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?

“You have to find your inner cahonas.”

“Somebody took the cherry cordial. Good for them!”

“I took a bite of it and just started screaming because it’s oozy, ya know?”

“You just earned the nickname ‘Booger.’”

“Lumbersexual.”

“Not my chicken, not my problem.”

“This proves that he really is a gorilla.”

“That jumper seat he put up in the living room really isn’t for the baby, is it?”

“Did George Clooney ever NOT have gray hair?”

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.

Now that we’re gaining daylight on both ends of the day, I’m a bit obsessed with watching winter sunsets on my drive home from work.

During my recent obsessive quest to find new ways to enjoy cocoa, I came upon an article on seriouseats.com: “7 Ways To Spike Your Hot Chocolate.”
