While Some People Dine In Parisian Cafes...

Dear god, I have become the most boring person on the planet. It hasn't happened overnight- trust me. I've been working on this status for years.
But it's finally happened. I have reached that goal where sleeping is now the most interesting thing I do all day. I'd offer you my dreams to prove that point but I can't remember them.

Here's a picture of me and an un-named chick:


As you can see, the chicks are growing very fast. Yesterday I cut up some grapes for them and they ate them all up!!!
See? That's exciting to me. 

Also? You will note that I am wearing my beige corduroy overalls and my green cashmere sweater, both Old Navy brand, both acquired at the Goodwill. It's a good look, right? 
Especially when accessorized with the baby chick.

Here's another shot. 


Yes. I have eyes. 

Here's the funniest thing Owen said to me all week:

We were at Fanny's Cafe, having our delightful lunch on Tuesday and he had to poop so I took him in to the restroom. I stood outside the door so he could have his privacy but when I heard the toilet flush, I went in to make sure he was washing his hands. 
"How'd it go?" I asked him, as grandmothers sometimes do. 
"That was a disgusting poop," he said. "I am never pooping that poop again!"

I think I will leave you with that as there is very little I could add to even attempt to make it a better story. Find whatever meaning in it that you will. 

It is Friday. It is beautiful in Lloyd, but it is cold. I am going to take a walk. I am going to the library. I am going to give my baby chicks some more grapes. 

Tonight I will sleep.

Happy Friday, y'all.
Love...Ms. Moon

  1. Stop it with 'the most boring person' labeling! I find you fascinating, real, refreshing, and interesting...people who are boring: re-posters, no original contenters, self-agrandizers, and prejudiced ones....don't see you on this list! That outfit is a good look for you! Oh, and we got another fricking foot of snow, even though the goose started laying...

  2. I used to have a pair of overalls that I cherished. CHERISHED. Then I literally got too big for my britches. I miss them.

  3. Big mamabird- Thank you, sweetie! If the goose is laying, the snow will soon abate. I betcha!

    heartinhand- I know I am losing weight because my overalls are looser. You have no idea how happy this makes me. You should get more overalls. They are the best.

  4. I think being boring (Which you never are) is just lovely. Better than beating off the Black Dog.

  5. I assure you that you are not the most boring person in the world. Trust me. And the Owen poop comment just made me laugh very loudly in my office - I am sure my co-workers are curious. Which suits me fine because that is quite mysterious!

  6. Owen wins.


    "I am never pooping that poop again!"

  7. Birdie- I ADORE boring. And here's the thing- it's never really boring to me. After that anxiety- good god. It's the most wonderful thing ever.

    Jill- Glad I can help you with that mysterious thing. I'll try to write something to make you cry soon. How's that? Then they're really wonder.

    Scott- I thought that what Owen said was brilliant but then again, I am his grandmother. You know how that goes. And know I feel the same about a world with you in it- gotta be okay is what I say.
    Love back.

  8. You look a bit like a chick yourself (in the picture with the eyes), peeping out from under cover.

  13. I like the Goodwill look! And the price was right, I'm sure! The chick definitely makes the outfit.

    Oh, Owen! I literally LOL'd at that story.

  14. Anonymous- A very old chick. Thank you, though!

    Jo- And so much the truth! No! You can never poop the same poop twice. Ever.

    Syd- Me too! Me too!

    Denise- Then I have done my job!

    Elizabeth- Good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise.

    Steve Reed- Yep. Price was right. And so fetching, too! The chick probably cost as much as the outfit.
