It's incredible how powerful one sentence can be.  For instance:

"My three-year-old son brought me my anti-depressants, asked me to take them and come outside and play."

or

"Its four in the morning, I'm still sitting at Denny's smoking, and I just now realized that it's because going to sleep means having to wake up tomorrow."

These are just a couple of the sentences I found over at OneSentence.org, a blog where you are asked to tell your stories, no matter how insignificant or profound, in one brief sentence.  Oh, and if going to the site is too much work, you can actually follow the updates on twitter.

So, are you going to share your one sentence story?

Some days, a really good tweet on twitter can really lighten up my mood. However, almost every time I am wanting to know how, where and why the heck the twit was written. I am yearning for the story behind the tweet. So I thought, why don't I explain myself every now and then.

My latest tweet (in case you don't follow me, shame on you) says:

There is a fine line between lazy and resourceful. I walk this line daily and usually with ramen.

Since the boy left for the summer, I have fallen back on my bachelorette ways and eaten what should probably be considered an illegal amount of ramen. Good ol' ramen, it's always there for me. I guess you could say it's my version of chocolate and ice cream. I've never claimed to be your average woman. (I say woman now because I'm turning 30 in a few days and damnit, I've earned it!)

So last night I made myself said bowl o' ramen and was walking back to my bedroom when I realized I needed to take a trip to the bathroom too. Thought process: either take the ramen back to my room first and walk back to the bathroom or set the ramen on the sink while I go, thus saving myself a trip.

First argument: is walking from my bedroom to my bathroom really considered a "trip" seeing as how I live in an apartment in Brooklyn which, if you've lived on this planet for more than a minute, you know can't be all that big.

Second Argument: Am I being lazy or resourceful? This relies heavily on whether or not the walk from place to place is considered a "trip".

I decided it was in fact a trip and chose to set the ramen on the sink. However, then I had to figure out how to wash my hands without getting soap into the ramen.

So in the end, I might have just created more work for myself...or maybe just put a little too much thought into the entire thing.

And that, my friends, is a "trip" inside my ridiculous mind.

You're welcome.
