Several months ago, my family and I took a trip to the zoo for the three little ones. (But let's be honest, we all like the zoo.) By the gorilla enclosure sits a statue of a gorilla. We gathered around it to take a family photo - Don't ask me why, it seemed like a good idea at the time. We posed, snapped, and started to walk to the train. About 200 yards away from the statue, all of us laughing and talking, someone said "Where's Sam?" "I thought you had him" "Is he back there?" "No, that's Ava." Mind you with eight adults, it's easy to assume someone else has the kid. You know what happens when you assume... So a few of us retraced our steps to the gorilla, and there Sam stood. He was contentedly watching the next family taking photos around the gorilla. (I wonder if they realized what I did months later, after looking at the photo.) Good boy, he's shy enough to not just cling to someone else, but not shy enough to feel no shame in watching other people.
So, Sam is still apart of this family.
And we have a photo of us gathered around a gorilla.
Either way you look at it driving at 40 mph and filing your nails, or your nail file grinding at 40 mph, it's just not a very good idea.
As young adults, there is so much expected of us. There are days where you have to multi-task things that really shouldn't be done at the same time; Like filing your nails while driving. I'm a believer in enjoying everything you do and never doing anything simply because you think you "should." But this doesn't apply if you're a slacker. Being lazy is lame.

Story.
When one is bored at work, and another is bored at work, and there are phones and texts, here is what you get:
Once upon a time there was a rabbit. He had a nice home with a wife and 500 children (you fill in the next line.)
One of the baby rabbits decided he would venture out into the great unknown to find adventure. His name was...
Steve. This rabbit's love of music called him into the world. The rest of his family disapproved of his nonsense waving and yelling at the girls calling them...
Funny Bunnys. They all would giggle at Steve's wit and charm. One day, while traveling, he met a very cute bunny named Bernice. Steve called her a funny bunny, but she...
Slapped him. Steve was ashamed and fled the country. On a boat sailing to Spain, he met a one eyed pig who taught Steve many great lessons. One day the pig...
Jumped overboard to find a message in a bottle. Steve through great difficulty, for the pig was fat and couldn't swim, saved him and the message. It said...
Honey, does this dress make me look fat?
They both quietly looked out to the ocean and said yes. Once the arrived at shore, scientists captured them to study them because they were talking animals. One day in the lab...
A mariacii band came to play for the scientist's birthday party. There was cake and had cream. Steve politely asked for a slice and the woman screamed. Then...
Aliens came and destroyed china. Steve then began singing, and the band took him on as the lead singer. The pig sadly died. One day, while on tour...
The aliens sat on the front row of the concert. After the show they came backstage and asked Steve if he had seen a message in a bottle. They thought...
Their dresses were quite flattering. Steve quickly corrected them. In anger, they took steve away to their planet called...
Pork. Bernice was also there. Steve and Bernice held onto each other in fear. The aliens took them to their king who loved music Steve started to sing a song.
And the king turned to Jello. Due to widespread fear and a new job opening, Steve was made king and Bernice was made queen.
Steve was mad at the aliens because he had liked Chinese food, so he blew up Pork and went back to earth where he and Bernice....
Married and had a good house and 500 kids. One young bunny, named steve, decided to go looking for adventure. He found...
A rock and named it Jim. He took the rock everywhere. talked to it, sang to it... One day the rock said...

I'm grateful for...
A young, healing body. No matter how my body seems to get beat up, bruised, scratched, sore or sick, in some remarkable way, life will continue as normal with no lasting damage. I've been working on getting rid of a constant cracking back and bad headaches, and within 2 weeks, the headaches are gone and my back is already stronger. I'm grateful for a fully functioning immune system that keeps me alive and well. Eyes that see a sunset every night, ears that hear music every day, mouth that sings, hands that feel, feet that walk with freedom.

Food.
Today I ate 3 slices of pie and one piece of cake.
Dutch Apple Pie, Black Bottom Pie, Raspberry Cream. Apple Spice with dulce de leche and whipped cream.
Whoa.
