The kind of mind I have.

      Tonight, I wanna talk a little bit about me and how my brain works.  Now some of you spend a fair amount of time with me and understand what I'm all about, some of you may not.  Friends please excuse down a bit while I try to explain in a nutshell as best I can.  I am basically child like.  I'm not a child; quite the opposite.  I'm very responsible, independent, and on occasion; serious.  However, my brain seems to work in a child like fashion.
      So for your entertainment, I'll post various examples of how this works.  This are all serious examples of my real, everyday life and how it affects me and, on most occasions; my staff, boss, husband and friends.


  • I work in a retail store that has huge windows as our store front.  One slow day at work, my boss went on her lunch, leaving me out on the floor TOTALLY ALONE.  As I stood there in my quiet store, my brain wanders as it tends to every fifteen seconds.  And literally, I just wondered what I would do, if dinosaurs still existed.  No but seriously, what would we do?  Just think for a second.  Would it be a Jurassic Park type situation?  Would there be sirens to alert us? Would bomb shelters be an ordinary thing to have?  So ok, stay with me.  I know this is totally weird, but it's about to get weirder.  After I thought this amazingly weird thought, I went home feeling quite..strange.  So I of course immediately told my husband.  He confessed to thinking the EXACT SAME THING.  That's how you know you've found your soul mate people.  And of course that you're really just a ten year old with responsibilities.
  • I watch cartoons daily.  I usually wake up to Spongebob, but Team UmiZoomi is my favorite.  Especially the end when the do the crazy shake.  
  • I can honestly say my DVR is set to record Adventure Time.  I will also admit that I have watched episodes multiple times to catch a glimpse of the waving snail.  I also think it's socially acceptable to yell hi and wave back to it.  Like I don't know he can't really see me.  
  • I play video games.  I get that girls can play video games, but I love LEGO video games.  I find them amusing.  I like flying around as Lego Wonderwoman, or defeating Lego Lord Voldemort.  I get a thrill out of finding the huge Lego ring.  Also, I am a very sore loser.  I've broken controllers and I'm surprised Clay married me after I committed this crime.  
  • I have, on more than one occasion, expressed the need to do laundry because I have no more acceptable adult clothing.    Allow me to explain.  I own multiple shirts that have Mario, Thor, dinosause, disney princesses, Star Wars scenes, Harry Potter references and other ridiculous sayings and things on them.  I mostly look like a child playing dress up. 
  • I highly enjoy kids movies.  One time on a double date, we saw a cartoon movie and were the oldest people in the theater without children.  We may have looked a little creepy.  I also ensure that we own a fair amount of disney movies.  
  • My favorite past time is building forts.  Admittedly, my husband is way better at the actual construction of the fort than I am.  However, I enjoy a great time in the fort.  I take pillows, snacks and my puppy in there with me.  I will also create a facebook event for said night and somehow create and incorporate the term fort into in.  
  • I had a legitimate discussion yesterday with my husband today about buying supplies for my 26th birthday party . It's Star Wars themed.  I plan on wearing my Princess Leia hoodie and carrying a lightsaber.  Last years was Harry Potter.  
            Hopefully this wasn't too weird for you guys.  It was brought to my attention today that I'm super positive and "fun."  I pointed out that I'm not the annoying "life is beautiful" positive (although I truly believe it to be), rather I approach things with a child like mind.  I do worry about the future I'll leave for my children and current topics.  I just genuinely approach the problems the way a young person would.  In a "why can't we all just love each other and eat cookies and drink juice" kind of manner.  Who knows, maybe a good nights sleep, some love and a delicious snack is all we really need to get along ok in life.
