I am a completed thought...
ode to siblings
It's weird how after high school, Jos and I both ended up at Irvine, and then now she only lives like 2 miles away, and yet we still don't see as much of each other as most people would think we do. Mostly, we just catch each other in passing, when she picks up London from the house, or I'll be leaving right when she gets there, or things like that. I don't visit her as often as I'd like to, and we definitely don't get to talk as much. It's not like we're totally distant, but I just kinda think it's weird that we barely see each other and have a heart-to-heart, being as close as we are. One of those things one just takes for granted sometimes, I guess. Which is why we actually went out to dinner earlier this week. It was nice catching up w/ her, finding out what's goin on in her life, and telling her what's going on in mine. It's funny because we both were trying to figure out a way to let the people in the restaurant know we weren't a couple...so she wanted a side of mushrooms or something and I was like, "Excuse, me, sorry to bother you, my sister would like to know if you have any dishes with mushrooms available." It was probably obvious what we were trying to do, but at least they got the message. So it was a good time. But man, now that I think about it...it's sad that our schedules are so tied up with this and that so much that we dont' really get to see each other much anymore. What more when I have a family of my own? Hangouts will become even more rare...but alas, c'est la vie. Que sera sera. If I've learned anything throughout my brief 27 years on this planet so far, it's that the things that matter most will endure any weather...
Ode to rings
I've noticed that a lot of people at work do not wear their wedding rings. I used to think some people were not even married, but then I'd hear them talk about their wife and kids and stuff like that, and I'm thinkin to myself, "Where's their wedding ring?" And I don't think their divorced or anything like that. Weird. Maybe some people don't wanna wear it at all because they're hiding it and don't want people to know they're married or maybe they outgrew it. I know pop didn't wear his ring for a long time because his fingers outgrew his ring. But after his stroke, he lost about 30-40 pounds and he wears it all the time now. But I guess you can tell if some people are trying to hide it, and that's kinda shady. Me no like that.
Ode to the miracle that is the telephone
Gotta be one of the world's inventions. Which leads to...one of the world's best services....phone ordering. Saves sooooooo much time man. At work, there's a group of us that do a Jamba Juice rotation run thingy each week, and after a long long hiatus, it was my turn to get Jamba for everyone. I had tried to leave earlier that morning to allow for ample time to get the Jamba, but as always, I ended up leaving a little later than I had planned. So I called the closest Jamba that was on my way to work, well it wasn't really ON my way to work...it was more on the way and off to the west...anyway, so like I said, I called them and asked exactly where they were and while I was talking to the Jamba lady, it occurred to me... I ask, "Excuse me, do you take phone orders?" And she goes, "Oh yeah, let me transfer you to the phone order person." SCORE! I was able to phone my order in and be in and out of Jamba in less than 5 minutes. It was so efficient that I actually got into work 5 minutes early! Man oh man...thank you Phone Gods...
Hard to believe that it's Friday already...woohoo!
Happy Trails!
