Queen of Rambles

I tried to be strong. I really did. The latest Koontz book has been out for two or three weeks and I’ve not sought it out. Instead, I put it on hold at the library and was content to wait a few months for my turn to read.

Then yesterday I got a bug up my butt and suddenly the book is in my possession and I’m enjoying it immensely. As long as the whole thing doesn’t turn out to be the devil causing an alien invasion we’ll be ok.

I also let Erik pick out a book. The child went for a classic–I’ll Love You Forever–because it had a toilet on the cover. Oh man. I never should have let him get it. I read it tonight and was crying by page 8. I was a mess by the end, but at least Erik didn’t seem to notice. He just wanted to talk about the toilet.

Tangent: Why would anyone eat Cool-whip when real whipped cream is readily available?

Back on topic: Oh yeah. I’m done with that topic.

We had preschool today and it was fun for a change. We did a camp out in a tent, then went on a hike by a creek. We finished with fake s’mores. Some person decided it would be less messy if we didn’t use chocolate. What is a s’more without chocolate, I ask you? Just a roasted marshmallow! Granted, roasted marshmallows are tasty but when you want a s’more you want a damned s’more.

I’ve got to stop resisting temptation. I’ve been on a sugar kick ever since I started my pneumonia recovery. The more I eat the more I want. Must. Stop. Must. Stop. Maybe I need to get my jaw wired shut, but then I would just drink milkshakes.

In better health news, we harvested our first vegetable tonight! Yellow squash! I made fajitas for dinner with steak, red peppers and yellow squash. Odd combo, but it worked. I wasn’t really planning on harvesting it just yet but something totally ate one of the smaller squash so I decided I better pick it before nature claimed it as it’s own.

Great. Now I have to beat Mike with a rubber hose. He left the TV on one of those Save the Children sob story commercials before he went to bed. Why does he want to make me cry?

Ok, now Ghostbusters is back on. I can’t believe I saw this in the theatre when I was 10 years old. And now I really want s’mores. Stay Puft is being roasted as we speak (or I type, whatever). Will they or won’t they cross the streams?

Btw, thanks for all the sunscreen advice. My eyes are so sensitive that I’m going to take the hat advice. My head gets hot, so I’ll use a visor instead. How could I have forgotten my cute little visor that I wore all last summer? I have no idea where it is, but it would be worth investing in a new one.

And now I have to shut up and go continue my date with Deanie. Relentless. Oh baby. Just how I like it.
