It's about Everything

My dear friend Rebecca called me last week and before I could even get out Hello I could hear her chuckling. "What's so funny?" I asked. She said, "I just had a major Seinfeld moment". She proceeded to tell me how she just doesn't understand how a tissue, not even big enough to contain the snot from a good nose blow, can multiply into a million pieces in the washer and dryer. Something to ponder, I told her.

If you are reading this and can't relate to the above blip I kindly ask you to go frequent someone else's blog for a little while. You are always welcome to return if you wish but if you can't hang with the Seinfeld references then this is not the post for you. I make a Seinfeld reference daily..or at least several times per week. I have not yet today, unless you consider the story I recounted above. Yesterday it was the Soup Nazi when talking to a friend about the way she was treated at a local lunch spot. Last week it was George's co-workers calling him "Coco" when he went on a rampage and started swinging his arms around like an Ape. How many times have I said "Newman!" in that squinty eyed, Jerry-esque tone when something goes wrong. Seinfeld is everywhere and for a show that touted itself for being about nothing, it's everything.

I cannot properly describe how many times I have told my mom a funny story about the kids or how I handled something having to do with the kids and she regularly retorts "It's like a Seinfeld Episode!". It's so true! I feel like half the time I am living in a Seinfeld episode. How about the day my dog "died" and I told Mack that she was gone only to have her "come back to life" that afternoon. Or the time we went to visit Santa Clause and just before snapping the picture Santa decided to pop out his dentures and scare my son half to death! Yes, that's the same Santa who proceeded to tell Peter about the "Hookers" at the Park Place Hotel back in the day. All of these little stories to tell and remember and they are not "nothing". They are the fibers that weave together to create the beautiful tapestry that is our everything.
