So I feel like I have written a real post in days. Probably because I haven’t written a real post in days.
And I’d love to tell y’all about last weekend but I can’t even remember what we did at this point. Give me a minute.
Okay, Friday night P was at the ranch and Caroline and I went to eat Mexican food with Mimi and Bops and my sister and her family. On Saturday we stayed in our pajamas until a shameful hour and then Caroline played in her first basketball game of the season.
Oh. I just remembered. I spent most of Saturday convinced that Caroline was getting sick because her cheeks were so flushed all day and she seemed very lethargic. Of course her lethargy is another child’s best day, but she definitely seemed subdued for her. But she never ran fever and never complained of any symptoms. I would tell you that she didn’t have the best performance in her basketball game, but I think that was due more to her lack of basketball skills than it was to any kind of illness.
On Sunday morning we made it to church. I’d half-convinced myself we wouldn’t make it to church because I was sure Caroline was going to wake up with a raging illness, but I guess she just needed a good night’s sleep. In fact, maybe she wasn’t even flushed on Saturday but just appeared to be because I’m used to looking at myself in the mirror and my complexion is dull and pale enough right now to be mistaken for a corpse. Maybe the rosy-cheeked glow of youth threw me off because it was so unfamiliar.
(Is this the most boring post ever?)
(It’s at least the second most boring post ever. At least.)
(I feel bad about it but absolutely NOTHING has happened over the last few days.)
Sunday afternoon we met my friend Jen and her daughter to go see Beauty and The Beast in 3D which, as far as I could tell, pretty much resembled Beauty and The Beast in 2D except the tickets were more expensive and I wasn’t twenty-four years old like the last time I saw it in the theater. But KUDOOZ to Disney for their clever marketing.
And for Nemo coming out in 3D this fall. What a racket. Don’t bother to make new movies, just release the old ones in 3D. PEOPLE WILL TOTALLY FALL FOR IT.
Sure, maybe I sound cynical but that’s just because I’ve had one piece of chocolate in the last two and a half weeks and I’m a little bitter. The good news is I’ve lost .2 pounds so it’s totally worth it. In the meantime, P has cut down to one bag of Orange Milano cookies a day and has dropped ten pounds in the last week.
That will be one of the questions I ask God when I get to heaven.
In other news, there just isn’t that much other news. Except I just noticed that my cursor isn’t working correctly. And by that I mean the blinking line on my computer, not my ability to use profanity. That’s working fine as evidenced by the words I muttered under my breath earlier as I helped Caroline learn this week’s spelling words.
So I guess that’s all for now. Sorry to be so lame. Maybe the next few days will bring some kind of something that’s actually interesting.
Or maybe I’ll just start talking about soup.
Either way, I’ll be here.
