3 Thoughts Thursday

1. Is "Well, don't you look comfortable!" a compliment?
Someone said that to me today. I was wearing black shorts with a belt, a white tank under a heathered dark blue racerback tank with an American flag design on it, and red and white boat shoes. It's hotter than blazes outside, so I wanted to dress accordingly. And yes, I was comfortable: the outfit was comfy, and I was cool in the terrible heat. I said thanks when she said it; but afterward I started to think that there were several ways I could have taken that statement...

2. Follow-through is important.
In lots of things. Following through when you swing a baseball bat is important. Likewise, the key to a good golf swing is the follow-through (whether it be GOLF golf or putt-putt golf). Also, it is important to follow through when you say you're going to do something. For instance, like when you purchase a new vehicle that needs a special license plate bracket to hold it onto the back of the car and you put the plate temporarily in the back window because the dealership says they are going to get you the special bracket within the next few days but fast-forward 2+ weeks and your plate is still sliding around in your back window because they haven't gotten you the bracket they promised to get you and you're afraid you're going to get pulled over because you really can't see the license plate in the back window and you think that's probably a ticket-able offense... The whole situation could be remedied by FOLLOWING THROUGH and getting the bracket like THEY SAID THEY WOULD.*

*It's supposed to get there today. I'll believe that when said bracket is ON MY CAR and I don't have to worry about the license plate sliding into Emma's lap by accident.

3. When Emma isn't here, I feel like part of me is missing.
She's only bowling with MIL and FIL, but I'm still alone here at the house and CLICK HERE.
