Miscellaneous Thoughts on a Fairly Typical Tuesday

1. Someone I consider a friend (a pretty good one at that!) looked directly at me and lied. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why. My initial reaction was to be offended, but then I though to myself "I've been there" - and the truth is it was probably more about them than me. Furthermore, it doesn't feel good to do things you can't be honest about. I hope they get that figured out soon.

2. If people are acting secretive, it's sketchy. It doesn't make people around them feel good. If something isn't someone's business, have the confidence to tell them. Don't act like a middle school moron.

3. Mashed cauliflower ain't so bad. You just can't tell yourself "it's practically the same as mashed potatoes" - just like fat free cheese doesn't taste like the real deal. Some "healthy alternatives" work, some don't. But it's not really fooling anyone.

4. There's nothing like a good laugh.

5. This weekend is my sister's birthday. We're going to brunch. How cool is brunch? The thing is - at most places, it's just mid-day breakfast. Does anyone order lunch food at brunch? Unless it's a buffet, I'm guessing the vast majority of people are really eating mid-day breakfast. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

6. I'm REALLY glad I didn't have a facebook page in high school. I can guarantee I would have posted some pretty stupid stuff. Not to say I don't post stupid stuff as an adult. But generally it's not emotionally charged, or an obvious dig at someone. A hormonal teenager can't be expected to maintain control ALL the time. Unfortunately, it's posted on the internet....

7. Words with friends is taking over my life! I apologize to everyone reading this that is currently playing against me. I'm not the most responsive - it's so much to keep up with! I'm trying, though, people!

8. I have to go to sleep now.
