I had a terrible day today
You’ve had that kind of day, too. Everything that had been festering around for a while decided it was all going to blow at the same time, and then, it’s all my fault. Like I was engaged in some cosmic plan to ruin humanity or something. Because I have that kind of power, don’t you know.
The thing is, I think I gave as good as I got, in a polite, uptight kind of way. Which is why I am sharing this email with you. My father, he-of-the-insufferable-number-of email-forwards fame sent me this a few days ago, and as usual, I ignored it until I had some time to decide if it was going straight into the trash, or what. As it happens, it’s a gem that’s perfect for the day.
Quote of the day:
“Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap, be ready …”
my laptop was kidnapped
Consequently, I am working from my son’s room. Thought I’d share what’s scattered across a 17-year old’s desk:
spiderman action figure
electric razor
empty glass bottle of RC Cola
too many broken pencils to count
a rosary
a fork (is there a plate? do I look?)
3 pennies, a dime, and a quarter
a Sith Lord Pez dispenser (hm, maybe it’s Emperor Palpatine)
a roll of toilet paper
a tuba mouth piece
That’s all. Just thought I’d share.
