I was going to wait until later to post this but since I’m up early-ish and my boss (who’s 3) remains sleeping, I’ll do it now.

I had shared some random thoughts one other time and have jotted down a few more since then, I won’t call them random thoughts though, they’re odd thoughts or arbitrary thoughts.

My best friend in high school used to laugh at how I included no segues into my stories when I would blab away to her, jumping from this to that, at what was going on or ideas I had and wanted to share. This reminded me of that.

1. I have flowers in pots and some perennials along the house and noticed how much better they look after a rain, and wondered why that is? I water them faithfully but for some reason after a rain, they really shine. Maybe I’m imagining it but rain seems to bring out the best in them.

2. Why do I feel hungover when I stay up even half an hour later than my usual bedtime yet I’ve consumed no alcohol? I feel so groggy the next day. I’ve had no fun, nothing alcoholic to drink and no poor choices were made, except the one to stay up past midnight, yet allllll the hangover. What the what??

3. In the boat the other day coming back to the marina after fishing, we passed another smaller boat and immediately into my head popped “kiss my wake”. Weird, I know. I think it’s a line from the movie The Great Outdoors starring John Candy, one of my favourite all time movies. That got me thinking more about the movie and the part where he’s water skiiing with his brother in law at the helm and he’s failing miserably at it and calling out to him “you bastard!” Meanwhile his silly wife is the spotter and she says to the brother in law, I think he wants you to go FASTER!

That movie is embedded into my childhood and when my three older kids were small we watched it on dvd and they quickly became obsessed as well, especially my son. He watched it so many times, he had the lines memorized.

4. This is so superficial of me to talk about but I am really noticing the lines in my face when I wake up and look in the mirror. Nothing can prepare you for it. And maybe some people don’t care or even appreciate them. Not me. I want my face to look like it did ten years ago. It’s really something for me to deal with lol. When you’re young, you can never imagine what you will look like old, nor do you care, ’cause you’re young…so who cares. But then it starts happening to you and geez, it’s really a slap in the face. It can’t be denied.
