muttering about

I don't have much to add to my mutterings post today.
I've been feeling a bit blue, so going out last night was a
highlight to a 'not so good' week. My mind is racing with too many
regrets, too much stress and thoughts that I don't like and can't share.
What is weird, is so many people I've spoken to recently... all seem distant and
pensive, like they are feeling similarly. There is truly a negative wind blowing in from our countries difficulties.
The last time I remember such a universal numbness & sadness... 9/11 and the weeks following 9/11.
I will never forget shopping at Costco for items needed by our heros who were at ground zero, working around the clock. the store was crowded but silent. Everyone I looked at at Costco that day, had the same needed items in their carts.. and the same far away, quiet sadness in their eyes.


  1. Magical ::
  2. Seeing our old friends last night felt magical like it used to when we were all young and had No kids!
  3. Shrimp ::
  4. Last night at Tutto Pazzo I LOVED the delicious shrimp dinner I ordered.
  5. Project Runway ::
  6. Project- Running Away- don't you feel that way sometimes?
  7. Economy :: This awful decline in our economy has hurt business even in my little place.
  8. Porch :: I love those old homes with giant wrap around porches!
  9. State of affairs :: No matter what state, No matter what affair- The USA is in serious trouble.
  10. .com :: Imagine that our young kids, don't remember a time they didn't have a computer.
  11. fifty cents: : What can you buy with it these days?
  12. Ripping :: HOW long do YOU spend ripping up all this junk mail each day?
  13. Bull :: If I would have realized HOW cruel a bull fight is, I would have NEVER attended one in Mexico many years ago.

You hit the nail on the head with the communal numbness that appears to be striking us all - it's like waiting for the other show to fall! Feel up and better soon!

I love wrap around porches too and thought I love mine do wish it was a wrap around.

My brain originally went to junk mail too LOL

Sorry you had a rough week Lucy! Hope next week is better.

Loved your answers, I feel the same about many especially number five. I wonder if that's an illusion though...because painting the slats on the wrap around porch would be a bitch! Yeah a bull fight would NOT be my thing either!! ewww....

Hugs Giggles
