What happens when I accumulate a bunch of stuff that is not long enough for its own post.

I wrote Ricky Anderson’s resignation letter. I think he asked me to write it since I didn’t get to write my own. Ricky is so nice. He even put me on his blogging All Star team a while back which I am still pretty sure he did out of pity because I was unemployed. Our team ended up getting destroyed and that actually caused me to sink even deeper into depression. But that is ok, I know Ricky’s heart was in the right place.

I think I may have discovered my newest superpower: winning medium fries from the McDonald’s Monopoly game. I’m like 4 for 4. I don’t usually go to McDonalds that often, but when I am on a winning streak like this it is hard to say no. I use my free fries to get more free fries. It’s like free money except in fried fries. Which wouldn’t be a bad currency system if you think about. I think I just discovered one more inefficiency of our government. The one side effect that comes with my newest superpower assures that I will not be wearing any spandex crime fighting suits. So while the malcontents of the world may not have anything to fear, potatoes most certainly do.

Speaking of government inefficiencies, I saw this when pulling out of my driveway the other day:


Lady clothes are complicated. I was folding clothes this weekend and realized LB has clothing that I am not even sure which half of the body it goes on.

I was watching cartoons with Ada and there was a talking bear telling his friends, a talking raccoon and a chicken playing the maracas, that he saw a mermaid and they didn’t believe him. They said it was impossible. A maraca playing chicken said it is was impossible. That's all.

The other night I had a dream where I was teaching rappers how to pose for their album covers. For the record, this was a dream that you have at night while you are sleeping and not a lifelong aspiration. Not yet, anyway.

I’ll end with one of my most recent favorite Ada conversations:

Ada: So, you are taking me to the park tomorrow, right?
Me: No, we go on Saturday.
Ada: That is tomorrow though, right?
Me: No tomorrow is Thursday.
Ada: So the next day?
Me: No, that is Friday.
Ada: I don’t get it.
Me: In 3 days I will take you to the park. Not tomorrow and not the…
Ada: Just give it up, daddy.
Me: Are you sure?
Ada: Yeah, from now on just tell me right before we are about to go to the park, ok?

When I got home, Sprinkles' body was in the freezer where Dwight said he left her, but all my bags of frozen french fries had been clawed to shreds.

I'm pretty sure you've got it going on. I'd ppost a scripture to encourage you, but it'd probably have the adverse affect, since that's what happens when I try to encourage people.

I'm also pretty sure I'd love to follow you around for a day. Thse random thoughts are great.

I am encouraged by you simply leaving a comment. Thanks Rick!

I always love the Ada conversations! Y'all have got to post those more often, too funny!

Ricky Anderson said...

Scott, we've been over this before...I picked you about 6 weeks before you got laid off.

And the resignation letter was epic - thanks again!

Lady clothes are indeed complicated. Thankfully, baby clothes are not. Small, yes. Complicated, no.

I wish they made outfits like that for adults.

Oh, wait, they do. My grandpa still wears jumpsuits.

He's 91 and doesn't do much jumping.

With my son we have tomorrow, tomorrow-tomorrow, tomorrow-tomorrow-tomorrow, etc.

LB said...

okay, this post makes it sound like I wear really strange clothes, and I don't. What's complicated about pants and shirts?

The Ada conversation made me laugh out loud or LOL. I can just hear her saying it.

Scott said...

Lindz, I've devoted a whole section in my moleskin for Ada Conversations. They will start showing up more often.

Ricky, I know, I know but the fact that I am on a blogging all star list is a little crazy. I had to come up with a resolution

SG, we have those moments too. They usually end in screaming.

LB, thank you for gracing my comments section with your presence. Its to have someone here with such complicating clothing.

I laughed, then laughed some more, then nodded in agreement, and then more laughter. Great Scott! (Said in Micahel Scott's "trying to sound like Sean Connery at the end of his Faces of Scranton video" voice.
