Only Cheery Things

December 15th, 2007 by Ellen

Sometimes, I think too much. Which is boring, and maybe dull. So, today, I think I will only focus upon Fun Things.

For example, kittens. About whom there are many fun facts to be found. As it happens, I have a crippled, neurologically impaired diabetic cat with no tail–but, she is still a happy girl.

And, you know, puppies are nice, too. There is absolutely nothing bad to be said about dogs. This looks like a fun afternoon. And I pretty much always enjoy Get Fuzzy.

I have no fear of bunnies, but once, my dog and I were walking in the park on a sunny spring afternoon, and we saw a small family of bunnies, with their parents, ambling through the grass. Overcome by excitement and joy, we raced over to get a better view–only to discover that it was a family of baby rats, with their parents. But, it was a nice day, and they seemed happy–so, after a moment of brief consternation, we just stood there and watched them go on their way.

It goes without saying that popcorn is fun. Not that I have ever turned down Doritos.

If I were in Atlanta right now (also known as My Homeland), I think I would go here, immediately. But, since I am not, perhaps I should make some very delicious grits this morning. Or maybe I could look around here, and try a few.

The next time I am in Boston, I think I should actually stop–for the first time in years–and take a ride on these.

Do I want to watch Tootsie? By God, maybe I do. Or, perhaps, Ghostbusters. Since I am devoted to pop culture, spending the day here might be a good a idea.

It is the wrong time of year to do this, but wouldn’t it be pleasant? Maybe, like Lonnie Paxton, making a snow angel would be the way to go. (People, um, need instructions? Okay.)

Or I could just sneak off to Facebook, and attack people with my monsters for a while–which I find a whole lot more entertaining than I probably should.
