wow......

My girlfriend's mom came in town yesterday and decided that she was going to stay an extra day. Seems like a normal thing, coming from Madison and spending extra time in Chicago, doing some shit you can't do in the cheesy north. She didn't do this. She sat in my lady's condo and read all day. You stayed an extra day for this? Really?

None of this mattered to me, nothing. Until I was told I could come over for dinner. Sounds great, dinner consisted of grilled cheese and bacon from the Melrose, a corner restaurant. Now don't take this the wrong way, it's one of my favorite meals, but if my mom was there all day I'd like something homemade. Just surprises me.

Today at work I had a conversation with a guy about his marriage, how he copes with all the small things. He's been with his wife for ten years, five dating and five married and he said "As long as the big things are there the little things coast by." This was great advice, and coming from the source it's the most shocking thing that happened to me.

The gist, the little things can be annoying but the big picture is your life.....
