I take my relationships, my health and my finances seriously. The list pretty much falls off from there. I am less tolerant of the Take Things Seriously Crowd these days. I used to find them amusing, now they annoy me.
I would, however, giggle uncontrollably over going to see "The Member." One time I saw a guy standing in Whole Foods, talking on his cell phone while trying to shop. He stopped, looked around, and announced to the aisle, "I can't find my nuts!"
I laughed about that for a week.
oh, susan--and now I'm laughing!
it's just not worth getting worked up about things you can't control. i really notice this when i travel --all the suits in the airport having these intense discussions -- and when i eavesdrop they seem to be about nothing....
These are things that I take seriously:
Racism
My child's hair
My husband's member.
This website.
Bravo (cyber-standing ovation)!
I take politics seriously. And snacks. Good ice cream. My hair. A solid internet connection.
The price of gas.
Did I mention my hair?
madge: these days when they're walking around with those earthingies, eavesdropping is no longer even an option.
aaryn b: thank you, m'am, and you'll see I've returned the favor
jennifer h: good ice cream, yes. my hair these days looks like shit. my internet connection is passable. politics? bleh, a pox on all their houses.
Jane, I came back to add another comment. I keep thinking about this post because -- if I'm really honest with myself -- my three things are what I *should* take seriously. But sometimes I let other stuff, unimportant stuff, creep up onto that list and crowd out what matters. So I'm putting my three things onto a post-it note above my computer as a reminder.
Thank you!
and if I had Jennifer H's hair, I would take it seriously too. That woman has some gorgeous hair.
