week. When I got home and got a second, closer look, I actually looked like I had just gotten released from the asylum.

  12. I fold a fitted sheet by folding it in half lengthwise, then again, then after the pockets are tucked into each other, I roll the sheet up. Rolling them keeps them visually separate from the folded flat sheets. Just in case you wanted to know :)

  13. My kids pretty much taught themselves cursive writing, and loved it. Strange children indeed :)

  15. I haven't seen them before! Thanks for sharing!

    Some are reeeally good, eh! the one on the obituaries and the one on bad decisions.. so true!!! But I feel I can totally relate to: "Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is," to which I'd add, "lately, I can read the same line three times and still don't understand a thing!"
