Yesterday, I saw the title of today’s post…
… on the inside of a greeting card.
I agree. If it isn’t one thing, it’s another.
Here’s another thing: This morning, my boyfriend Michael said to me, “Guess what Harley and I saw last night?”
I could have guessed any one of these things ..
- “Game of Thrones”
- Our other cat, Oscar
- Cat puke
- Computers
… but I guessed another: “Was it an animal?”
It WAS an animal that Michael and Harley saw last night, outside the window.
If it wasn’t any thing I guessed, it was another:
- Raccoon
- Possum
- Groundhog
- Bird (correct!)
- Big bird (correct!)
- Hawk
- Owl
- Crow
- Heron
- Swan
- Goose
- Eagle
- Pelican
- Penguin
- Albatross
At one point, Michael said to me, “You’re going to kick yourself when you guess it.” I replied, “Believe me. I am not going to kick myself.”
If it isn’t one thing I’ve kicked myself for, it’s another. Self-judgment has really been an albatross around my neck. Therefore, I’ve decided to kick myself no more.
Here’s another thing: I DID guess the one thing Michael and Harley saw last night, which was walking down the sidewalk. If you try to guess that one thing, it might be another.
If it isn’t one photo I take for this blog, it’s another. Here are some photos from yesterday:
If it isn’t one person making a pun around here, it’s another. Last night at Market Basket, after the fish guy gave us more fish than we asked for, he said, “What the hake.”
If it isn’t one thing I’m asking my readers to guess, it’s another. Which one of the greeting cards shown above had today’s title inside?
If it isn’t one thing I want to do on my vacation week, it’s another. It’s time to end this post with not one thing but another:
