Marieisms.....

So...I have this fantastic co-worker who has all of these catchy sayings that I love. I thought that you might get a kick out of them as well. Here is a few to wet your whistle:

"You know me, I'm not backwards about coming forwards."

"You're about as subtle as a hand grenade."

this has been directed at me once or twice....maybe more....

"To the moon! To. The. Moon."

most often used when expressing frustration....love it!

All three of these bring a smile to my face and almost make me double over laughing.

a little rhyme, a little riddle

lefties, lefties, everywhere
lefties, lefties, under where.
lefties, lefties, I don't care.
lefties, lefties, everywhere.

walking home...

last night I had the opportunity to walk home with a good friend. we had a simply fabulous conversation. one that was deep- diving into topics whose answers may always elude us. but it was good. no conclusion were reached but in the end I felt comforted by the knowledge and realizations that I gained as a result of the conversation.

experiences like this are my favorite. I enjoy turning over ideas in my head and I love discussing them with others- especially friends.

it was a good night.

name change....

or maybe title change...

inspired by a good friend who thought that it would be smiply perfect if I had a blog titled "jasmania". luckily I already had the blog. all I had to do was change the title. :)

Be well...

In an email correspondence from a friend she signed it with the term- "be well". I have never really thought about the ending of an email and how it may or may not effect me...but this one caught me off guard. There is something about the simplicity of the thought that comes with the phrase "be well". It seems to express a deeper care and concern for the well being of the other. a genuine desire that as they part from this interaction they may actually take health and well wishes along with them. I love it. I may have to pick this little phrase up and take it along with me.
