I draw cards for fun sometimes.  I have rune cards and medicine cards, there’s a million different kinds of cards but for me the bottom line is, if you ask for information you’ll likely get it.  Anyhoo, I drew a medicine card that talked about being more playful in my life.  Um, ok, point taken.  Although I wasn’t sure what I was going to do about it.  I’m probably not going to become a mime anytime soon.

So the next day I’m doing some Xmas shopping and there’s a bin of gloves on sale at the cash register while I wait my turn.  Being a Canuck, you simply can’t have too many gloves because they’ll sometimes get into a fight and one will run away. Or they get eaten by monsters while you sleep.  It’s like socks.

It was the electric blue gloves that caught my eye.  And *immediately* the Editor or Mom voice or maybe it’s the Uber-Practical-Alien-That-Lives-In-My-Head said, “nope you should get black because they’ll go with everything”. 

And I thought, “Screw that! I’m going to be more playful, i’m getting these electric blue babies.”  And I *love* them.

So on the weekend I was digging through the closet to get Angus decked out for playing in the snow. I found 4 pairs of black gloves that I own that haven’t yet been eaten by monsters.  I think I need to put the uber-practical alien in it’s place more often.
