20 Thoughts

1. I swallow loudly, and also chew loudly. I didn’t notice this, but my husband did.

2. I’m actually an introvert who treats my phone like it’s hot lava most of the time.

3. Those things I say I’ll do when I have more time . . . All lies.

5. People don’t want to be pen pals anymore.

6. Erma The Wonder Dog can successfully digest an entire Bic pen.

12. I have watched enough TV to realize I’m way older than the target age for advertisers now, and I just don’t know how I feel about that.

13. My husband chews loudly. And swallows loudly. But I haven’t said anything, I’m just going to wait until I explode for no good reason.

14. The crap my husband and I will watch on TV knows no bounds. Yet we still haven’t watched Tiger King.

15. A friend of mine and her husband played beer pong and ate corn dogs last week for entertainment, and that sounds like a fabulous idea.

16. Everything I have ever DVR’d is having its day in the sun.

17. I have entered the sweet and savory phase of lockdown, and fully appreciate eating Twix and heavily-buttered popcorn at the same time.

Stay safe out there. Be kind. Use this time for deep thoughts, and good culinary and entertainment choices.
