I know that one thing has absolutely nothing to do...
But it’s been pinging my brain every few hours this weekend that our minister and his wife lost their daughter in 2006 very suddenly to a rare heart condition.
It was a few days after her third birthday.
STOP THINKING SO MUCH, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH AN IRRATIONAL WAY.
“It builds up energy, or something, and it really really hurts!”
– Me, explaining why it hurt when she hit me with a cord in a whiplike motion. I should not have gone down the path of explaining something I had no idea how to finish
It was an ordinary day
Before it, was an ordinary week…and an ordinary month.
And then it wasn’t ordinary. It was suddenly sad.
All the ordinary stuff that led up to it seems like foreshadowing now.
And the ordinary days now feel like I’m counting up to some sort of unknown tragedy. What if this is the ordinary day before another tragic night? When I was going through my day, blissfully...

Frod!
My board at church is cosponsoring Elizabeth...
I’ve never read Eat, Pray, Love.
I have the following assumptions, based on nothing really.
She’s a privileged, whiny, white woman
It takes her fifteen minutes to order a sandwich.
How close am I?
Oh my gosh Becky
Look at my lymph nodes.
They are so big.
I would have been Jayson
Because my dad’s nickname was “Jay” and I would have been his son. Get it?

Lady Antebellum
That’s racist, right?
Is that a thing anybody’s talking about?
Their music is adequate, journeyman, innocuous, no-repeat-workday kind of music…but it was really their name that made me remove them from my Pandora.
smartasshat asked: Hi Amanda. I want to respond to your approval/cocaine post in a silly manner, as I am wont to do. I want to say something like "Give approval. Bitches love approval."

Wait, that Ambien thing was for real?
Approval is like cocaine
I need it all the time.
I'm very original posting a weather screen shot
About as original as people coming to the cici’s pizza buffet where I used to work and say “I’ll take the Jimmy Buffet”. One right after another.
