Overheards & Obessions

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 learn quick what not to say.”

“She’s like a unicorn You don’t find her unless she wants to be found.”

“That place scares me. I feel like it’s the type of store with stuffed squirrels.”

“You know you’re getting older when you don’t know how to do the new things, but you don’t even have an interest in learning how.”

“Now is the perfect time for crapping in the woods.”

“I don’t cheat. You cheat.”

“I don’t hate you. I think you’re disgusting, but I don’t hate you.”

“He is no Legolas. There is nothing elfin about Clay Matthews.”

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’m obsessed with the smell of Christmas trees. I love that fresh from the forest aroma and every image it conjures.” ~ Anonymous

“Stuffing is delicious. Every Thanksgiving I’m reminded how tasty it is, and I always tell myself that I should eat it more often. Then, I go another year without making it except for on the holiday. Not this year. I’m going to eat it all the time!” ~ Anonymous

“I, like every other good Wisconsinite, am obsessed with the Packers! 12-0 green and gold…go baby go!” ~ the future Mrs. Rodgers

“I’m obsessed with those red kettle bell ringers this time of year. I try and do a good deed and drop a dollar in each time I pass those folks out in the cold. It’s a nice reminder that a little effort goes a long way.” ~ Anonymous
