A Semicolon Kind of Life.

Just when you were depressed because you thought I would never write again; I am back to dazzle you with my...wits.

For anyone who doesn't know, I stole "dazzle you with my...wits" from Julia Stiles a la one of my most favorite films of all time, "10 Things I Hate About You" circa 1999. Now, Heath Ledger may have died but he lives on in my heart as Patrick Verona. It's okay Julia. I hate his combat boots too.

Are you wondering what I am talking about? The truth is, I was just trying to give you some insight into my completely non lateral thought processes. I swear on my flameless, wickless scentsy candle that I had the following four thoughts in a succession the other day; I love Erika, it's a nice day, monarch butterflies, I lose.

I mean really, how is a girl supposed to get anything done when her mind is in a million places at once? I remember the routing numbers for every bank in Alaska. but I cannot, without exception, remember where I parked my car. I have also developed a habit of misusing semicolons. Basically you are supposed to use a semicolon when connecting loosely related thoughts and a comma is not strong enough. For instance:

Incorrect: The cow is brown, it is also old.
Correct: The cow is brown; it is also old.

I feel like my life is a little bit like a semicolon. Just a lot of loosely related thoughts and events strung together with a sense of duty, responsibility, and love acting as the semicolon. If the semicolon=joy then we would have a lifetime of loosely related days held together by happiness.

;

I am serious though, if we ever have a woman president, I hope she is nothing like me because somehow the president thinking I love the first man, it's raining, healthcare debate, I want to learn how to make homemade pasta disturbs me.

Until next time; have a semicolon=joy kind of day!
