Stop! Hammertime!
I saw this at a 4-way-stop yesterday evening. HAD to take a pic. HAD to share it.
In other news, I’m drowning in life… and am struggling with finding time this week(s). To be totally honest, I am having a hard time finding my smile too. “Too busy for smiles?” you probe (heh, probe). Maybe… I think the “too busy” makes it too easy to miss the reasons to smile.
I want to thank all who commented on my last post… I am slowly replying to each one. The encouragement, the thought behind what each person said… I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. It seems I am in the down-swoop. I am feeling reflective, funny is harder to see and create… I want to just sit in a corner with my thumb in my mouth, my knees to my chest and cry. Or maybe just pound back fistfuls of chocolate chips. Or a pallet of baked goods. Beer. Tequila? All of the above, but not at the same time. Oh, a nice bowl of baked potato soup with extra bacon might help…
I don’t know why I am feeling “Debbie Downer-ish”, but then… I do know why. It’s all ambiguous and specific. And no “why” is really big enough to provoke such a dramatic response. However… I think I am going to start my period.
Every month for the rest of my life.
Until menopause, but, like THAT is something to trade bleeding for?
TMI. So sorry. See? I am not in a good spot.
*SCREEEEECH*
I recommend going to CHEERUPNATION, because it is a guaranteed place to go for a cheer-up. They are up for an award! Oh, JD at I Do Things is also up for the award, but a different category…an award I am willing to share. Also, If I do not win, I hope it’s becuase of I Do Things… she does things, so we don’t have to

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…

Ana got a job leading a Brazilian tour for 7 days which means I ALSO got a job — watching our daughter full-time for 7 days. And let me tell you, that ship’s hard!!!
I used to eat grilled chx breasts, salads and drink green tea. Now I eat Doritoes and guzzle Red Bull.
Then we play the game try to find Daddy’s keys in this messy tornado stricken house.
Screw it. Let’s stay inside and watch Einstein. (Again.)
Big love to you, Jenny!!!
He heeee: probe. Yeah, it’s a funny word. And somehow painful at the same time.
And now I think I’ll go make some potato soup.
Maybe, please, sometime would you consider posting your potato soup recipe? I am always looking for one that’s better than mine. Mine is good, but a better one would be, um, BETTER.
jenny – life is so full of ups and downs…I totally relate. Just the other day I was all “Kathleen, your life is brilliant – why the heck are you cranky?” and I responded “Hormones” and went on with my day. The good news is it ALWAYS gets better. Hang in there friend.
Remember, if your having your period you’re not pregnant. Yeah!! We love your smile, so I hope it comes back soon.
*Big Hug* That is all.
HA! I love the “Hammertime” stop sign.
I hope it cheered you up a bit.
I’m sorry to hear you’re still down. Your smile is there, don’t worry, and it’ll come back, bigger and brighter than ever. Just let it be. Don’t make it all worse, worrying about WHY you’re not feeling better.
Sometimes ya just gotta wallow a little bit.
“There’ll be a bump, there will be a bruise. There’ll be alarms there will be a snooze. There’ll be a path you will have to choose. There’ll be a win there’ll be a lose.
You gotta hold your head up high and watch all the negative go by. Don’t ever be ashamed to cry-you go ahead- Cause life’s like a jump rope.
…I want to tell you everything will be ok. That it will eventually turn itself to gold (w/ sparkly glitter!). So keep pushing through it all, don’t follow lead the way. Don’t loose yourself or your hope. Cause life’s like a jump rope.”- Justin Furstenfeld
It’s our new life motto…
Yeah, it’s a trend, this downer thing. It’s going around like a virus. I feel ya.
Girl, you are so not alone. I wish we were all feeling lively & upbeat rather than down, but there it is. {{hugs}}
That picture is great! I always say Hammertime when someone says Stop. Hee!
