Yesterday I was weeding the gardens - now there's a statement you can picture. After 20 days of continuous rain (okay maybe not 20 - but I did tell Jeff "I think we need to start thinking about an ark"), wedding was top on the list. OMG! The wedding is definately on my mind but I really did mean weeding. Isn't it amazing how 1 little typo can change the whole world - big difference between wedding and weeding, right?
Anyway, as I'm weeding I notice dandelions - but very, very small dandelions the leaves, or greens, were only about 1 inch long and the whole plant only 2 1/2 to 3" around. From there I remembered a visit to a quilt shop - remember the famous Shop Hop Mom, Lindsey and I went on - that had mini's. These where quilts that where only 12 - 14 inches" in size, more like a wall hanging. But look like a quilt, just super small. Where talking extremely small pieces - and you can be very, very sure that I will never attempt these!
Then I thought....... about the supersize meals, TV's, refridgerators, furniture, beds (remember when everyone had double beds, now it's queen or king) chicken breasts - have you noticed how they keep getting bigger and bigger, 1/2 a chicken breast can now feed a family of four!! Don't get me started on this one - watch Food Inc. Then come talk about chicken breasts.
I admit, I love my 40"tv. I can watch it from almost anywhere in my house. Why?
So, what's up with the supersized life? Is our eyesight getting so bad that we can't see things in a smaller size. How about remembering when getting a hamburger didn't mean a 1/4 pound of beef, or when ordering a drink was a 8 oz glass, not 1/2 a gallon. Do you really need a 1/2 gallon??
Just don't touch my tv!!! It's staying right where it is.......
