I always thought a yard was three feet, then I started mowing the lawn.-C.E. Cowman

Thought while filling the rabbits watter bowl



I wonder if the hose was invented because some guy said, "I need a better way than buckets to transport watter." and then though, "You know what body part is excellent for squirting liquid?"

Friends are relatives you make for yourself.-Eustache Deschamps

This morning as I was getting Fiona in the car to go to daycare she was admiring my necklace. I told her it was a gift from a friend who had bought it in Ireland which is a long way away. Then it occurred to me that I haven't seen the friend in question in ten or more years.

As I drove in to work something they were talking about on the radio made me think of another friend. And again I was startled to realize I hadn't seen the friend in question in at least a decade.

I started to wonder what the statute of limitations is on friendship.

I have friends I don't see for years at a time but when I do see them it's as if no time has passed at all.

I have had friends who I lost touch with but eventually bumped in to again only to discover they didn't want to renew the friendship. Those hurt and make me wish I could continue remembering things as they were.

I have friends on line (many of you in fact) who I've never actually met in person but would love to if I had the chance.

I guess for me friends are people I like. Not meeting them for a long time (or in fact ever) doesn't stop that. And really good friends are family.

You know how when you're getting a massage and the end of the session comes you wish they'd just keep going?

I imagine that's what it's like to be a cat getting your ears scratched.

Passing Lane

Ya know how when you're walking down a sidewalk or hallway and you meet someone else going the other direction you instinctively move to the right? Do you think if you went to England or Australia or somewhere else where they drive on the left you'd wind up having sidewalk confusion.

Mental Self Preservation

While having a conversation with another Mom I realized there was a reason most people don't remember a time before they were potty trained. It would be to embarrassing to recall how much your Mom talked about your poo.
