Head in the clouds...

Sometimes I wonder if I've loved enough and lived enough.  I worry that I spend so much time with my head in the clouds that I miss the important stuff on the ground.  There are moments when I realize that living life to its fullest and nurturing friendships and even family relationships, has become another thing in the back of my mind that I plan to get to eventually.  Things like putting my financial house in order, cleaning out the pantry, getting a tire pump for my bike, opening all the unopened mail I've accumulated over the course of several months. 

I don't want that to happen.

Tonight I think I'll call my cousin Sandra and my mother, go for a ride to the park on my bike before dark, enjoy something tasty for dinner.  And, most of all, try to remember how lucky I am to be alive and how short sighted and selfish it would be of me to not look forward to tomorrow.

What has made me ponder my life so much today, you ask?  This:

I said to myself, "It's so big..."

Have you ever heard of the Muffin Monster?  No?  Then let me tell you....

It's an old Mexijewish wives' tale.  It is said that it stalks it's victims at lunch time.  Once it finds a weak link, it pounces and smothers the hapless victim with its chocolate icing of death.  Within a few seconds it's all over.

There has never been any concrete evidence of the Muffin Monster's existence...until NOW!!

Behold!

Oh the humanity!  It's as if it happened yesterday.  But, it actually happened today.  There was nothing I could do for the victim.  May she rest in sugar and carb laden peace.  May this freak of pastry nature meet its end within my lifetime.  Until then, beware, and use protection:

I'm just saying...

Why are people so freakin' ungrateful?  What is the classiest thing you can do when you're scheduled to receive free stuff that you really need?  Well, you complain about how ridiculous the organization that's helping you is because you're not attended to right away of course.  Dealing with people who have an offensive sense of entitlement is not something new.  I can usually take in stride.  But, today is just a little bit hectic and my patience is running thin...2 1/2 hours to go.
