So Wednesday I never wrote my blog post till after 6:30 at night and I sat at the computer and wrote it off the cuff, and I got eight likes. Can I get away with it again today? I sure hope so.
In my defense (guess I can’t get away with using that in the headline twice, can I?), it is Lame Post Friday. And I was still studying my lines from the play. I came up with some half-baked philosophy while I was at work. If only I could remember any of it.
Here is a random observation: I saw a little dog pee on one of those blow-up Halloween decorations. It was a great big old spider with four giant purple and black legs creating an arch with its body. The arch was right over the people’s front walk, but they had caution tape around it so apparently nobody was supposed to walk underneath the arch. As Steven and I drove by it tonight, their cute little dog walked right up to and lifted his leg.
“That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in several weeks,” I said.
Actually, I made myself laugh at work today. Bill was looking for Ed, but I had not seen him.
“He did not share with me his plans,” I said, because, you know, that’s how I talk sometimes.
Then Ed came back and asked where Bill was.
“He’s looking for you,” I said. “And I said, ‘How the hell do I know where Ed is? He goes where he wants to go! He don’t tell me nuthin’!'”
“Well, where’s Jeff?” Jeff is the boss.
“How the hell do I know where Jeff is? He goes where he wants to go! He don’t tell me nuthin’!”
“Where’s Hal?” He only asked because he knew where this was going.
After I wrote the preceding, I went back and changed all the names, to protect the innocent. In fact, my name is now Evelyn (cue the jokes on whether or not I’m innocent).
I note with some satisfaction that I am over 300 words. A lame post? Assuredly, but it is Friday after all. Amusing? Well, it amused me, so at least one of us is happy. Hope to see you Saturday.
