Anyone ever heard that annoying (but yeah.. funny) ringtone? Well, that’s a pretty apt description of how I feel about my thoughts sometimes… I’m not making the naive assertion that ALL thoughts, observations or opinions should be expressed, but sometimes… my thoughts feel like that ringtone…LET ME OUT!!! Kind of like today so here are a few in no particular order…just hodge podge, piggly wiggly wild.. like they are in my cabeza…
Met a young woman the other day who’s apartment is cooled by a box fan…(mind you it’s 95 degrees)… she’s trying to get into culinary school. Taught me a lesson in gratitude & made me angry over socio-economic injustices, diploma mills & greed. Also made me thankful for prayer…
I hate pride…the pride that makes me race the guy trying to pass me in my beat up car & the pride that makes the guy think he can beat me!! 
If I could only learn to love past 5 ft 3 inches…
I once read as a definition for KINDNESS : “sympathetic patience”… Sometimes I like to take a moment & meditate on how that describes God…Wow, blows my mind! God is soooo kind…
It’s funny… I’m often accused of speaking too formally by my peers… and when my ”professional” contemporaries find out I lack their degreed status…they either think I’m trying to impress them OR I hear them trying to “dumb down” our conversations. I wish both ends of the spectrum would “GIVE ME A BREAK”!
Chocolate….more insidious,tempting & addictive than crack! In my house anyway…
I’m going to miss not having red hair when it goes gray….just don’t let me hold on too tight… Nothing worse than an old lady with “bad red dye” !
That reminds me…(don’t ask why) I hate it when I think an old man is being attentive because I’m imagining he thinks of me as a daughter or granddaughter only to find out…’THAT’S NOT WHAT THE OLD FARTS THINKING!!!! Happens all the time!!!
Why do I always say…”When I win the lotto” when I don’t even play?
Ok, this is probablly weird, but I love that cold chill you get after cooling down after a good workout…so cold you almost need a sweater…LOVE IT!
Best smells in the world….the top of a baby’s head, rain heading in & knowing things might cool down, coffee, fresh bedding & Friday’s…yes friday’s even “smell different”…
Hello…I’m Sheila…(hello Sheila) I’m a magazineaholic…. whew, first step…
Ok, time to get on with the day…wonder what it will be like? I know it will be filled with new mercies for which I am truly thankful…
Shelia,
Love your blog…some of your random thoughts today are the same as mine LOL! Don’t worry about losing your red hair…you can find a good colorist! I am bald right now from chemo, was bald ten years before from cancer too! I have decided this time that whatever color it comes back in as, is the color it will be….no more money spent on coloring and root touch ups….just will be natural for now….we will see how long that lasts, but that is the plan for now!
I love reading your posts..hope we can meet one day in person…have a great day!

Hi, I love your blog. My brain never switches off either. I think I think myself around the twist. x
