4am crazies

by Patricia on March 18, 2008 · 0 comments

Somehow my brain thinks 4am is a decent time to wake up. My body disagrees wholeheartedly. And yet here I am pushed into the conscious world long before I was ready because something inside my head was whirring so much it spun out of control and woke me up. Ah yes, good times. I’m not even sure what it is that is supposed to be on my mind at the moment. My brain has not been kind enough to share that. So here I am at 5:40am drunk from lack of sleep writing a blog post because I just got caught up on reading all of my blog subscriptions and felt guilt over the neglect to my own writing. I should be thinking about something important since that’s the only acceptable reason for waking up at 4am, but instead I am contemplating breakfast. My groggy eyes are focused blurrily on the too bright laptop screen. It is not as though I did not try going back to sleep, but it moved and didn’t leave a forwarding address…

minty karma

by Patricia on March 1, 2008 · 0 comments

A couple of friends and I were in the lift line at Heavenly on Saturday. It was a windy day so there were only a few lifts open which meant that the lines were long… very long. It was like we were at Disneyworld. It was a long line but we were managing to avoid the grumblies that would usually evoke. It was a beautiful day and we were happy to be outside enjoying it. Anyway, the guy in front of us in line pulled out a roll of thin mints and ate one. Then for no reason at all he offered them to us. We had not spoken to him or his friends. There had been no commiserating over being at the back of the line even. So the first contact and really only contact was the offer of the thin mints. We gladly accepted the chocolatey treat and I savored each bite of my minty treat. I couldn’t help thinking that that guy won a bunch of good karma points that day.
