Pondering the Possibilities

We had Chinese take-out for lunch at work on Saturday and this is my fortune cookie from that meal (I was playing around with the macro zoom on my camera!). Unlike some of the fortunes that you get in a cookie, this is the kind of fortune that I like to get as it lends itself to all sorts of possibilities and wonderings.

What sort of chance will I take? Will that chance pan out or fail miserably? And should I try playing those lucky numbers? The possibilities are endless!

Random Musings on a Sunday Afternoon ...

************************
If everyone on the turnpike (or "highway" for those in other parts of the country) all went the same speed then no one would ever catch up to or pass anyone else - least ways that's the way that theory should work, right?

Speaking of driving, why are the gas prices going up so high again? Most places here in Norwich are over $3.00 a gallon again. Is it the anticipated Thanksgiving travel that is jacking the prices up or do the oil execs need more spending money for Christmas?

How much would could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? And why would he want to anyway? Does he have home heating problems, too?

Do men wear cufflinks anymore or is that something that has gone the way of niceties and manners?

Speaking of manners, is it my imagination or do people just seem to be getting ruder and ruder these days?

Are the rest of the leaves that are on the trees going to get the chance to change into some nice eye-catching foliage or are they just going to fall to the ground and blow away without being able to put on a show first?

Can't I just stick my head in the ground and pretend that Christmas is not less than two months away?

Why is it that the socks you need are always the ones at the very bottom of the clothes basket? And where do all the missing ones go? Is there some sort of limbo area for socks that we don't know about that only one can go to at a time?

Why is it with everything else in the world being super-sized that my paycheck isn't? How is it that the cost of living goes up daily while my pay level stays the same? How am I ever going to get caught up, never mind ahead?

Speaking of work - whorever decided that 3:00 in the afternoon was a good time to go in? That's smack in the middle of the day!

Speaking of the middle of the day, it's almost 2:00 and I'm still in my robe and slippers! I really need to go try to get some stuff done!

Everyone have a great Sunday!
