Entry for Thursday, August 31, 2006 It's a Small World After All

I had an experience today that made me think "It's a small world".  The reference of course, is to that horrific ride at Disney World in Orlando (located in Fantasy Land).  If you've never had a chance to go on that ride, let me share with you my experience.  First off you are lured in because its a chance to sit down in a boat that is pulled around in air-conditioned comfort; which if you are in Orlando during the summer you are looking for air-conditioning!  Once they have you inside you are sailing past small vignettes of puppet children in their national dress singing "Its a small world after all....." in their language; but one nation's singing overlaps the next and the music is very loud.  Trust me it is total sensory overload and not in a good way.  And it goes on, and on, and on, and on.........  But I digress.  The experience I had today was not like that at all.  It just made me think "Its a small world" and off my brain went to the above.

I started my day by sleeping until 9:40 a.m.  A good start huh?  I had a phone meeting set up for 11:00 with a woman who is my spiritual counselor.  After I spoke with her, I ate breakfast at noon and then got dressed to go see my nutritionist in Silver Spring.  I get to that office and she is standing at the desk with the receptionist and I say hello to them and sit down in the waiting room.  The nutritionist then says to me, there is someone in the waiting room that you know Cheryl, so I look at the other woman there, and she looks at me and we're thinking "huh" we don't know each other.  Then she says her name and we all laugh and I get up and hug the woman that I'd been on the phone at 11:00 with!  I had only met her in person once two years ago.  It was very funny as we'd spoken for an hour that morning and we didn't recognize each other.

After I left Silver Spring I drove back home and went to the grocery store across the street.  My Daughter and Grand-daughter came for dinner.  Megan is spending the night because there is no school tomorrow.

I'm all set to stay home all day tomorrow out of the rain.  My new curtain rods came today so maybe I'll get Warren to put them up for me.  I need to finish up a little housework too before I go get my Mom Saturday morning and bring her down here.

I suppose that I've rambled on enough tonight to make you yawn (even I'm yawning).  Have a peaceful night.
