Scenes from a cubby

I think I've decided to alternate serious posts with funny ones. Let's see how it goes.

I've discussed the new soulmates before, but since it's likely I'll discuss them again, let me provide you with handy dandy nicknames:

How's about Sheezy & Neezy?

So, let me set the scene for you. I was speaking to Neezy on the phone (as I frequently am...any minute now: firing). Neezy is one of the funniest people I know. So, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to share some of our convo.

This is Neezy relating a conversation she had with her dentist's office:

"So, Neezy, what are we doing tomorrow at your appointment?"

"First of all, who is this? Oh, hi. I'm thinking I'm gonna go get really loaded before my appointment so when he puts his hand in my mouth, I barf."


Discussing with me why my life/job/existence is soooooo hard:

"It's because God hates you. Something about you killing his son?"

Great googly mooogly, I love this woman.

Journey

No....not the band. Though, they do rock.

Sometimes I can get so wrapped up in my own shit, I forget that other people struggle too. They have goals and dreams, often much loftier & more inspiring than my own.

But life can be hard. How does one keep moving forward? Sometimes it feels as though life is designed to make you question yourself. If you know you love something and that's where you should be, what do you do when it seems like you'll never get there?

Do you change tacks? Maybe go in a different direction?

Sometimes even that feels like you're quitting.

What if you feel like putting the ol' "nose to the grindstone" is wearing you down?

What if you can't actually get to "Point A" from "Point Z"? What if you're supposed to stop in the middle, breathe & stay there for a bit?

How do you keep going? How do you even know when you get there?

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Well folks, it's almost that time.

No, not fall (though I love me a good cashmere cardigan).

Perhaps the "wedding to end all weddings"?

Maybe Daisy's wedding then?

Wrong on all counts....

wait for it....

IT'S MOTHERFUCKING HOCKEY TIME!!!!!

Yes, in less than 24 hours from right now, I will be watching my beloved Hawks on the television again. And you know what that means, don't you?

Imaginary Husband is back! I had a great photo of him playing golf, but it was all fuzzy when downloaded (you'll just have to trust me).

Ok, I do have an actual "deep thoughts" post that I'll get up shortly. Thanks for bearing with me.
