Yesterday was so great for so, so many reasons.
I had food that was so delicious at a restaurant that was so, so excellent.
One of those comments is so me and one of them is so Deborah.
So, who is Deborah? Deborah is my ex-sister-in-law, whom I love soooooo much. (If you so want to see Deborah in some photos from our so recent and so fabulous trip to Edinburgh, it would be so easy to click here).
Deborah is so funny, clever, and lovely in so many ways, that any attempt to capture her so wonderful essence in one so-imperfect blog post is going to fall so short, no matter how long it is.
Here’s a so-fun exchange we had yesterday morning, when Oscar the cat was being so intrusive on my keyboard:
How does 9:30 sound?
It sounds like music to my ears.
You can park in back of our p
ooops!
Oscar sent that message too soon
You can park in back
if you chooseAhh over eager kitty messaging
Yes. This is a constant issue.
Oscar also writes his own text messages.
Of course, when I wrote that, he stopped.32S
See you shortly!
Maybe Oscar has others to text with
Oscar’s messages are very mysterious.See you soon! And I’ll ask Oscar what “32S” means.
Perhaps an exit on 128?
I just looked it up and Oscar is suggesting that we go to the Burlington Mall.
Yes, Oscar is so so present, so so often.
Deborah is so so talented, she is transforming a small so-so house in nearby Bedford, Massachusetts, into a home that is going to be SO spectacular.
I find it so amazing that houses can be changed so radically. That’s because my brain is so adept at imagining change for people, and so bad at visualizing change for inanimate objects. Yesterday, Deborah — who thinks she has a so-so memory — remembered this from so, so long ago: Soon after we first met, during the 1980’s, Deborah showed me her home and said, “I’m thinking of knocking down this wall.” I was so, so surprised, I said, “You can do that?!?”
Why was this so memorable, for Deborah? Probably because I’m so different from her, in that way.
So what else do I want to say about “So So,” now?
- I am so, so happy about somebody I’ve know for so long becoming my co-worker so soon (three weeks from today).
- I am so familiar with how focus on the future can take me out of being so present in the here and now.
- I had some dreams last night that were so weird, including one where there were SO many canaries roosting in my home. I guess if you look at this photo I took so recently, that dream isn’t so surprising:
Here are two songs I like so so much that I’m hearing as I write this So So post.
So, my so dear readers, which do you like better? “Moving in Stereo” by the Cars or Miles Davis‘s “So What?”
Don’t worry about any comment of yours being so-so; I’m so so eager to read what you have to share.
So what’s stopping you?
I am so, so grateful to Deborah, Cook., the cats, the Cars, canaries, Miles Davis, and so, so many others who help me appreciate every day so so much (which includes you, I so hope you know).
“So What” Davis rules
I so agree with you.
So so fabulous!
Thanks so so much, fabulous Wendy!
Future house of Deborah looks so so nice. And, again, your post is so, so excellent 🙂
So excellent and so nice of you to visit here today.
That house is so, so big. And Oscar what a funny little kitty he is!!!
Have a great-great day!!!!!
So, so great-great to see you, SD!!! And Oscar is so so grateful for your attention.
You are so so lucky to be healthy and happy. right now I am so so not. I have Dengue Fever! It is so, so, so not fun. And so I am (again) off to the clinic for blood work. I so hope I do not land in the hospital!
I so hope that you are healthy so so very soon, Emilie.
There’s no comparison between The Cars and Miles Davis. Whether one is more enjoyable than the other depends so much on what mood you’re in. It’s the difference between eggs Benedict and pancakes. Both are breakfast foods–or so you might think–but can one really be said to be better than the other?
Your comments are so beyond compare, Chris, and I am so grateful.
Ann, I have nominated you for an award. When you have a moment, please stop in to ‘see’ me. All you need is right there waiting for you.
☕️❤️
I am sooooo moved and honored. And, as always, I am so grateful to know you. ❤ ❤
You touch so many people’s lives. You deserve this, and I am so thankful to know you. ☕️❤️
The feelings are mutual.
Ann, you know that I do write, I’m editor in chief of The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally
I’m so, so in love. He’s such a hunk. I gotta see him!
These cats are so so interesting.
So so clever of you, Maria!
So so can be good or it can be not so good, depends on the event and how we are feeling at the time
So so true, Joanne.
Sounds like more than a so so meal. Deborah’s house addition is also way more than so so. This is when so so transforms into so great!!
xo
So great of you to say so, Val! ❤ ❤
I just love those close ups of Oscar- what a smarty to send email and texts. 🙂 And that breakfast looked heavenly 🙂
So heavenly to see you, Lisa!
🙂
I am so glad to see your smile, Maureen!
Oscar’s typing looks like what I sometimes see on my screen when I wake up with my hand on the mouse
Your comments are so so worth waiting for, Derrick.
That cat rocks.
You so rock!
Miles Davis for me. He was so cool, if he was alive today global warming wouldn’t be a problem!
What a so so cool comment, Paul!
