And YOU Thought Chili and Blackened Catfish Didn't Mix !

By
Real Estate Agent with New Home Hunters of Fort Worth and Tarrant County

OK.  Try and follow along with me here.  We're going on a journey... you and me.

I just put on my hip boots.  My "waders" I guess you would call them.  And then, in my imagination, I shrunk myself, and climbed into my own brain.  Yes, I mean "inside" my brain.

I'm pretty small now.  And I am sloshing around... trying to keep from slip'slidin' on those crevices that we see on pictures of the brain.  I would hate to fall down and get all that gooey brain-stuff all over me, but that's the chance I guess I take, here.

I'm just lookin' around in here... trying to figure out what, if anything, is going with this gooey mess I call my brain... and why things happen like they do.

It's prolly a lost cause, but I just had to try.

Ya see... I just read another post a few minutes ago.  It was short and sweet.  About a Chili Cook-off.

And BOOM!  Like a bolt of lightening, my brain grabs my attention, and yanks it away from the "chili"... and goes right straight to the last remaining catfish fillet I have sitting in the fridge.

I have this incredible urge, now.  Almost unstoppable. 

The powers of the universe are pulling me to get up from my computer, go to the fridge, and pan-fry my one last catish fillet.  Blackened, Cajun catfish.  Yum!

Why does my mind DO that to me?  Gosh, I wish I knew.

OKAY!  It's time for you to confess your inner thoughts. Choose one of these two.  Either reach into your vast compendium of psychological and culinary knowledge... and tell me why this happened.  Should I try and stop it, or should I encourage it further.

Or TWO... do YOU have times when something... something very innocent happens... and it acts as a stimulus, and zooms you away from whatever you were thinking... and plants your mind right in the middle something else totally unrelated?

I just shared my strange story.  If you've had something similar happen to you... I invite you to please share yours.

Dear Karen,

Seems like you were inspired subconsciously and your stomach was inspired to eat some chili!!!  All the ingredients were there all you had to do was prepare them.  :)   Glad you took some time off for yourself from your busy day.  

Warm Regards,

Yolanda, now that's what we need for the boys... a Group called Bratender... LOL.  Sorry, I just could not resist.

Anyhoo... ActiveRain Group: Bartender, Make it a Double is Chris Ann Cleland's group.  I don't know if you are familiar with Chris Ann, but she is one awesome Realtor... and Blogger.  She is in Northern Virginia, and does a marvelous job with her listings, and all of the linked-posts she has written to market her neighborhoods.  I very much recommend her and her group.

I have to admit, Catfish and Chili do not seem to match, and then I start thinking about what really does, and I get lost again.

Haha. Cute post Karen Ann. I think when you're mind gets stuck on obsessing over something - best to find a way to feed that urge. I'm thinking chocolate chip cookies. ;)

I often find my mind zooming from one thought to the next, and I'll finally think, "How the heck did I get HERE?"  And then of course I have to share the zaniest of my mind with whoever happens to be near me. 

I think it's awesome the way our brains work.
