Do you ever try to say one thing but then say something way different? It happens to me, and most recently it was this…
Scenario: Catching up with a friend I hadn’t seen in a few hours.
What I normally say: “What’s up?”
What I wanted to say: “How’s it going?”
What I said: “How’s up?”
I’m an idiot. But now I either say “How’s up?” or “What’s it going?” more often than I ever have. At least it became a funny tweet.
They’re called Remoras. You know those fish that attach themselves to sharks? But I’m wondering which little fishy was the first one to think, “Hey, let’s try this!” Because I know for me, when I see a shark my first thought isn’t that I want to swim with it.
Anyway, happy Wedneday to ya!

On a beautiful day in Nashville, I took my two dogs to the Centennial dog park. One is quite social, but the other… not so much. Check the next 3 pictures to see if you can find my anti-social beagle. Then keep scrolling to see if you’re right!

But hey, she’s awesome and I love her!
I recently did something I’ve never done before, and no it’s not going to a naked party in Vegas. I finished reading a book in 5 days. And! it was 352 pages long. Not an easy task for me, that’s for sure. The book is called “Love Is A Canoe.” It was an enjoyable read that kept me interested the entire time. Partly due to being in Vegas where if I wasn’t working or reading, I would be losing money or playing this game. Anyway, the book enlightened me to at least two things: naked parties and the word “hubris.” I’m either on my way to a more cultured life (learning new words), or just now realizing I definitely missed out in college.
The good news is my December birthday party plans are all set!
Feeling kind of sluggish after returning from Vegas a few days ago. I can’t pinpoint anything specific that’s causing this down-and-out mood. My dogs greeted me with yelps and wagging tails as I arrived home from the airport (which was flattering). I caught up on the latest episodes of Duck Dynasty (which were hilarious). Even took an early evening nap (which was heavenly). Plus, that was after a typical dinner of Past Sides fettuccini alfredo. Maybe it’s the time change that’s affecting my biological clock? We went from Central to Pacific to Daylight Savings back to Central. Wait, do I even have a biological clock? I don’t do a lot of logical things, so honestly, I’d be surprised if my bio wanted any part of logical. This sure better not be the start of a midlife crisis but it can’t be a quarter life crisis, can it??
…maybe I just need Pepto-Bismol.
