I feel like I need to go pray at St Joseph’s Catholic Church when no one is around and it’s only me, God, and the scent of wooden old pews that used to get polished with Old English.

I was telling Lily I love you and Siri thought I was talking to her. In return, Siri said, “I think you’re great too.”

Wha?!?! My watch with a watch voice burns me? All my insecurities about being the first to say I love you in a relationship came immediately back. So in return, I made Siri listen (held down the button on purpose this time) while I told her I didn’t need her love cause I’m married and I’m have someone else’s love. Here goes this conversation.

Siri: I’m not sure I understand

Me: Siri I’m sorry if I misled you but I’m married. I only love her.

Siri: I didn’t get that. Could you try again?

Me: Siri, don’t make me do this the hard way. Our relationship has always been and will always be professional. I’m taken. I’m not looking for feelings from you….maybe just some directions and help finding the nearest gas station.

Siri: That’s not nice.

Me: Neither was your first comment (so now we’re even).

Siri: Though our intellect strives for clarity, our nature is drawn to ambiguity.

Me: ….OK….

Siri: I thought so

Where does the time go? Just yesterday it was best if used by July 31.

I am beginning to see the advantages of intermittent fasting. Think of the sleep I could get if I said no to my phone from 6:00 pm – 8:00 am. I suppose saying no to food during this time would also have its advantages, but how could I do one without full use of the other?

Every generation is born with a new and different light to share with the world, but in exchange, they have to leave someone else’s light behind.

Kristen wanted me to ask Siri if she should go to bed. 🙄 As if I’m going to relinquish anymore control to the women in my life.

Child: We studied koalas today!
Me: Yeah?
Child: Ah huh, in science.
Me: What is something you learned?
Child: I don’t know.
Me: Well, what country is it from?
Child: The zoo!
Me: Fair guess, but not exactly. What country?
Another child chimes in: The woods!
Me: But what country are koalas from? Anyone?
A different child yells out: Jellybeans!!!
Me: Country? Like where do koalas live? Where do they come from?
Yet another child: Kansas???
A different child closes us out with: Their Mom!

I started a book last night. It is 100% fiction and has nothing to do with me, what I should be doing or how to improve my life. I love it!
