- The man next door to me is not capable of smiling; I know this because he didn't smile when I tried to open his door with my key and mistakenly said "sorry sweetheart"
- I would look smashing in my newish blue linen jacket if it didn't match the bruises under my eyes
- You can't zip through downtown in your car if every city in Canada has sent teen-aged representatives on skateboards to the Tulip Festival
- For some reason you can't buy tulips in Ottawa Loblaws stores during the Tulip Festival
- There is however, access to all kinds of chocolatey things there
- My doctor's earrings are so distracting that I almost missed his telling me I've improved since last week
- When you've had steamed chicken sandwiches for dinner for 3 days in a row, it's still possible to crave another if you've got one more avocado
- You can't work silently at a keyboard if you're wearing 18 silver bracelets; some of us can't do anything unless we are
- It's impossible to put together a Power Point presentation if you've only got Open Office; it shouldn't take 53 minutes to figure this out

more than i did, cept yr. hair Can be Too straight - discovered after spending $235 to get it that way. :)
ReplyDeleteI've actually gone thru the wrong door. I can't remember if she smiled. I was a bit distracted with trying to leash the dog back up and getting the heck outta there.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmmm I can relate!!!!
ReplyDeleteLorna you are brave, I wouldn't dare list what I learned today, you would think I was nuts...lol
ReplyDeleteI could create a list like that. However at the top would be it took me 60 years to discover permanents are not made for my hair. Of course I did not know I had native American hair until I found my biological family. My hairdresser mildly cursed when I told her. we spent fortunes on perm solutions with multiple conditions and supposed gentle or harsh instructions, with and without heat.
ReplyDeleteNote to self after speed-walking from the Museum of Civilization to Mackenzie King Bridge, hoping a bus to Billings and speed-walking home from there:
ReplyDelete*Hiking boots are not meant for speed walking
*Carrying an over-stuffed pleather handbag over your shoulder and hooking a full sized umbrella over your arm is quite awkward! (backpack and mini-umbrella next time!)
*Work clothes should be only worn in the office - you need work-OUT clothes for this - especially if you don't want to be "that sweaty, smelly lady" on the bus
At least I have the ability to stare down anyone in my way, especilly those teenagers on skateboards, idiotic business-people focused on their smartphones (once they finally glance up and realize I'm going to body-check them off the sidewalk)and silly girls who think it's okay to walk in groups of 5 shoulder to shoulder :)
I sure wish I had your sense of humor about daily life. I just love how you periodically describe yours. I'm grinning from ear to ear.
