It is another Monday. Bleh. My darling sister's baby shower was well attended - our beloved sister and her family showed up for the fun to the delight of all. No mother anywhere. And the entire event was drama free. Thanks sister for posting the pics on FB so I know what I missed.
I had an interesting conversation today with Jill over lunch. (Yummy chicken shawerma and fatoush salad.) We were talking about the words that we tend to overuse. I happen to say, "Um," "K," "Yeah" and "fabulous" all the frigging time. They are all mostly positive terms. Yay me. With the exception of "um" which I hope to obviate from my vocabulary, I am not ashamed of the the things I say or oversay as the case may be. Most of my phrases are markers for me to affirm what has been said and then to think before I speak. Perfectly reasonable actions on my part. Fabulous just marks an overall positive outlook. Jill on the other hand says "vicious" a lot. She would much rather use a positive phrase and (rightly in my mind) thinks that the terms we use reflect if not impact our outlooks on life. I want my life to be yummy, fuzzy, beautiful, and most of all fabulous. I don't care if I sound like an idiot.
