Hold On...For One More Day (Things Will Go Your Way)


Now - today's mood is partly sunny, with a hint of drizzle. Thus, let's do a contrast list to yesterday's.

Things I do not like to do, but highly respect and enjoy when others do.

1. Wear a beret and carry a satchel - It is very rare to catch this extraordinary combo...especially in its natural habitat - but when I do! Lordy, Lordy!
2. Tell a joke (dirty, clean, corny, political, elementary) - This feat, I will admit, I try often. Then die a little inside every time afterward. Yet, when someone else tells a joke (dirty, clean, corny, political, elementary, Laffy Taffy) my ears and heart grow a little tingly with aspiration...in hopes that "maybe I can remember this one."
3. Talk businessy - Facts and figures, sir. Numbers. I will never coexist with a pie chart. But for those that do - not to mention "the bottom line" whew...impressive.
4. Order wine at a restaurant - Don't get me wrong - I've tee-tottled my way around a room plenty, but to read a wine list and order with a serious face??? Forget it.

I have a sttttrrronnng feeling this isn't the end of this list.

I can not tell a dirty joke if my life depended on it....It is my mother's fault.
