Snickerdoodle Mochi-Pie

"You know, they were all snickerdoodle mochi-pie." My friend Glitter was explaining how her friend Jen was, you know, making out, all in each others face, all snickerdoodle mochi-pie with her girlfriend and consequently missed the fact that they were playing a song for the wedding party and not for other guests to jump out on the floor. It was the bridal party dance and they were just guests. And consequently, in the snickerdoodling they missed the cue, ended up on the dance floor and in the way of the photograph. "I'm just not like that. I'm not a big PDA person." I'm the same way. And so are so many people I know. And so it this blog.

The thing is in the last few weeks, stuff has been happening to people and because they're not all snickerdoodle mochi-pie about it, I haven't known always what has been motivating their actions. And believe it or not, they don't have to tell me - though it has caused some confusion among other people. But here are some of the things they're not snickerdoodling about: A couple of friends have received their pink slip (one from a company she's been with for 8 years), one has a really sick kid, a few are having serious relationship problems, more are having health problems, some are having general family issues, another hates her job.

There are all of those things that simmer beneath the surface, and influence decisions people make. And sometimes we don't know that. And sometimes you have to start each day a little more gently or patiently because someone didn't snickerdoodle mochi-pie in your face to let you know what's going on.
