do you ever decide you aren't going to do something, and not really have a reason? i do. all the time. sometimes it's because i have a really short attention span (i blame it on my job. the kids are rubbing off on me), and sometimes i really do have others things going on. most of the time though, i'm just not in the mood. i realized today that i don't even know what that means exactly. as in "i'm not in the mood to do the dishes right now." duh. doing the dishes sucks. i hate doing the dishes more than pretty much every other household chore. i am NEVER in the mood to do the dishes. is anybody? how about "i'm not in the mood to go to work today." okay, bad example. i genuinely love my job and have no occasion to utter these words, but you get my point. we often let our mood, a fluid concept in the best of circumstances, dictate our behavior. if that's the plan, i think the mood ring is poised for a comeback (let's just hope it has a better plan than a certain pop star who shall remain nameless). i had a roommate once who told me she didn't date because she wasn't in the mood. she was a genius.
best.
excuse.
ever.
who's gonna argue with that one? no one, that's who. so i hereby inform you that i am officially adopting the phrase, specifically as an answer to any question directly or indirectly relating to my current relationship status. that's right folks, adopting. i think i'll let it call me mom ;)
