And you can quote me on that.

Blank blank blank.  The mind, she's gone blank. Have you heard me whine about this before?  I think you have!  If I worked outside of the home, today would be a day I called in "sick" so that I could just have a mental health day.  Do you ever do that?  I miss those days so.  Elaine has been torturing me mentally lately.  She's an interesting one that daughter of mine.  And I'm not sure how many more of these days I can take without some sort of break.  I found myself recently losing my shit to Mike, asking "how many more times do I have to say the same thing before it clicks?  If you could tell me it's only like 20 more, then I could probably make it!"  Unfortunately, kids, they are a wee bit unpredictable.  Rude.

So, I'm cheating.  I found this writing prompt thingy, and pressed the button a few times to get ideas for what to write today.  And I found a good one - after several weird ones.  (Like, 'if your tears could talk, what would they say?'  Wha?) 

Today's Philosophical Phriday is favorite quotes.  And I'm thinking I'll have more in my head throughout the day, so perhaps I'll even update this as my brain begins functioning.  You know, like after several cups of coffee.  So, I'll share some favorite quotes of mine, and you share yours and we'll all learn a little something!

A few of my favorite quotes:

• Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.  - Dr. Seuss
• It's a wild world, it's hard to get by just upon a smile. - Cat Stevens
• That's what she said.  - Michael Scott, The Office
• Allllll righty then. - Ace Ventura, Pet Detective
• Jane, you ignorant slut. - SNL, Point - Counterpoint Skit, Jane Curtin and Dan Aykroyd
• I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want.  If that makes me a bitch, okay.  - Madonna
• Brilliant!  Don't hide that talent away in a bushel basket. - Jim Gaffigan, comedian
• It took me like three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip.  It's probably the best drawing I've ever done. - Napoleon Dynamite
• I don't even own a gun, let alone many guns to necessitate a gun rack. - Wayne, Wayne's World
• Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children. - Sam Levenson
• When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts.  A mother always thinks twice, once for herself and once for her child.  - Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty
• Once there was a tree...And she loved a little boy.  - The Giving Tree,  by Shel Silverstein (my all time favorite book)

there are so many quotes for me but the few I love are:
"Keep you head up girl, because there are so many that would give anything to see you fall"

"life is weird, and we all are weird, so when we find someone who's weirdness is compatible with ours we call that love"

"travel far and do great things with your life; but always remain like E.T. and never forget to phone home"

[Melle Mel]

Favorite Quotes:

"Comparisons cause cancer of the soul" I like that one because it's so true. Compare yourself to others and you'll never be satisfied. There will always be those with more, and always those with less.

"That what interests in interesting"

"That's what she said" - another favorite
"Don' be jealous, you know i've been chatting online with babes all day" - kip, napolean

"when i see him, I am going to punch him in the weiner" the dad from Juno

And on a personal note - just to mess with me and make me cry (thereby pointing out my ridiculous sensitivity) - my husband likes to read The Giving Tree to me aloud from time to time. he can usually get about 2 lines in before the waterworks and hysterical laughing at myself begins.
