I think this line's mostly filler

There are moments in life upon which all other moments hinge. They forever change you, shape you, make you belong to them. These moments can be good, happy, sad, poignant, honest. They are the moments you reflect on when time comes for reflection. They alter your whole mood, give direction in life, and change everything all at once.

And then there are all the other moments. The filler moments. These are the ones we overlook all too often. It might be a day of sunshine, the smell of the grass just after it's mowed, the laughter of children, a simple conversation with a friend, or the smile of a stranger. We let these moments pass, swift and fleeting, while we are waiting for another life altering moment to come along. Sad to think of just how much we miss that way. Like the little lines in the middle of the highway flying beneath us in a blur as we drive to our next destination, the filler moments of life just tick tick tick by and we never even stop to notice.

I've had both kinds of moments in recent weeks. I've had the forever changing ones, sweet and easy to savor for what they have offered; and I've had the fillers. Of course, much more filler moments than the other, but that's what is so great about it. I've realized, if I can just stop and enjoy the filler, I'll be enjoying so much more of my life than if I'm just waiting on the next big moment.

Without filler, there'd only be empty space.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood

Oh how easily amused I am. My entire night has been sheer amusement.

It started plainly enough with a trip to Wal-Mart. I knew in the parking lot the trip would be interesting seeing as how I am in the middle of the female plague and was left without a tampon. Should be an easy fix since we were at the getting place, but I am cheap and refused to buy a whole box seeing as how I am fully stocked here at home. So I opted to try the machine in the girls' bathroom. No big. Unless they're out. AND it takes your quarter. My newest and perhaps coolest friend was with me and when she emerged from her stall she found me with my arm elbow deep up the tampon machine. So, she pops the lock and I happily get my quarter back.

Next, on our second trip of the evening to Wal-Mart, we were walking around and spotted the most gorgeous set of eyes I have seen possibly to date. So, of course we stalked him. Fast forward to picking out weiners, the edible kind perverts, and I noticed the most pleasant smell lingering around. I quickly realized the pleasing aroma was coming from the older gentleman standing in front of me. Of course, I HAD to tell him how great he smelled. To which he replied, "Uh, okay" and exited the area as quickly as possible. I had to fight the urge to randomly walk up behind him and sniff.

Then we went to get dinner. Fried Chicken. Dude came to the window to give us the food, for which I was ready to exchange my debit card. After his blank stare at my offer for monetary goods in payment for his edible goods he said there would be someone there to take our payment. So we sat. And we sat. Chicken and money in hand. Finally we drove off. Still with chicken and money.

Things accomplished today:
1. Break into tampon machine - check
2. Stalk random people around Wal-Mart - check
3. Gank some chicken - check

Good times. Good times.
