I randomly ran across this bumper sticker to-day. It was displayed (proudly) on a small “smart car” parked near my work. I am still not sure whether it was actually a positive comment on the owner’s life style or a wry joke on the demands of modern (read Nike) life style. Anyway I took it as a sign. I take a lot of things as “signs.” When the coffee house runs out of 2% milk, I take it as a sign to add cream – Oh yes, I could probably add skim – but that wouldn’t necessarily be a positive sign, would it?<\/p>\n
Anyway, another challenge in my blogging group is “random” – Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something!!….look for random signs maybe????? Well I can do…random….. just watch me!!<\/p>\n
Sooooo here is a list of the random things that I have managed to do in the days since my last post……this is not to be confused with the musical “last post.” I am still here – however randomly connected that may be!!!<\/p>\n
1. I just ordered 500lbs of yarn today. How random is that? Given that it was a yarn that I had had doubts about; but it has proven to be a “winner.” I never thought that I would be able to duplicate the original 250lbs that I took from a liquidator. Well a few strategically placed phone calls and voila I have more yarn. Maybe not so random..we’ll see.<\/p>\n
2. The washing machine broke – again – today. Last week we spent $400.00 to have the transmission fixed – on a washing machine – a car yes – but where were my clothes going anyway that they needed to change gears – OK “gear” I get; it needs a transmission \ud83d\ude42 This is random.<\/p>\n
3. A dog ran into my yard today. We have three cats and an unfenced yard because dogs are on leashes and cats rule!!! Well the dog was a neighbour’s Samoyed – lovely dog and I was able to coerce my 19 year-old into catching the dog and returning it to the neighbour. Well, this family is in film – how random is that? and offered my son a job – not sure whether it will be in film or in dog walking – either way it may mean remuneration. – The rule here is to watch out for randomly lost dogs – their owners may have connections!!!<\/p>\n
4. I made a lentil salad tonight – this is really random. So sometimes random can be good for you!!<\/p>\n
5. The weather has decided to randomly pick a number betweeen O\u00baC and 25\u00baC and vacillate between them. It’s a lottery. I hope I win on the weekend!!!<\/p>\n
Please post all your encounters of a “random kind,” as proof that the world is really in a state of complete chaos and anything that resembles logic is just a magician’s trick to make us believe that there is form and order in our lives, when it is all really sleight of hand and happenstance!!!<\/p>\n
Have a randomly wonderful day!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
