From point A to point B

Thoughts while waiting for a stoplight to turn green on my way home last night:

~If Starbucks and Walgreens joined forces, every single corner in every single city in the United States would offer coffee and prescriptions 24/7.
~I like how Walgreens has a drive-thru pharmacy.
~Why don't more people have drive thrus?
~Drive-thrus are a lifesaver for moms with kids in the car.
~We need a drive-thru grocery store.
~But then everyone would have drive thru service and it would get old and cause traffic jams.
~Why does that always happen? One thing becomes popular, then everyone does it.
~Or a designer or personality becomes popular, then their name is on everything.
~Like Rachel Ray
~Or Vera Wang. I really used to like her.
~Then I saw her name on a mattress. Really?? A Vera Wang mattress? Please.
~I admit that I am a bit curious and would try one out if I were furniture shopping though.
~I have her perfume.
~I need new perfume. I got that last bottle for Christmas 4 years ago.
~I need something original and simple.
~I like the magazine Real Simple.
~I would like my house to look like the pictures in that magazine.
~It is officially the first magazine I have ever been able to read cover to cover without getting bored.
~I wish I worked for Real Simple. I bet it would be fun.
~I bet most people who work for that magazine are not as organized and together as the magazine itself.
~Why are people so inefficient?
~Why am I so anal?

I love that the natural conclusion of a thread of your thinking leads you from a Grande Mocha Latte to being anal!

I am attracted to Rachel Ray.

It is so fun to backtrack your thoughts - or better yet a conversation in a large group of people.

And I love that you thought all of that while waiting for a red light!

I hate it when designers have to put their name on everything. Or just a store name. Like Gap. Every cute thing I find for Lynlee there says Gap on it. I hate that, she doesn't need the word Gap plastered all over her clothes.

Now, can you work your way BACK through your train of thought(s) to arrive at your original idea?? (I suffer insomnia quite often...and this is a game I play!)

WOW! You had all of those thoughts waiting for a green light?? HA! It probably happened within 10-15 seconds too!

I love word association. It is crazy how you can start with one thought and end up thousands of topics away but they were all connected by a transitioning thought!

Haha! I totally have a wandering train of thought like that! I'm always having to explain to Brian how I'm all of a sudden thinking about something completely different than what we were just talking about seconds before.
