Galloping ostrich brain

blog

I am alone in the office this week.  But don’t worry – being alone has never been reason for my brain to get bored.  Au contraire – being alone usually results in my brain galloping full-speed ahead, albeit awkwardly, kind of like that ostrich in “Swiss Family Robinson.”

So let me go ahead and tell you some of what has been on my mind today.

Mix up “congenial” and “jovial” and you get “convivial.”  Fantastic!

I may or may not (or may) have recently spent $800 on a variety of bridesmaid dresses from J.Crew.  Don’t worry – the losers will be returned post-haste – that is, unless I decide that I WANT a variety of taffeta gowns in Aluminum.

Waffles are just pancakes with topography.

There are few places on earth more soul-sucking than the Verizon Wireless store.

Please, Honda.  Please please please last forever.  I have no Plan B.

    waffles are just pancakes with topography. truth bomb.

    I like to think of them as pockets for my peanut butter.

    And for some reason the Swiss Family Robinson thinks that it’s a GREAT idea to ride the galloping ostrich.

    And the DMV is more soul-sucking than the Verizon Wireless store.

    Whoa there, Lady AP. Waffles deserve respect. Different batter = not the same! Just ask Alton.

    It’s an odd love, but I’m always wishing you the best and feel warmly at-home idly wandering in the stories you share. Go Annie!

    My name for my junior year honor society was Pamela “Conviviality” Talley. For real. It’s embroidered on a fleece jacket.

    Catching up here and curious – did the dresses arrive? Did you pick a winner? What won? So many questions.
