I heard a quote on the radio today “Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll keep getting what you’re getting”.
Ain’t that the damn truth. And, how many facets of your life does this apply to? I’m too embarrassed to tell you my answer to that one.

Ricky Nugget and I watched that movie “Rachel Getting Married” this weekend.
“What’s this about?” Ricky Nugget asked.
“Somebody’s sister is getting married and hilarity ensues” I answered. Without really knowing the whole answer. I just wanted to watch a movie for escape from our way too quiet house.
Okay then. I was only partly right afterall. Anne Hathaway plays the drug addict of a sister who’s getting married about two days after she gets out of about 9 months of rehab. The movie depicts the self-absorption of the addict and the family’s altered lives due to the addict’s shenanigans. To put it lightly.
“That was fun” I said, after the movie was over.
I’m going to need a movie palate-cleanser to get over that one. Maybe a little Napoleon Dynamite or something foreign, like Amelie. I could use a good dose of ridiculousness or a foreign film that has a pair of Red Chuck Taylors play a key role in the plot.

It’s going to be a hot mofo for a few days this week. I guess it’s good training for me seeing as how I’m going to Atlanta in mid-July. Which is about as bright as the time I went to Orlando in June.
I’m not the brightest travel planner. Then again, this trip to Atlanta in July is not my idea. I’d have planned for a fall trip or a mid-winter trip. But hey, the invitation was given for a good time with good girlfriends and I can’t pass it up. No matter how miserable I’m going to be. Between the laughter.
I’m going to Orlando in August. Not just hot, but hurricane season. Perhaps we have the same travel agent.
That is remarkably similar to my own mantra of” If nothing changes, nothing changes.”
Wait. That’s not my mantra.
My mantra is “You get what you settle for.”
Are you going to Atlanta for fun? That’s not far from me….would love to meet you if there was time – you and your friends would be welcome here or I could meet you in the city. Let me know what you think girl…….Not wanting to crash your party or anything – give it a thought!
I’ve heard it this way “Do you know the definition of insanity? Do the same thing, the same way, over and over. And expecting different results.” Take care!
