Today is even more gorgeous outside than it was yesterday. I had all intentions of going to my little cousins soccer game to enjoy the weather and hopefully see her score a goal (she's 9, it would've been cute). But the other team did not have enough team members show up, so they had to reschedule...and alas the day is lost doing laundry and watching a marathon of Crime and Punishment on MSNBC.
It's days like today when I wish I had a small yard of my own, I'd landscape the crap out of it and have it look like a page out of "Better Homes and Gardens". But I live in an apartment and the closest I can really get to that is putting a plant on my patio... it's not really as exciting as it may sound.
Anyway, you know how on some game shows and sports competitions they have the participant wear a helmet cam? I really want one. I think some of the moments and interactions in my life would be helmet cam worthy, then I could post them up somewhere so everyone could chuckle a bit to themselves or nervously laugh like, "Oh, I'm glad that didn't happen to me." Which brings me to funny observation of the day number 2 (yesterday). I went to the bank to put what little money I had in the bank so I could actually pay my car payment. I walk in the front door and this lady is absolutely going off on a teller. Loud and somewhat proud. Her teenage son was standing there next to her, nodding his head and sort of giving the teller what-for as well in his own little way. She was saying something about how the banks make money off their customers getting over-draft fees etc, etc. The teller stayed calm and printed up a transaction list for the family to look at because the son was saying he never used his bank card for anything. I overheard the teller say, "You have used the card at least four times at Applebees within the past week, and that's what has added to these fees." I, of course, "lol'd" in my head as the mom turned to her son and said, "Are you kidding me? Seriously?" The son, obviously embarassed and perturbed at this point, just said the teller was lying...His mother, took the transaction history from the teller, rolled it up and hit her son in the head with it and said, "Get it together boy!" At which point, I couldn't help myself and I allowed a smile and a snicker to escape my mouth. As McDonald's would say: "I'm lovin' it."
Funny observation number 1 of course goes to my grandma. She had made a turkey dinner for all of us to come over and sort of have a Thanksgiving Friday together. So the family was there, and my uncle is cutting the turkey and my grandma said, "Do you need a sharper spoon for that turkey?" My aunt and I exchanged a glance and proceeded to cackle with laughter. Oh grandmas... I love them too.
Until then. Keep your ear to the grindstone.
