Yesterday was a day that turned out much better than expected.
Let’s see if my photos are better than expected.
That cookie might be better than expected and that slogan was better than expected. Capturing two bunnies in a photo was better than expected. Also, the weather during our evening walk was better than expected because it had been humid earlier in the day. This photo of a big orange cat in a window was better than expected. If this sweet lost kitty is ever found, that would be better than expected. This typical still life in our neighborhood is better than expected.What my husband Michael said about this combination of restaurants was better than expected. He said it was Mex-Ken. His reaction to his own pun was better than expected because he hates puns unless he makes them. Then they’re not puns, they’re “shmuns.”Harley’s reactions to Joan are much better than expected. We thought we would never get over the loss of our beloved cat Oscar, but Joan has made everything much better than expected. If these three photos of Harley and Joan are better than expected, that’s because Michael took them, not me. I’m curious about things that are better than expected, in case you haven’t noticed. Michael’s homemade dinners are better than donuts, which might be better than expected for some. These National Days are better than expected so I think I’ll splurge and get away today by visiting my ex-sister-in-law, Deborah, whose dog Casey’s recovery from heartworms was better than expected.
When I searched for information about Brian Regan just now, I found out that he’s appearing at a great venue near me next week, which was better than expected. I just splurged on National Splurge Day and got two better-than-expected tickets for that show.
If Michael agrees to go with me, that will be better than expected.
What’s been better than expected for you?
Thanks to all who are reading this better-than-expected blog post, including YOU!
Please let Michael know I had to take my hands off the keyboard to give him two thumbs up for his shmun Mex-Ken, Ann. And then again for his three photos of Harley and Joan! That it will be 60 degrees and not 90 today when we all go to Polish Fest to celebrate Father’s Day weekend with kielbasa and pierogi is better than expected, Ann. A sweatshirt is easily added.
I love ‘shmun’ and will add this to my vernacular . I not a huge punster but have learned to embrace them in order to solve my weekly nyt crossword and that has turned out much better than expected.
I think you help focus on positive outlooks and make everything a bit lighter, which inevitably leads to better than expected. Something special in the ordinary happenings–that’s your gift to us!

Thank you for this expectedly great comment, Mark!
Great schmun! Fun pun. & Better than expected cat pics.
I miss Oscar still but Joan and Harley are more often in the frame together.
The day is always better than expected when you show up here, Maureen!
I think “shmun” is a neologism that should be more widely used. Michael’s was a great example and adding new words can turn out better than expected.
I think your comments are always better than expected, Chris, although my expectations are high!
