I like circular. What comes around, goes around and what you give, you get back. Rectangular things are better than trapezoids, but not better than squares. I suppose I’m a little obsessed with order, though you wouldn’t know it looking at my house. Tidying up is at the bottom of my list of things to do.
Order in the way of plans are also important to me. When things go pear-shaped I get stressed. Not that I need to stick to a schedule – it’s more for my kids than me. Both of them are obsessed with schedules.
Today will be a busy day. If things don’t go as planned it will result in a late night.
This post sucks.
But that’s Stream of consciousness for you. Pear-shaped indeed. Show, don’t tell, right? Haha.

I see the directions for the one for today and went to read back to others but I don’t see where the others’ links are that have participated in the past, so I can read them. Maybe lack of sleep?

Sorry, I might not have been clear in my last comment – you need to look at the comments in my posts entitled “The Friday Reminder…” Each one will have 20 or so links in the comments, apart from today’s of course. 🙂

Hi Linda, It looks like life comes in all shapes and sizes. I rather like pears, but circle days can be cool. I don’t mind being a little square at times. Thanks for a great topic. LHN

This post does not suck! I prefer circles. Then squares. Then stars. I don’t care for other shapes at all. Nice straight lines. No angles at all, but if there hafta be any, let em be right angles.

If I have to deal with angles I’d rather them be odd – more of a challenge. Hey, we could make some sort of psychological study out of this. 😀

Pear-shaped plans and schedules. I’ve never thought of life, every day, as a shape. But now that you’ve said this, I think each day has its own shape, and sometimes ends up with no real shape at all…just a blob.

I hate pears! Bleh! Cantelope too! pfft – Order (organization) and squares – now that I can get behind! Think along the lines of Tetris, all squares are the same size and can be stacked anyhow you want but in the end they all fit nicely together!
I’ll go back to my cubicle now, trying to think of what I will post next to upset the masses. ;-P

All I can think of when I see the phrase “pear-shaped” is the TV show “The Thin Blue Line” with Rowan Atkinson. DI Grim, a bombastic character who heads the detectives, is always yelling about things going pear-shaped…

@SandysJar, I was struck by the coincidence of both of us Sandras commenting on Linda’s post at almost the exact moment. (In fact, if I hadn’t kept tweaking my comment–which was not stream-of-consciousness, so I got to tweak it–we might have made our comments at the same time of 11:43.)
