Hold

So I am on "hold" with the credit card company (activating the new card)...the Muzak playing while I'm waiting?? "Material Girl" by Madonna =0)


....well I thought it was funny.

Ferris had it right

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
~ Matthew Broderick, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

So true. Life gets busy and messy and ridiculously complicated. We all need to remember to take time for ourselves, spend time with friends and family…ENJOY life, not just merely live.

To ink or NOT to ink

If I get a tattoo now that I have hit the big 4-0 would it fall under the “mid-life crisis” category? I’ve kicked around the idea of getting a tattoo for years and years. Long time. Thus far the only things that have stopped me from getting one is A) its gonna HURT!!!, and B) the spouse says ‘no way’. Its not like I am getting a full sleeve or a back piece, for heaven’s sake. Just a smallish tattoo on my…ankle? Shoulder blade? (NOT the lower back. Ouch.) of something feminine but not overly girly. Lord knows I am much more of a tom-boy than a girly girl. I had the brilliant idea for a while that if I ever went to Sturgis, I’d get one there…you know, “mark the occasion” as Sturgis would most likely be a once in a lifetime thing. Oh yes, I know….what WAS I thinking. (shrug) chalk it up to that wild, impulsive streak I have. Luckily, more mature thought processes halted that. Could have gotten one in Vegas at Vince Neil’s shop or at Hart and Huntington. Or I could have gotten one in the Bahamas with my BF. Again with the impulse squashing. I will get one in my hometown. I know where to go, which person to do it and what I want. Now if I can get up the nerve to face the pain….I’ll be set. Don’t hold your breath though. I'm such a wuss ;)

A Letter to Conrard Hilton

Dear Conrad Hilton,

I enjoyed my recent stay at one of your hotels. The room was nice – microwave and fridge were handy…the chair was comfy for tv watching….LOVED the Select Comfort –type bed…the room was spotless and nicely appointed...oh and the gym and pool downstairs were great. One tiny suggestion, though? Please make the “shared” wall between bathrooms thicker. I almost spit my mouthful of toothpaste all over the beautiful bathroom granite counter top and the mirror when I heard the sounds of couple in the room next to us having sex in their shower. Was I offended? No. I was laughing WAY too hard to be offended. While I found it funny, some folks may not. The maids probably wouldn’t have gotten a big yuk out of cleaning the spit-laced toothpaste off the mirror, either. So in future hotel-building…maybe splurge with some triple-thick insulation in that particular wall? Just a thought.

Looking forward to staying with you again soon!
Sincerely,
Wildflower

Next time...can I have an extra cookie?
