BEST OF THE WEEKEND 9.15.17










Hello, and welcome to Best of the Weekend!

It's been three weeks since Junior Goo Shoes left for college.
Can I tell you it feels like it's been forever?
One thing I've really missed is talking to him everyday.
I've got hundreds of questions I'd like to ask him,
but I've been trying to keep my cellular distance.
So, when my phone rang the other day,
and it was JGS face-timing us, I was ecstatic!
True, he called to ask a question about doing laundry, 
but he ended up talking to us for about 30 minutes!
He is so happy, which makes us super happy!
Needless to say, it was the highlight of my week.
What was the best part of your week?
   


I'm ready to party, are you?
 We'd appreciate it if you'd follow your co-hosts!

MAY I HAVE TWO MINUTES OF YOUR TIME?




Ms. Toody Goo Shoes



May I have two minutes of your time?

Seriously, just two minutes.......
I promise that's all it will take to read this blog post.  
Really, really!

Depending on what you've got going on right now, 
that's either a big ask or no big deal. 

It's funny, isn't it, how sometimes, two minutes seems like two hours,
and other times it feels like two seconds.

Ms. Toody Goo Shoes
In fact, it seems to me, it's not all that often 
that two minutes actually feels like two minutes.

 

When two minutes seems like an eternity.......

There's a line for the bathroom, and you've really got to go.

The teacher says your oral presentation has be be at least two minutes.   

It's freezing outside, and you're waiting for the bus. 

Huffing and puffing through those last couple of minutes on the treadmill.

Texting your teen, and waiting for their answer.

Brushing your teeth according to label instructions for a full two minutes. 

Waiting for the elevator when you're late for an appointment.

Talking to someone you don't like, at a party. 

Waiting for your doctor to give her diagnosis.

Holding your breath under water, if you had to.

Sitting through commercials during your favorite show.  
 

Ms. Toody Goo Shoes



When two minutes doesn't really mean two minutes........

"I'll be ready in two minutes." 

The two-minute warning in a football game.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this train is being held in the station for just a couple of minutes. We'll be moving shortly."

"Your call will be answered in approximately two minutes."

"We'll have a table for you in just a couple of minutes." 

I'll just read for two more minutes and then turn out the light.

"It's only a two-minute walk."

"The doctor is running a couple of minutes behind."

 "Fill out this survey - it will only take two minutes."
Ms. Toody Goo Shoes
When two minutes is a bummer........

The boss says, "Can I see you for two minutes?"  

The DVR cuts off two minutes before the end of a show.

You set the timer on the oven for two minutes, walk out of the room, and come back five minutes later to burnt cookies. 

You're just two minutes late to the parking meter, and there's a ticket on the windshield.

You run inside for two minutes thinking you don't need an umbrella, and it's pouring when you come out.

The bus comes two minutes early, and you're still parking your car.

It's 12:02 a.m. and your name is Cinderella.


Ms. Toody Goo Shoes


When two minutes really matters.......

Timing soft-boiled eggs.

When two minutes are really awkward.......

The realization that it's Moonlight that won Best Picture, not La La Land.


Ms. Toody Goo Shoes


When two minutes pay benefits....
Finding time during the day for a brief meditation.

Resting your tired dogs for even a couple of minutes.


When two minutes are super-productive...  

Setting the timer, and speed-cleaning the kitchen.


Ms. Toody Goo Shoes


When two minutes are really scary........

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moves the Doomsday clock two minutes closer to disaster.


Ms. Toody Goo Shoes

When two minutes is way too short....... 

At the airport, saying goodbye to someone you love.

Your contractions are two minutes apart, and you're stuck in traffic.

You give yourself two more minutes at the pool before going back to the hotel room to get ready to catch your flight. 

You've got two minutes to run to the ladies room before the movie starts.

Hitting the snooze-button for two just more minutes ⏰......  

You give yourself two minutes to sit down and do nothing. 


AND.......

In two minutes, you'll be saying goodbye to your child on college move-in day (Sob!!). 


Ms. Toody Goo Shoes
I hope you found that reading this blog post was two minutes well-spent.
