Random Thoughts 30

There are advantages to being in such a low-ranking position in my gigantic company.  When vendors reach out to me trying to partner with us for their services, I can tell them, "I'm nothing more than a lowly customer service agent. I don't have the power to make those sort of decisions.  No, I'm too unimportant in the company to know who the right person would be."

Me at 4AM:  I am wide awake. I can’t sleep anymore. I have to wake up in an hour to do my workout. I might as well get out of bed and start my day early.

Me at 5 AM:  I am so tired. I want to go back to bed. I can’t because it’s time for my workout.

Baby swans are not particularly ugly. Where did that fairy tale come from?

TV executives keep wanting to reboot old TV shows instead of making new ones. I think if they are going to reboot a show, it should be Mel and Susan Together.

Revelation in a recent dance class:  “I was today years old when I realized the connection between the words chassè and cha cha.

Speaking of early mornings, when I am lying awake at 3AM, it’s not a good idea to start thinking of rhubarb pie.

I realized today how much Donald Trump reminds me of Looney Tunes.  I am thinking of Elmer Fudd repeating over and over, “I am Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire.  I own a mansion and a yacht.”  I can just imagine Trump increasingly desperate to impress his audience and continuing his struggles to put a coherent sentence together saying over and over, “I am Donald J. Trump, millionaire.  I own a mansion and a yacht.”  Then I remember he can’t say that because he had to sell his yacht to a Saudi prince years ago because he couldn’t make payments on it.

Returning to the topic of rebooted television, if they were to go back to making After School Specials, what would they be about? I'm Addicted to Tik Tok! Liam Wants to Be a Girl (Not that there is anything wrong with that),  My Mom Says Harry Potter is a Sin. 

I guess After School Specials can't happen in today's world. When I was a kid, we were a captive audience.  I had no cable until I was 11 or 12.  I had seven channels to choose from (that's if you counted Channel 9, which I never did).  An After School Special felt like treat because it was a deviation from the usual programming.  What would make a kid with streaming platforms and cable television want to watch some poorly-acted, moralizing, melodrama?

I have never seen a refrigerator that wasn’t up against the kitchen wall. So now my overthinking mind has to wonder…

If the piece of glass was behind the refrigerator, how could Miss Lucy have been able to sit on it?  How did she get between the refrigerator and the wall?  I think the whole story is suspect. I don’t think she truly broke her little…

I shall ask you no more questions.

How To Not Curate and Edit Your Wardrobe (and still be happy with it)

Image
Out with the old, in with the new. Wait.  That's not quite right.  Old does not have to go out if it's still useful and still looks good.  New doesn't have to take over the old.  Do I have too much old?  Did I buy too much new? I am following several fashion bloggers who talk about creating a "capsule wardrobe".  This is a wardrobe of fairly timeless pieces that best capture your style. At first I thought these sites were going to help me dress perfectly with every piece mixable and into a signature style that screams "Rachel."  No item would be superfluous and everything would work together harmoniously. I have learned in the past few weeks as I transition my wardrobe from the fall/winter closet to the spring/summer closet that trying to get yourself into this mindset can drive you crazy. It is definitely helpful to evaluate your wardrobe periodically.  Sometimes there is a reason why something has been sitting in the back of the closet...

The Lie That Will Destroy Us

Image
The United States has never been more divided. This divided country will fall apart. Are we headed for another civil war? It's hard to listen to any political commentary these days without hearing about how "divided" the country is. The United States isn't united. It's an assemblage of different groups who all have different goals and dreams and lifestyles and values. It's urban again rural, liberal against conservative, Christians against non-Christians, native-born against immigrants. The entire country is a powder keg of hate waiting to blow because nobody can agree on anything anymore. Is it really? The mass media and all the various political commentators feed us these stories about American division every day. They can't be wrong, can they? It's not as if the news outlets, owned by giant media conglomerates and run by billionaires have any stake in keeping us afraid, right? The media are all reporting the facts and there is no advantage to making...
