Deep Thoughts from my Sick Bed to You

  1. Hairy siberian huskies are the funniest dogs ever, even when they do things they aren't supposed to - like climbing on the furniture while you are watching TV so they can BE.RIGHT.NEXT.TO.YOU.
  2. Gary Cooper was the hottest movie cowboy ever, and the best company a girl can have when she's laid up on the sofa with typhoid mary.
  3. Divorcing that dill hole was the best decision I ever made (she says after receiving yet another stupid text from the ignoramus).
  4. There are decisions we make in our lives that might either haunt us until we die, or give us great relief and freedom for the remainder of our days. I've made a couple that could have haunted me, but [thankfully] do not.
  5. M&M's Chocolate should be numbered among the ranks of our best friends.
  6. There are few things more beautiful than a good day of skiing. Picture it now: the crisp mountain air, the sun shining on your face, mastering something that is a challenge - aah. Reflecting upon the upcoming season will lift the spirits of the patient (and probably typhoid mary too) immensely.
  7. Even your favorite people will disappoint you once in awhile. Usually a really good cry makes it better, if only a little.
  8. Watching the screensaver slideshow on your laptop while convalescing will open your mind to things other than your present discomfort. For instance, I am reminded that Africa is the saddest, scariest place ever. It's also the happiest and most beautiful.
  9. Thanksgiving is the most under appreciated holiday ever created. To the vegetarians I know - I mock you on this day of deliciousness, and pledge to delight in several pieces of sumptuous turkey whether my stomach is ready for it or not. *please bless*
  10. There is almost nothing better than getting lost in a really great book. Want to forget about the daily grind? Grab a book. Looking to learn something new? Grab a book. Need to forget about the fact that chocolate might not act like your best friend whilst you are sick? Grab a book. And maybe a bucket.

Oooooh, I'm sorry! Sounds lame!

Um...you have a dill-hole ex that sends you text messages, too?

The list of our commanalities goes on.

Dill hole. Heh.

And I chuckled at your vegetarian jab. I'm going to force Court to at least eat gravy for the love of man.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

What book are you reading? I'm reading a goooood one.

Your dogs are pretty.

Let's have a real conversation. This one sucks.

Dill Hole is putting it lightly.

I like chocolate, but I too am sick and can't taste a damn thing. If I can't taste my turkey dinner tomorrow I may just cry.

I love that picture of the dog: I had a husky for a while and you are so right. You have me puzzled though, didn't you say divorcing that guy was the worst mistake you ever made a year ago?

Maybe time does show you things you never knew.

T.K. - OH LORD NO. I would never have said that. If you saw it here - it was a typo. PLEASE! Tell me where you saw it so I can fix it. :)

Susiee Q said...

Eh - I am around. Just living the dream, as they say!

Blogging is hard work. All of the ideas seeped out of my ear, along with the rest of my brain matter.

What's up with you?

Ironclad-IT said...

Same. Not much has changed. Still married, still fatter than I was 10years ago, Still working luckily). I hope you get some of that brain matter back. I enjoyed keeping up on your word vomit (I believe that's what you called it).
