Thin Mints Part Two
So... I got my box of Thin Mints from the one lady at work. Best 4 bucks I've ever spent, okay maybe not the BEST 4 bucks, but it's pretty up there. She came by and gave them to me... I was super excited.
Seriously, it's the small things like a box of Thin Mints.
I'm happy just to have a little box of Thin Mints Girl Scout Cookies.
Honestly, I and I SWEAR, I've only had 5 cookies from the box so far. I'm trying to make the box last. So far so good. I even waited until after dinner to...
Wait! Dang it. I forgot to make garlic bread with my dinner like I was meaning to make.
Bah. Oh well. maybe I'll make some tomorrow night with my dinner. See, that stinks. And I was TOTALLY looking forward to making garlic bread tonight with my salad and pasta and what not.
Eh, oh well. At least I have these Thin Mints. 6. Okay. I'm limiting it to 6.
Anyways as I was saying... I mean, I'm all about the simple pleasures in life.
I was discussing this today... About, if you could go anywhere and do anything... I was talking to one of the security people at work...
And he was just like "Okay, right now, if you had unlimited funds what would you do..."
I was like "Honestly?"
And she was like "Yeah."
And I was like, "I've heard that Chicago deep dish pizza is amazing. I'd probably drive and or fly to Chicago, no, I'd definitely drive take a little road trip in my little Honda Fit get a Chicago deep dish pizza from whatever best pizza joint walk around for a little bit, then drive back home... And go to sleep. And I'd buy like an audio book to listen to on the way there and back."
He's like "Really? That's it? No jets, and speed boats, and luxury cars and private islands"
I'm like... "I like pizza. I'd just look up the best pizza places and then go trying slices of pizza." Also he asked me this question just before lunch and I was hungry.
Honestly? I guess that's just who I really am. I'm not a glitz and glam kind of person.
I'm like my mom was, she believed in just second hand personal possessions and keep your money safe and sound in an investment place where there's all sorts of cameras and bankers watching over it and they tuck it in at night and pet it and make it feel warm and cozy in the bank.
And that's the kind of person I am. I know, it's no fun at all... Hey, I never said I was fun. Funny looking, maybe... But I'm not fun. I'm boring for the most part. Every now and then I crack a joke and try to be funny.
I mean look at Warren Buffet. He's no fun. He lives in a modest house in Omaha and he's one of the wealthiest people on the planet. I just don't get why everyone wants glitz and glam and fancy cars and big travel plans...
Honestly? Pizza. I mean, ideally sharing a pizza with someone special is probably my ultimate goal in life... But pizza... Is all you REALLY need.
If I had the choice between a drive in a super fancy luxury car and a slice of pizza?
I'd take the pizza. Hands down.
A box of Thin Mints is my second choice.
See now I just really want pizza.
Also, now I want another Thin Mint. Okay... I've eaten 1 more Thin Mint.
7 Thin Mints.
Anyways, so tonight I spent the night doing some chores around the house and making dinner and listening to a podcast on the search feature for LinkedIn and how it all works. It's always cool to hear people give presentations on things that people use every day in real life. So, now I know a little bit about the algorithm that powers the search feature on LinkedIn and why you get the results you get, and how the autocomplete thing that pops up and autosuggests things as you type actually works.
It's cool stuff! I can say that for sure.
I geek out about stuff like that.
