Why Is It ...

… that, based on the amount of laundry I do every week, I starting to think there are people living here that I haven’t met yet.

… that we all have that one friend that  you need to tell “be nice” before introducing them to anyone new; and, yeah, I’m that friend who needs to be told.

… that if we’re only talking about looks I think I’m a good 7, but if you factor in sense of humor, personality and values I’m a decent 2.

… that when someone says to me, “I never see you around” I respond with, “I know, I make sure of it.”

… that friends need to know that if I don’t text back it’s because they didn’t say anything interesting.

… that I have only just realized that one aspect of adulthood is the rage I feel when they rearrange my grocery store.

… that some people will text me at 2AM asking what I’m doing , and I respond “I’m outside negotiating a peace treaty with a racoon.”

    🤨🛒 My favorite grocery also rearranged recently and I had to reset all my muscle memory to grab at the correct things as I speed down the aisles. But, I couldn't really rage 'cause they did the rearrange so the aisles could be wider! Heaven! 🫶👏

    1. Well, I would overlook the change is the aisles were wider ... I think.

  6. -Holy sweet baby Jeebus. I thought I was the only one that negotiated with racoons and possums for that matter at 2am. I gave up on the cats. I just throw water on them now.
    -Also I'm the one you have to tell, "be nice and don't bite."
    -Not to mention, good looks I'm an 8. Add in warped morals and values, silent but deadly humor and personality that brings me to a -19. Then factor in my awesome sadistic sarcasm and I'm a solid - 666.

  7. "Be nice" is also what I say to Olga when we see another dog coming toward us on the sidewalk. She almost always is.

  8. … that when someone says to me, “I never see you around” I respond with, “I know, I make sure of it.”
    SG said just about that when we had to go to the American consulate in our old town to renew our passports. The woman who worked there was rude and difficult (I’m being excruciatingly polite) and she said we should have been there to register years earlier. “I’ve never found you in town.” And he icily replied, “We don’t want to be found.”

  9. I was reading this out loud to my daughter, and we both finished your sentence about the rage we feel when stores are rearranged. AND why aren't all Walmart stores laid out in the same pattern?
    I bet you'd be more likely to make a peace treaty with a raccoon, than the knucklehead in the White House brokering a peace treaty with anyone.

  11. Have you been window peeking? Last night I really was negotiating with a raccoon to get out of my yard.

    BTW Sugar, mark your dance card - Miss Ross is performing at Stern Grove this summer. Thought of you when I saw it on the program.

  13. For the last one you could say, "I am just lying here wide awake - wondering if I will be able to get back to sleep after being woken by your ****ing text message!"
