look ma, no hands.

I just saw a man walking down the street with a cellphone velcroed to his head.    Seriously.  Two straps wrapped around his head, holding his phone.  And he was talking on it.  Which means that he constructed this contraption so that he could keep his hands free while on the phone.  Which means that at some point, he decided that buying a headset was more inconvenient than creating a velcro phone holder.

I don’t know what to do with this.

  1. the one red tulip in the flower bed filled with daffodils.
  2. the giant chalk heart drawn on the path that I take everyday.
  3. the seagull and the goose sharing a ray of sunlight on a cement pillar.
  4. the cool breeze through an open window on a hot day.
  5. the pretty light patterns my necklace creates on the desk when the sun hits it.

  1. randomly catching a ride to work with a friend on a day when I was very late, and making it to the office with three minutes to spare.
  2. how good I felt right up until I blacked out at work.
  3. getting in to see a doctor without having to wait.
  4. being told to nap for the rest of the day!
  5. doing my taxes and not owing any money!

  1. watching a movie on the couch with a friend, and both falling asleep because the conditions were perfect for napping.
  2. indulging in an afternoon of Leonard Cohen.
  3. having an important person in my life tell me that when she thinks about strong, independent, intelligent, talented woman, she thinks of me.
  4. eating the giant piece of chocolate cake I’d been thinking about all day.
  5. going to bed early because I want to and I can.
