Change

I don't know when kids stopped learning how to do math.  It is amazing to me how many people can't give the correct change.  I laugh every time I go through a drivethru.  I can't wait to see what kind of change I'll get back.  And usually I try to give exact change or give extra so the change comes out in better increments.  What is the world coming to?

A Bump in the Night

Have you ever heard a strange noise in the middle of the night?  Something that's loud enough to wake you up.  The problem is you don't know what it was or where it came from.  Were you just dreaming?  No, you heard something.  You are too scared to get up and check it out, so you just lay there listening for every little thing.  What a creepy feeling.

Rainy Days

There's something about the time of year when the weather changes and the leaves begin to fall.  The days of fall showers are something special.  The cool rain signals a change that winter is coming.  Who knows how long it will be now that snow will be coming.  I like to be outdoors, but a nice rain all day is nice every once in a while.  The day is overcast and you can stay indoors all day and just take a breather.  The rain is nice every once in a while.

Cold Weather

I hate cold weather.  What's there to like?  You have to bundle up and wear more clothes.  Your skin gets dry all the time.  You can't go outside and do anything.  I wonder why I don't live in Arizona or something.  That's where I should go.  I better get used to it here.  We're looking at another 5-6 months of cold.  What a bummer.

Time

I always find it amazing how fast time goes by.  One thing you know you are in school and you can't wait get out.  Then you're done, married, and have kids.  Next thing you know, I'll be retired.  Well maybe not.  It's just hard to imagine how things go so quickly.  Tomorrow my kids will be married and out of the house and there will be grandkids running around.  What happens to the time?

Cold Water

I love the feeling of drinking a cold glass of ice water first thing in the morning.  You take a sip, wait a minute, and you can feel the cold going down your throat and into your belly.  I love it.  Does that make me weird?  I know I'm not the only one who knows what I'm talking about.  I hate coffee, but I assume people have the same feeling though. 

Strange Driving Phenomenon

Isn't it creepy when you've been on the road driving for a while and realize you don't know how you got there?  It's like our bodies turn into auto pilots.  We are on cruise control and don't realize what we're doing.  We are creatures of habit and things get ingrained on our brains.  It's no wonder that we have so many accidents.
