Silence is golden...ok as you get older it is...

The definition of Silence as stated by Wikipedia.....

Silence is a relative or total lack of sound




.....So I get to thinking about this here phenomenon Silence, and wonder exactly what the heck it is. Because I certainly have not experienced it in my life all too much. I mean I work retail, have a family, a husband, a dog, a cat, another extremely loud cat, and now 2 puppies....so in essence one could calculate or use deductive reasoning and be safe in assuming I have a severe lack of silence in my life.

With this new puppy, and now puppies as of tonight, I really dont get much sleep. Its been almost a week and I feel like any grown woman with a brand new baby. Im tired and wish for sleep. I find 15 minutes of relaxation to be pure heaven. I find work, as ironic as this is, to be my safe haven. Its the one place, again pure irony, to be the one sane place I can run too. One would find it EXTREMELY sad that one would want to get up to go to work, look forward to it, count the hours until said person goes to work, and cherishes every moment said person is at work. All around it is extremely sad...and purely hilarious.

So right now as I type this I am sitting here in silence. Pure heaven I tell you. The puppies are here sleeping together on a towel on the top of my desk. The only noise I hear is the tapping of these keys on the keyboard. Occasionally one of them is having a nightmare and I hear a whimper or two, but thats it.....ahhh pure heaven.

So back to this definition of Silence......

Here is another excerpt of silence found on Wikipedia that immediately makes me laugh.....
In modern society, especially in the western society, when people are meeting and talking to each other, people often start talking nonsense to skip moments of silence.

So you ask, why is it so funny? Well that whole sentence right there drums up my relationship with my partner in crime, we will call her "Beth" tonight ( for reasons only she will know). The two of us really cant be quiet long enough for our own good. Most people who listen in on our conversations get so extremely confused they walk away (which I wholeheartedly encourage...). Its funny. Our rambling only makes sense to us. Which quite honestly probally is in the best interest of the general population. Its safer that society doesnt know what us two knuckle-heads are coming up with next.

And honestly with her, I dont actively look for silence. Its honestly hilarious to see what comes outta our mouths next. Its never a dull moment in the pharmacy, thats for sure.

As I try to think of a good and honest way to end this "talk" of silence, I am interupted by the sound of whining.....

Ahh off to "mommy" duty!
