I love the message of this Gucci video.  It's got a smooth groove to it.  I like it.  So I share it with you.

I lost another ring.  Was it an old junky, everyday ring?  Noooo.  I have to lose the big ones.  You know, the ones that really matter.  It was a little silver ring with turquoise encircled in a sunflower shape.  When I was a little girl, my daddy gave me that ring.  He's not here anymore.  Neither is my ring.  (Hanging my head in shame here) It's right there at Goodwill in Lawton, Oklahoma.  I felt the hangars catching on it, but never dreamed they were going to actually take it.  Where's the good will in that?   I called them to report it,  but had to laugh when I did.  Who loses a ring at Goodwilll?  That's like throwing a bottle of water in the ocean and trying to call it back.  You're not getting it back.  Hello!  It's Goodwill.  This isn't the first time.  No.  I think it's a thing with me....

Honestly, come on! This doesn't even make any sense. "Are we sick?"  "No.  Not sick."  "Are we overwhelmed?" "No.  Not overwhelmed." "Calling in for backup when not needed.  Yep.  That's got to be it." That's not the way things are done.  A case of too many cooks in the kitchen can spoil the broth.  Yeah, that's actually true.  What ain't broke, don't fix it.  Well-oiled gears.   You know, all those little sayings that do have a lot of meaning. New faces, new changes.  It's like a double-edged sword.  They're great, but they have no clue to the way things are always done throughout the whole system.  Tweeks can be good.  Sometimes. Sometimes not.  Life isn't a game of hopscotch where you can throw a pebble, land on a square and jump right into the game.  Probably the playground monitor should assign everyone to their own hopscotch board.  There's probably...

When I first walk into work the other morning, my conversation with a lovely coworker of mine -- seriously, she really is lovely. Everyone should meet her. Well, I have no memory of what our conversation was about, but she says something to me -- oh, yeah.  I do remember.  Someone needed me to go on the record.  I'm like, "I know."  Which, I actually did know because I remembered it going into work that day. But why not just say, "Okay.  Cool.  Thank you."   I mean, that's simple.  Right?  Of course it is.  Saying "I know" sounds so ungrateful when someone is just trying to increase your knowledge of life or just help you in general.  And might hurt their feelings.  I know because it's happened to me. Have you ever noticed that the way things are said can take on a totally different meaning.   I told my little rugrats that years ago. We'd make a game out of it in the car by saying the same word in different ways and ...

Man, oh, man.   My head is swirling around from all the AMAZING things I have going on in my brain.  It's hard to narrow them all down to one thought process.  Some people would say, "Scaaaary."  Well, you know, Halloween did roll around again yesterday. It's funny how that works.  It happens every year and people are like, "Oh, my gosh.  It's already Halloween! Before you know it Christmas will be here."  Uh, yeah.  I guarantee you, you will hear that same quote again next year.  Probably, right around this same time. So Saturday, when I walk into the bread store, I overhear these two little boys at the counter talking as they're digging their hand into the giant orange -- guess what!!??   PUMPKIN.    Yeah, a big plastic one filled with Dum Dums.  One little boy was, like, "I like the blueberry."   The other boy was, like, "I like to get the Mystery one."   In my brain I'm going, "The Mystery One? ...
