Putting It In Perspective, In This, My 200th Post (or is it 201?)
There are worst things in life than someone saying "no:"
outgrowing spoons shaped like airplanes; the last scoop of coffee during an ice storm; hangnails; coloring inside all of the lines; dog-hair tumbleweeds; a yeast infection; library fines for a book you returned, two months ago; dirty water filters; thongs; the commuter jet stalling--twice--on the runway; asparagus-barley soup (yecchhh); balsamic vinegar stains on a white tee-shirt; flat soda; a Miniature Pinscher eating your memorabilia; presentations; the click of a mouse's toenails across hardwood floor; dead authors; the end of the book; the end of the line; someone saying "yes;" and
not asking.

Oh the seeming randomness of this list had me chuckling ~ for some reason the simple phrase 'a yeast infection' had me spluttering out!
And yes, 'not asking' that's the worst of all ~ great point, well made :-)
Congratulations, Cate, on your milestone whether it's 200 or 201!!!
Congrats on your 200th post! (Or your 201st.)
And yes, I'd agree with almost everything on your list. (I only say "almost" because I'm curious about asparagus barley soup...heh)
Happy 200 and white shirts? I only buy the cheap-o's because the balsamic vinegar ALWAYS ends up on me.
Happy 200th...profound as always. Especially the point that sometimes, someone saying yes is worse than no, and that not asking is the worst of all.
I'll have to remember that.
Hi- saw your comment on another blog for Sun. Scribblings,(I think "Greenish Lady") so clicked over here. ~~~***Congrats***~~~ on your 200th/201st post!
Thongs and "not asking" oh yes, or No, or you know what I mean ;)
Now I'm going to look around; your site looks interesting.
You have an extraordinary way of writing about the ordinary my dear. Congrats on your 200th post. I can't wait to read the next 200!
BFF,
a.
Congrats on 200 or is it 201?
Oh, what? You don't enjoy a good yeast infection? No likey the itchy itchy? What's wrong with YOU?
:)
Congrats on your 200+ posts. Yeast infections and thongs--I agree 100 percent.
This is a fantastic list and I love that it ends with "not asking".
Thanks, everyone, for the comments! I loved reading them. xo
This list is great -- spontaneous and playful and suddenly serious with the last one. I really enjoyed it, thanks. :)
...goodbye and thongs for all the fish...
Ok, so it's a very very bad double pun!! Sue me, hehehe!
How did I miss this the other day?
I just love coming here for the moving word tricks, every time I read I see something new, even if I've read it before.
Wow. It's 3:34am here and I just found out you came back from that summer holiday of last year.
I'm still about, trying to write something that's humour stems from its humanity and trying to get Iris happy with Hazel having started school.
I'll be catching up with you when I can, but for now, I really must get to bed.
