Anatomy of a random statement

Sunday. After church. We are on our way to run some errands and then get some lunch. First stop is Old Navy to return a dress I had bought earlier that week.

The car is quiet, music softly playing in the background. Traffic humming by.

Out of nowhere, I blurt out,”I wonder what we will do with the dogs when we go on trips after we move?”

Seems innocent enough right? Maybe for us ladies. We know how we are.

Paul gave me a brief look that was gone in an instant, but I knew in that instant that he had the thought, “where in the world did that come from?”

So I mentally traced it back. Followed the path of the thoughts that jump from lilypad to lilypad in the pond that is my mind. Then I had no choice but to explain it to him so he didn’t think I was crazy. #pointless #weallknowImcrazy

(backstory point #1)
When I was at Old Navy purchasing the dress earlier that week I had a coupon for 30% off and didn’t’ realize until I was standing IN LINE that it only worked if you had an ON credit card. So whaddaya know, I applied for a ON credit card. It was mostly because I was *cough* buying just a few things and I wanted to get an additional 10% coupon on top of the 30%.

(backstory point #2)
We use a Southwest Airlines credit card for EVERYTHING and then just pay it off every month. That way we get TONS of points for flights.

Ok here is my thought process…..

We are on our way to Old Navy.

I wonder if we should start using the Old Navy credit card for things now. 

There isn’t an airport close to where we are moving that flies Southwest. No point in continuing to earn points if we won’t use them after we move.  

Snap! we are MOVING. And we have (or will have) three dogs when Chloe girl comes back to live with us. I wonder if that is going to be OK? It was tough to find a place to rent with three dogs here, what about when we move?

WHY do we have three dogs?

Who has three dogs????? No one, that’s who.

Ugh. At least we don’t have four dogs.

I know a lady at work who has four dogs. 

That lady works with the lady who watches our dogs when we go out of town. We gotta take the dogs over to her house before we leave next week. I need to call her. 

What happens when we take trips after we move? Who will watch the dogs then???????????

I blurt out,”I wonder what we will do with the dogs when we go on trips after we move?”

And there you have it. I love womens brains. Spiderwebs of awesomeness.
