discovering that less is more

sometimes, multitasking is not a good idea. sometimes just relaxing and taking your time and enjoying what you're doing is the best choice.

case in point: you are making waffles on a sunday morning. experts now recommend not straying from your waffle maker post - especially not for engrossing tasks like e-mail - which may result in lost track of time and a burnt breakfast.

in case you didn't look closely enough, the waffle is still in the maker.

very clever

i just saw a woman look down at her shoe. the lace was untied. she tried to put her leg up on the chair to tie it, but the chair was too high for her (she's a senior citizen). so, she puts her foot back on the ground. she takes off the offending shoe. she bends over, picks up the shoe, puts it on the chair, and ties the laces. then puts the shoe back on the ground and slips her foot back into the shoe.

gotta give her credit for ingenuity. but not for proper facilitation of the shoe/foot attachment mechanism.
