DISCOVERY #1: Pinkberry is a fantastic place to get frozen yogurt. Hello? Why didn't I realize this before?
It's frozen yogurt, not ice cream, so I can eat as much as I want, with as many topics as I want, and not gain weight.
DISCOVERY #2: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. There's nothing like hanging around a mother who doesn't believe in drinking (so to speak) to make one's mouth water for wine, beer, cocktails...moonshine...whatever!
I find myself sipping my water at meals and gazing adoringly at the people in the booth next to us drinking who-knows-what. I just want to lean over and say, "I'll pay you $50 for a sip of whatever that is."
DISCOVERY #3: I am a blogger. I've been having internet issues for the past few days and I have become increasingly on edge because of it. With my limited grasp of technology, and with G's input, I think our issues are due to living in an apartment where there are a trillion wi-fi and cell phone signals competing for atomic space or something. But lately my internet signal keeps dropping and I haven't been able to blog or read other blogs and then it hit me: this has gone from a hobby to a habit. Today I bit all my nails off and finally yanked the cat 5 cable out of G's X-box and plugged in straight into the laptop. I'm sitting cross-legged on the floor with the computer perched on an ottoman and I don't care. I will be having my morning coffee down here if it means I can resume my virtual life again.

DISCOVERY #4: Someone has been reading this blog and wrote a book about it:
I expect royalties.
The third season of Downton Abbey starts tonight and I can't even wait. If I still lived on the East Coast I would have seen it by now. **sigh** That's ok, I'll take this instead:
I have a similar blogger identity - or maybe I come and go as to how intensely I want to do it. Most of the time I am motivated to post things because we have no family in 1000 miles. But it also helps now to have about 6 1/2 years of posts and it feels like a wonderful scrapbook that took so little effort to create.
ReplyDeleteLove this post. Can't wait to visit again. I expect non-caloric yogurt in our future AND pretty mixed drinks!
