Have you ever had one of those days when your mind wanders more than usual, coming up with random thoughts...
random thoughts while running errands the other day - At the oil change place - ladies' day 10% off - ladies lined up reading magazines - the manager calls out The Lexus is ready and we all look up to see who is driving a lexus - it is my turn when I hear - Who has the Durango? And I am met with a smile and Oh Hi - your daughter was just in here last week...
random thoughts at the library - the library is a peaceful place - except for the meeting room loaned out to the county assessors office - folks come and talk and argue and stomp out madder than when they arrived - someone said recently they should put up a metal detector or have a policeman on duty there - death and taxes go together, but hopefully not at the library...
random thoughts in the flower bed - deadheads - not the rock band groupies but the petunias - pinching off the dead flowers so new ones will grow...
random thoughts on age - I am twice as old as my youngest daughter - this happened before with my oldest daughter and won't happen again as I have no more kids - but maybe with the grandkids, let's see I was 40 when Kyle was born, so when I am 80 he will be 40 - but I won't remember to tell him I am twice his age even if I am still around and can still do the math...
random thoughts on reading - in this electronic age of I-pod and I-everything else and Kindle readers, reading actual books is more popular than ever - in my recent quest for a book at our library's website, I got this message: This item has been checked out 281 time(s) and currently has 80 hold request(s).
I am traveling a slow road this morning, maybe I will make it to work and maybe not, I might just get sidetracked along the way.
