Head full of completely useless knowledge

I know lots of ways to get a thrill.  Roller coasters, birthday presents, narrowly missing a speeding ticket – all of these things are thrilling. 

But sometimes it’s the little things that give me the biggest boost.  Stupid little things.  Like when I’m cooking dinner and I actually concentrate enough to make all the food required for the meal. 

When there’s a coupon in the paper for $2.00 off the shampoo you really like but costs a fortune and then further in the paper you find it on sale somewhere.  Double Bonus!

I could go on and on, but I got one of my little thrills today.  It’s really so stupid but it makes me cheer out loud every time it happens.

I’ll be writing along and a $20.00 word comes up in my sentence.  If I spell it right the first time, without a snarky red, wavy line from Microsoft, I get giddy.

This particular time the word was: coalesce. 

I just did it again!  It’s a short word, but is has that sneaky “sce” at the end. 

I probably just need a vacation.  I might be truly pathetic.

(Just so you know, when I ran spell check I got “truly” and “sentence” wrong.  Deep sigh.  And then reality comes back up to bite you.)
