Never in all of my crazy dreams (more on that is a second), did I ever think that I, Angie Good, would identify with a talking tree.
Yep. That's me. The girl whose stressful day made her feel very Groot-ish.
Who's Groot? He is the talking tree on "Guardians of the Galaxy."
In the first movie, he saves his friends. (That would be a spoiler and I'm a little sorry.) Anyway...Groot "dies" but really his big-tree-self perishes while a small shoot of him lives.
The talking raccoon re-pots Groot (where does Rocket, the raccoon, even get a pot?). Rocket, then, carries Groot in to the sequel.
In the sequel, there's an intense scene and Chris Pratt's character shouts, "Buckle-up Groot!!!" and then next scene is Groot sitting in his seat snacking his stress away. Does a baby tree shoot have stress? Not on this planet...but being shot at while on another planet, I suppose that is stressful.
Today at work, yours truly forgot that a spreadsheet was due. Not forgot-forgot. Just sort of forgot until 11 a.m.
As I sat re-reading the spreadsheet entries (I double- and triple-check things...kinda my tragic flaw), I munched on a bag of raw veggies. Carrots and yellow pepper and celery. Mmmmm... While I was stress-snacking, I said to myself, "I am Groot." It was at this point that I remembered the below pictured scene and I laughed and laughed.
Funny that my coworkers stayed away today...probably all the veggie-crunching and nervous laughter.
P.S. The crazy dreams I have...
1. me accidentally eating gluten and getting sick
2. me drinking diet pop
3. me wearing pajamas while lost in the city
4. me stuck at work for the weekend withonly bagels for nourishment
True story.
While other people are dreaming about getting chased by Big Foot, yours truly is having food nightmares.
