Just wondering...
Head on over to
and find out what's going on in other people's heads today.
There are a lot of these that I don't have answers for. But the one about singing in the car, yes, it does free the soul a bit. It's even more of a release if you do it with the windows down, not caring about the people next to you at the stop light. "Yeah, I'm singing something from Glee! What of it?"
ReplyDeleteYes, yes yes. It's not just you. I love the beach, I hate rude drivers, I make up stuff my pet says, I love to sing in the car (and in the car I have a great voice *ahem*), I what if all the time...and on and on.
ReplyDeleteYep.
ReplyDeleteI find dirty socks everywhere, Including the backyard which I can't figure out at all.
I create thoughts for my pets out loud. Along with for my son.
I sound AMAZING in the car. With the volume up louder than my actual voice of course.
No, my husband puts his sock in the laundry basket. probably he does his own laundry. (he was work uniforms that have to be sanitized...very particular about that, hence he does it)...but don't think I get off easy; I do mine, 3 kids and the house stuff like towels, etc.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it does amaze me that when his dishes Do find their way to the kitchen, they are placed ever-so-neatly above the dishwasher. Because that extra few inches to actually put them IN the dishwasher..well, that can just exhaust you.
Hence my absolute firm belief that singing at the top of your voice in the car IS one of the most freeing things ever.
Stopping over from PYHO. So happy to have popped in...I love this post!!! And yes, singing at the top of your lungs in the car (totally with the windows rolled down) frees your whole being. I try to do it as often as possible but my 3 year old won't have it sometimes. My laundry is NEVER done and the beach IS the best place in the world....oh so many things on this list I can relate to.
ReplyDeleteI don't think laundry can ever get "done" either. There's always something getting dirty that very minute.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't know about other people's husband's but mine loves to leave clothes everywhere. But he stews when I say, oh how cute, you're marking your territory again. ;)
Agree with every single point (but replacing "dog" with "cat" ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! I can relate!
