The flower that continues to bloom: Paradox

Paradox

When there is bread left in the bag, they leave the bag open, causing the remaining bread to go stale.

When the bread is gone, they carefully seal up the bag and leave it on the counter, full of air.

I'm not kidding or exaggerating, and this hasn't just happened once. It happens repeatedly. And they look at me funny when I roll my eyes and tear my hair out.

Are they mentally deficient?

Are they "gaslighting" me?

Are they ever going to move out?

What's the blog title about?

In 2010 I came across a series of vintage booklets entitled "Amy Vanderbilt Success Program for Women" (copyright 1965) at a thrift store. I didn't look inside any of them: the titles and cover art were funny enough that I had to have them. And it didn't hurt that I got four booklets for 25 cents. My favorite was "How to be a more interesting woman." Who could pass that up?

A few days later I started to look through the book for a laugh, and found myself almost immediately absorbed by the author's wisdom and wit. She made some good points . . . she made a lot of good points. This was something I could use, for who doesn't want to be more interesting? And here in my hands was a surprisingly progressive manual on how to do it.

So, in my newfound quest to be more interesting, I thought I'd use this forum to try things out and reflect on my efforts. In short, I hope to become the kind of person that continues to flower and grow.
