Well, yesterday turned out to be rather uneventful. The temps hovered in the low 40s (F), and the skies were mostly overcast.
Otherwise, not much happened. Which is fine, I suppose. Though there are those who feel they need to be busy all day long. Or, as my mom used to say, they feel that they need to be constantly entertained. It really has nothing to do with being busy, because I'm certain there are all sorts of things these people could do to help them pass the time. Nope, mostly they need to have fun, and for most of them fun means doing something that makes them happy. Interestingly enough, one man's fun can be another man's torture. Taking shopping, for instance. There are those who can spend the entire day browsing away in specialty shops, and are happier than pigs in shit... well, they'll probably say that's not a very good comparison; truth has many faces. Or they love shopping for clothing. I have a friend who will spend the day going from, trying on this dress, or that ensemble, with absolutely no intention on buying, simply because she loves seeing herself in the mirror wearing something she can't afford gives her great joy. Not for me. I only go shopping when I need something, and it's never for what some might call decor, or clothing. I can't picture myself in this shirt, or that sweater, and I never wonder if those jeans are going to make my ass look fat. All I look for is getting something that fits, since I don't really care if my ass looks fat or not... and in case you're wondering, it usually doesn't.
One of the things I did do yesterday was bake coconut macaroons. And then I drizzled them with white chocolate. Hhhmnm, so very tasty!
My good friend the Dame that I talk about on my blog all the time, and the one that owns the floral shop, is one of those people. Even when he has a day off all he ever does is constantly out doing something cuz he can't sit still, and then yet complains he never has a day to himself. I said... have you ever tried just sitting home doing nothing but watching TV?
ReplyDeleteSome people avoid that because it gives them time to think.
DeleteI used to like shopping. These days most of the good stores are closed.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember ever liking it.
DeleteI used to like shopping with my daughter when we had money to spend. I've lost interest in shopping now that she's grown up and gone. If I need something, I usually order it online. I'm pleased that trump isn't on the ballot in Colorado, but it doesn't mean much. It won't keep him from being elected.

Don't worry, he isn't going to get elected, but he will create real havoc up until the election and a long time afterwards.
DeleteI used to enjoy clothes shopping when I was younger and had the body for it. Now not so much for obvious reasons!
ReplyDeleteMy shopping style: Walk into department store; think - I should buy a polo shirt; 2 minutes later: that one's nice; walk out of department store.
