gelato
If you're going to have cupcakes at a wedding reception, you might as well go for gelato after. Kinda funny that the guy serving us gelato now knows us by name. Perhaps we go for gelato a little too often? Nah......
Falling Wesson Oil
Beware shelvers continuing to shelve wesson oil on rickety leaning shelves.
Am I starting a new fashion trend: oil-spotted jeans!?!
Switches
We've lived in this house for over 9 years. Still have to stop and think which light switch powers which light.
Groceries
I learned something today:
1. I'm so grateful for The Hubby's help in bringing the bags of groceries in from the car.
2. I must be watchful where said Hubby places those bags of groceries - one got lost today.
3. Don't call the store to try to track down misplaced bags of groceries until you've looked everywhere The Hubby might have put the bag of groceries.
Age
Thinking today about some friends of ours: She is only 5 years younger than I am, barely. Her youngest daughter is 16, our oldest granddaughter is nearly 18.
That either makes me an older mother, a younger grandmother or nearly ready for that walker. Can I have one with pedals (like my bicycle), please?
(Thinking also about that word: forsake. So grateful for the knowledge that there will always be that One Being who won't ever forsake me...)
Movies
Saw two great movies today: "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and "Salt". Liked them both.
Would love to have that Rolls that Nicholas Cage had in the movie. Wouldn't mind being as slender as Angelina.
Maui
I started off counting down the days. Now I'm wondering if we'll ever get there.
Finally got the paper yesterday from our friend. (This is after the first lady refused to return our calls, our friend said he'd help us, then he got fired, but eventually said he'd get a friend - who is still employed - to get the Marriott discount for us.) Read the fine print: it expires 3 days before we are to leave. Still have those non-refundable airplane tickets.
Are we going to celebrate our 40th at home? We don't have a beach!!
Downhill
Downhill is good. Could someone please drop me and my bike off at the top so we only have to do the downhill?
Quiet
The house has a different quiet to it when we're both here. When I'm here alone, it's an emptier quiet. Like the fuller quiet better.
gelato
So, walking into our favorite gelato place, gave a sigh of relief that it wasn't the same guy on duty as last night. Wouldn't want it to get out that we went for gelato two nights in a row!!
floor
Somehow, Sunday seems more like Sunday when I've had a chance to vacuum the floor on Saturday. (Saturday is a special day, it's the day we get ready for Sunday.....)
Saturday night: Draper Days
Dinner out with some friends, fireworks at the park, temps in the 90's: it must be Draper Days in July!
Heard This
I heard this yesterday: there are always three sides to a story.
Yours
Mine
Reality
I'll keep that in mind (mine, that is.) You can keep it in yours if you like.
Repentance
I told someone today I was doing "preventive repentance". Probably much better to just behave in the first place so I don't need to do any repenting at all. Could I ever get to that point?
Daughter
Happy Birthday (33 years) to my daughter. Daughters are a fun way to end a family.
(Till the grandchilluns come along. Is there really an "end" to a family?)
Marshmallows
Marshmallows roasted on a skewer over the burner of the gas stove in the kitchen somehow lack the essence so evident (and so necessary) when roasted over a real fire.
Maui
We found out yesterday that we've lost our "in" for the hotel room for Maui. Our airline tickets are non-refundable. What to do.....
Books from the library
It's funny: I start to feel a bit insecure when I only have one or two books out from the library. Get too many and I start to feel pressure.
This weekend (nothing on tv, no wedding receptions, and didn't go to a movie) I've managed to knock out three - what a relief!!
Perhaps tomorrow I'll be off to replenish my stack!
Meals
So, The Hubby left Wed. morning (early). Wed. I ate at The Corner Bakery, Thurs. was tamale day at Cafe Rio, and today was Sweet Tomatoes (still full).
I'd give it all up in a heartbeat to have The Hubby here. But...he's on his way, flapping madly to get here as soon as he can.
cellphone
My new cellphone has a feature I haven't had before. When a call comes in I can either "accept" or "reject".
Haven't yet "rejected" anyone. Wonder if it would make them feel bad? :^)
Lunch
Treated myself to lunch (with a book) out this afternoon. Had to smile when I saw several tables occupied by cute older ladies lunching together. Here's hoping that when I'm that old I'll still have lady friends to lunch with.
Capris
I was sure my summer of wearing capris was giving my legs (below the knees) a nice tan. Instead, today I discovered freckles!
Holiday
Jamba Juice breakfast, popcorn lunch (at the movie) and hamburger dinner. I love a well-balanced diet.
(That's why I'll never be slender!)
Wind
So windy here that we saw birds flapping madly to just maintain position. Wondered if the wind were to suddenly die down if the birds would take a sudden nosedive? Or zoom instantly backwards? Do birds get airsick?
Doldrums
Expected today to have the hint of doldrums. Lunch at Pirate O's, errands with friends, dinner at Paradise Bakery, play at Hale (The Wedding Singer was fabulous tonight) made for a day of anything but the doldrums. Now, tomorrow.....
