What happens when the power cord is gone

Live from my journal, the only 'computer' I had at the time...


Twice a week, I work from my 'window office' - a small table at a major coffee house across from the kiddos' school.  We can debate on if this is a true coffee house or not later.

Usually, I get a lot of work done, almost more than when I am in my cube, but today, my computer failed me and wouldn't boot up.  Of course, the power cord is gone - who knows where as we have 5 laptops in the house with different power cords so it should not vanish by I digress (typical, I know and yes, I have found it since...at the office).  Back to my point, due to the technology fail, I got to sit back with my decaf green tea and bottled water - leave me alone, our lakes are down so the facet water tastes like dirt & I will recycle, or use it as a bug killing jar, I promise - and observe.  Now, I have no doubt that I do ridiculous things people observe all the time so this is in no way judgement.  Everyone should be happy with themselves, and it takes all types...

1. A lime green Lamborghini - because you don't stand out enough in that car, let's make it lime green down to the rims; the rims really looked cool.
2. A women letting her cockapoo drive her BMW with the paws on the wheel and everything
3. No less than 20 GQ wannabes each hour.  You know the type, shiny sunglasses wearing the latest 'hipster' clothes that aren't hipster as 19 others are wearing them.
4. People just coming off a run looking like they are about to pass out (it is VERY hot here) but holding onto that extra hot latte as if it was gold. Been there.
5. That guy - in the perfectly ironed shirt, tailored pants and flip flops. Oh dear, he just drove away in a Prius.
6. Other moms patiently waiting in their window office for their kiddo no doubt making mental lists of all the things they could be getting done if not there BUT loving their children so much they wait.
7. The 3rd Bible study group this week.
8. The smiley Batista whose mind I blew by ordering a decaf tea instead of a black double shot drip.
9. SMU/Texas/A&M/OU/OSU fans, those who know recognize that I don't need to say anything else about that.
10. Those people post workout who are still in full make-up and perfect hair.  Really? Maybe I am jealous because I end workouts looking like death by whatever.
11. All black with white shoes or all white with black shoes.  Reminds me I need to polish my red shoes.
12. A Priest from the parish across the street that the Batista seems to know.  Very cool guy, he stops at some of the Bible study groups even though they are not Catholic.
13. A grandpa and his son that I see every week.  Last week, Grandpa used me to teach the boy about wireless technology and being able to work from anywhere.  It reminds me of the younger kiddo's trips with his Grandma to said coffee shop that have continued to this day.  Even in Paris.

I could go on, goodness knows I can talk, by why?  My point is that I love people - all people.  It takes all of us to make this world work so let's all rock our inner person & have fun with life.  This coming from the mom in the window office with a white skirt & aqua shoes scribbling in a journal instead of using her computer - what a nut job.

Update this morning...two men just walked by and I heard one say to the other "She's here every week -normally inside, she must love this weather today."  I am on the list too:)
