Overheard and Obsessions

OVERHEARD

Are there tid-bits of conversations you’ve heard while standing in line at the grocery store, serving a table, or walking down the sidewalk that make you smile, cringe or laugh out loud?

“He was totally fine, but he was dancing. That should have been a clue.”

“If I had a boyfriend, I’d want him to be just like me. That way he could come over and we’d play Xbox, drink beer and crack each other’s backs.” – A guy’s perspective on dating men

“Well, nobody threw a tomato at my head so I think going places alone is an OK thing to do.”

“It’s not Christmas music or lesbian yodeling.” “Really? It sounds like both.”

“I’d say Christmas was a success – after all, nobody cried from getting turkey grease on their sock. That was a big problem last year.”

“Please stop plunging the kitchen sink so we can enjoy Christmas dinner!”

OBSESSIONS

Is there anything you can’t stop thinking about, listening to, watching, eating, or drinking? Obsessions are meant to be your of-the-moment fixation.

I just started watching Downton Abbey!

Oatmeal stouts and chocolate beers

Stash Tea Company’s chamomile tea with Kallas Honey Farm’s Orange Blossom honey. In all my tea-drinking days, I have never found a more delicious combination.

Taking off my boots and slipping on homemade knitted slippers.

Washing my hands repeatedly until this winter cold season snuffs out.
