Moments Running in my Head

I have the oddest thoughts at the oddest time…and lately it’s like absurdity in my life has doubled. And I can’t help but chuckle at it (or cry about it, cause if the mood strikes, the tears will flow).

First Odd Thing:
Last night if you had told me to explain myself based on 2 things, and 2 things only, I would have said: I bake and I don’t pack lightly. (First off, what was wrong with me last night…baking and packing?? So pretty much I have no idea what goes on in my head but alas, apparently images of cakes and overstuffed luggage reign supreme).

Second Odd Moment:
I take stories far to, well pretty much I internalize fiction. So I read this book, great book till the end when the woman dies of cancer. Then I’m watching a movie tonight and a woman undergoes massive surgery due to cancer. And all I could think of was, I scoff whenever people are like “ooo, that can lead to cancer.” Because all of the sudden I had this mental picture of being (this will sound pathetic)…but sick and alone.

Now, just to clarify, it wasn’t like I was alone cause I was an old conservative cat lady that conservative boys wouldn’t date because I work for the “progressives,” nope…it was like in a moment of running away, I ran away from the world. So yes, my second odd moment was about death

Third Odd Moment:
I was cleaning my apartment because I am having company over on Saturday, and I definitely hid all of the copies of People Magazine, US Weekly and Entertainment Weekly…only it was totally a subconscious decision cause I did it without thinking while I was on the phone with my mother. I believe the conversation went something like:

Me: Oh my Gosh! I’m so one of them!
Mom: One of who?
Me: One of the people they talk about on Stuff White People Like!!
Mom: What??
Me: Remember that blog I read you, they had this dinner party post…
Mom: You read me that one
Me: Did I?? Well remember the part about one stray “bad” magazine and you fail…
Mom: Yes, what about it?
Me: I was trying to rearrange all the magazines in the basket, and I put all the People Magazine, US Weekly and Entertainment Weekly in a stack in the closet and let out Vanity Fair and InStyle.
Mom: Yeah, you’re one of them.
Me: But the real question…should I hide the InStyle too??

The question still remains
