Overheard/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?

“I think he’s going to go up in a puff of smoke on his own.”

“She’s got these beady little eyes, like a mole.”

“The starving artist expo.”

“Just take a few minutes everyday to look at his hair.”

“The pickle-faced one.”

“I thought retro haircuts meant mullets.”

“Is there a hipster-free zone?”

“She’s got the face of a 5-year-old on the chubby body of a 13-year-old.”

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 recently discovered the Dear Prudence columns in Slate Magazine (written by advice columnist Emily Yoffe). I’m a diehard fan of Carolyn Hax, but the Dear Prudence columns’ questions and answers are a whole other mix of weird that make me feel pretty good about my own life.

After watching American Horror Story:  Coven, I’ve become an even bigger fan of Stevie Nicks.

I haven’t lived in Door County during a summer yet so I have been mapping out my spring bike rides while simultaneously hoping that I’ll be able to embark on them by mid-April. Wishful thinking?
