If You Give a Mom a Moment: The Big Dilemma

The Big Dilemma

When I got home from the grocery store yesterday, I had a HUGE decision to make:

Do I eat these first?

Or this?

I went back and forth for a while, but decided to start with the salty, oniony goodness of the Funyuns, and end with the sweet, chocolatey yumminess of the Twix. My stomach is happy!

Kayla said...: I am one that does not love funyuns! I would have gone for the chocolate. But I agree that having something salty followed by something sweet is delicious.; September 20, 2008 at 9:37 AM
Romney Family said...: I would have chosen the salty first also. I can never have dessert before dinner. I always have to have the sweet last!! Glad you enjoyed it all!!!; September 20, 2008 at 10:15 AM
Kristina P. said...: You know, I'm not a huge Funyun lover. If they were right in front of me, and someone shoved them in my face, I mean, I couldn't say no of course, but I don't actively seek them out.

The Twix is a different story.; September 20, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Adrienne said...: I love funyuns! Definitely a good choice to eat those first. I also love those PB twix. Mmmm...good taste you have.; September 20, 2008 at 2:11 PM
Liz said...: mm those look good. You chose wisely save the chocolate (best for last!)

Brooke said...: I'm one who can't wait for the chocolate, but who also needs something sweet for the end. I probably would have eaten a bite of the twix (YUM), then eaten all of the funyons(YUM), then back to all of the rest of the twix. Darn those difficult decisions we all have to make!; September 21, 2008 at 7:53 AM
Jessie said...: I'm not a fan of the Funyuns, but I do enjoy Junior Mints with Popcorn, or Sour Patch Kids with Popcorn. Mmmm. My favorite candy bar is still Snickers, but I've added Rees's Sticks to my list. So yummy.; September 22, 2008 at 9:16 AM

It is a waste of time and energy to worry about what others are thinking about you. because... You can never know exactly what another person is thinking...AND, the wost part is...they are usually not thinking about you at all. They are too busy worrying about what others are thinking about them. So, the truth is, all those terrible thoughts you thought they might be thinking about you, are your own thoughts about yourself. Better spend your energy worrying about that...or, you just might convince somebody to think what you were afraid they might be thinking after all. ~Portia Nelson

"When we honestly ask which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not-knowing, not-curing, not-healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness ... makes it clear that whatever happens in the external world, being present to each other is what really matters." ~Henri Nouwen

"...People need to talk, and often a willingness to sit and listen is the greatest kindness one person can offer to another. One of the first lessons of childhood is to be wary of strangers, and while this is good counsel to guard against the world's very small nefarious element, it also teaches us to block out the large majority of those who just have something on their mind they'd like to say. We are taught to be suspicious, especially of anyone who might not look like us or share our beliefs. By the time we reach adulthood, many have perfected the art of isolation, of being careful, of not listening in the name of safety. But the truth is that we need to hear other people, all people, especially in those moments when we don't know exactly where we're going ourselves." ~Ann Patchett

"Sometimes, I imagine my own life as a series of snapshots taken by some omniscient artist who is just keeping track - not interfering or saying anything, just capturing the moment for me to look back at it again later....This is the way it is, the photograph says, and I nod my head in appreciation. The power of art is in that nod of appreciation, though sometimes I puzzle nothing out, and the nod is more a shrug. No, I do not understand this one, but I see it. I take it in. I will think about it. If I sit with this image long enough, this story, I have the hope of understanding something I did not understand before. And that, too, is art, the best art." ~Dorothy Allison
