Dimestore of Love

Tuesday, February 5 2008

The girl-child came home this past weekend. We had so much fun together at Space. Then she got sick, so the rest of our well-laid plans were tossed…just like her cookies.

You’d think it would be easier for me to let her go back to school, since she’s been living in Austin since August. But it’s not. I find myself in tears, at the thought of her leaving again, before she even arrives. I simply adore that kid. I’m really looking forward to this year’s SXSW so I can spend some time with her on her turf.

So I’ve been on this Potbellys’ as of late. I thought I’d do the whole Jared thing and drop a few lbs. by eating a “skinny wheat turkey sandwich with extra peppers.” Yesterday I picked up a jar of those delicious peppers, made my purchase and took it home. As I was putting these precious peppers away, I took note of the ingredients. Peppers, check! Celery, check! Carrots, check! Cauliflower, check! Olives, check! Spices, check! 100% pure vegetable oil, check! Wait! What? Crap…

Those two rascals above are two of the loves of my life. One is about to crank out a sibling, of and for, the other. God speed, good luck, and call me please when Jonah has someone to prank on a daily basis, for a good 5 or more years…xxox
