Wednesday Hodgepodge - At The End of Day
Nonsense: "It goes without saying." Every time someone says something goes without saying, they say it anyways. Am I right? Another one that I think is nonsense would be "ignorance is bliss". It's really not. The title I gave this Hodgepodge, "at the end of the day", is one my family has complained about, along with "it is what it is".
Truth: "What goes around comes around" I don't believe in karma as an actual spiritual force or anything like that, but I have observed that the way we treat others and the attitudes we have will affect how others treat us. If you gossip a lot, don't be surprised to find out you're the subject of gossip, or that no one trusts you. If you're known for canceling or backing out of plans at the last minute, don't be surprised when you're not invited or included in the planning any more. Things like that.
Not counting fingernails, because I break those a lot but don't recall specifics . . . I think the last thing I broke was the frame of my sunglasses. I'd been needing a new pair for a long time because the lenses had that almost permanent foggy quality, but I kept putting it off. I always push my sunglasses and reading glasses up on my head sort of like a headband, and finally one day as I did that with my sunglasses I felt something kind of give, and sure enough when I took them off there was a little piece on the bottom of the frame that was cracked. I glued them so they would hopefully last until the new pair arrived (and I ordered the new ones immediately!), and was really careful, but about a week later the cracked piece fell out completely. Thankfully the new sunglasses arrived a couple of days later.
They aren't my favorite thing ever, but I like them. I love toasted marshmallows and like them with graham crackers, but I'm not a fan of milk chocolate. Plus I find them a bit dry. I much prefer to just eat the toasted marshmallow! I don't think I've had one this summer.
Last night I had some ice cream for dessert after dinner and it was so good, I wished I could let myself eat more! Probably a good thing it was the last serving in the tub or I might have indulged in another scoop!
I've never been in a helicopter or a hot air balloon. The thought of going up in a balloon is terrifying to me, but my husband has often said he'd like to do it. I have no intentions of planning a hot air balloon ride, but it's something that my husband would probably be able to talk me into if he tried. (I hope he doesn't read this! I'm not ready!)
Most definitely the family vacation we enjoyed last week! We had the whole family together for the weekend at a nearby vacation home and had so much fun! Our oldest son and his family could only stay for the weekend, but the rest of us were together for a couple days longer. We packed a lot into the time we were all there, and hopefully will make a group vacation like that an annual event.
