All Things Odd And Silly

It’s weird to suddenly actually hear the lyrics of some songs that are favorites that I have listened to many times before.  This one wasn’t quite one of my favorites, but its lyrics stood out to me today.  It is such a lighthearted song but its lyrics are not, when thinking about the actual real American epidemic of troubled or former troubled students who become school shooters.  I guess I just don’t quite understand how to interpret the lyrics in a more lighthearted way.  I guess maybe dark art forms are a way to diffuse that which is negative into something less harmful and more cathartic.  Like expressing darker emotions through music without actually desiring for such things to be a reality.  I don’t know.  I’m in a thinking too much mode.   https://music.apple.com/us/album/pumped-up-kicks/435761204?i=435761212 I just found this article which happens to have this song as #18. https://www.buzzfeed.com/shelbyheinrich/catchy-songs-dark-lyrics

 I noticed that I bit my toast into the shape of an arrow.  I guess this is what happens when a person has spent years caring for babies and young children.  This kind of thinking becomes permanent. 😯 

 OK this is not odd or silly, but imagine if we had a President Harris.  Oh wait, we did have two of them.  William and Benjamin.  They were men, of course.  What if we had a female President Harris?  I don’t know why this thought showed up in my mind boasting of its importance.  I wish no I’ll toward President Biden.  It’s just that as a woman, I can’t help contemplating what an amazing thing it would be if our country had it’s first female president. And during my own lifetime no less.  This is not what is the most important presidential thing that I would wish to see during my lifetime though.  The most important thing that I wish to see is that our president will never again be Donald Trump.  Wow, it really is a man’s world.  Clever chaps.  At some point in time there will be a female president of the United States of America.  And when that happens, it will be amazing.  I am amazed that during my lifetime, I got to see our country have its first African-American president!

 I’m not sure why I needed this little Christmas door from Dollar Tree.  The only place that I can think to hang it is on a door and it would be really stupid to hang a door on a door. 🤦‍♀️ 😂 It’s so cute though. 😊🎄🚪 I guess there is no reason why a wall can’t be decorated with a door.  Next Christmas I will definitely hang my little door on a wall. 😁

 Sometimes I have like 500 stories jumping into my head.  The next time I am in the mood to hear like 500 stories, I am just going to listen and not even try to write anything down.  They will be gone but there will always be more stories. 

 “A Foxy Lady” was not my prompt for generating this image, but it was the thought that jumped into my head when I saw this image. 😂 It struck me as funny, I guess, because my sense of humor is rather stupid but I can make myself laugh anyway.

 I once took the time to cut up a bunch of old clothing that I was no longer keeping in order to save the fabric to be used as cleaning rags.  I’m now going to get rid of them because I have plenty of cleaning cloths that are actually made of better materials for cleaning.  Brilliant! 🙄

 This cracks me up no matter how many times I watch it! 😂 If he was purposely trying to be goofy, I would say he did better than he intended to. 😂 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1nNtiTqu-a/?igsh=aGRocWtkN21oZjNx

I always seem to glance up at my phone’s battery level and notice when I have 88% power remaining.  This happens all the time!  This does not consistently happen with any other number.  No, I do not think that this is a sign that I will die at age 88.  I don’t honestly know why I always seem to notice when my phone has 88% power remaining.  It is just one of life’s oddities.  I guess life probably holds unique oddities for all of us, and this just happens to be one of mine.  🤔  Wednesday March 27.  Today I took a screenshot. Here is another from March 31, Easter night. April 4 Ha ha.  I just logged onto my site to unpublished this post because it is stupid and I looked up and saw that I had 88% battery power remaining.  I’m really not sure if reality is often crazy or if it is just me, but this is my normal.  Monday April 8 A person could say that I am purposely watching and looking for the number 88.  This is completely untrue though. I always just happen to notice that I have 88% po

 It never ceases to amaze me when doing a decluttering of everything in my house, how many little random parts and pieces of things I find that are a complete mystery to me as to what they were a part of and what their purpose is.  How do we always manage to acquire such a plethora of mystery thing a ma jigs and thing a ma bobs?  I guess extra parts and pieces of things, that we keep but later can't identify, are just a fact of living busy lives and having too much to do, keep track of and remember.  #whatisthis

 I feel like Little Bo Peep but with a jar of peanut butter.  Somewhere between having my jar of peanut butter in my hand, and spreading it on my toast, I completely lost it.  I was jumping around and stopping to do various little things and now I seriously can’t find my jar of peanut butter  anywhere.  Oh well, I will just have to alter my lunch plan and wait for my peanut butter to reappear.  #apeanutbuttermystery Ah ha.  I put my peanut butter down on a shelf in my bedroom closet to do something else and then forgot where I left it.  The storing of peanut butter in my bedroom closet is a whole other story. 

 I was just remembering that when I was young, I watched annual reruns of “The Wizard Of Oz” and “Charlie And The Chocolate Factory” in black and white.  This was because they always seemed to air on occasions when we were at my grandmother’s house and she still had a black and white television.  I still always loved watching those movies despite the lack of color.  It does make me feel old though. 😂 At the same time I appreciate having experienced the world before it became an internet and digitally connected world. 😁 What a pivotal point to exist to experience one world and then see that world become a hugely transformed world in a relatively very short period of time!

 This definitely goes into the silly thoughts category.   A cake baking reflection: Any kind of cake recipe that calls for a gentle folding or just enough mixing of batter would be a recipe for failure for me because I am such a “more is better” and “leave no lumps unmixed” kind of person.  Oh how could my own personally treasured values be a recipe for some cakes to not achieve their full culinary potential? 😩  I guess I should just stick with eating cakes and not baking them. 😅 #jumbledcakenotions 🫨 #incakeland 🍰 

 I love that when I can’t remember what something in my drawer is, I can take a picture of it with the Amazon shopping app, and then find out what it is.  So what is this?  It’s a wine bottle foil cutter. 🍷 One can only imagine what amazing things technology will make possible in the future. 😂
