Long time.....

I am still here but most days just fly by and I feel like I have nothing to say. Then, before you know it, it has been almost two months since I have written anything. Actually, there are a few unfinished and unpublished entries waiting in the wings but with the passage of days or weeks they have lost their relevance.

Anyhoo....

Today, Milla and I went out to return a Redbox movie and buy some fruit. Seventy-six dollars (I used to be somewhat of an extreme couponer but we also did not eat eat anywhere near as healthy as we do now) later we made it out of the store with two very full reusable bags (perhaps the equivalent of 6-8 plastic grocery bags) packed to the brim with the most wonderful organic nectarines I have been so fortunate to eat in a long, long time. We also bought an avocado and a watermelon and bananas and eggs and bacon and orange juice and tons of veggies and some marked down crap chemical-free sirloin for fajitas or kabobs or who knows what I will fancy for dinner this evening. And some donuts. Because we eat healthy like that.

As I pulled into the parking lot, Milla asked if we could get "one of those pets" and I had no idea what she was talking about so this, of course, was reason to get all cranky-pants on me. Shame on me for not knowing exactly what someone is referring to when they say "one of those pets." She then clarified that she wanted to get one of the pets you get with a hook. I told her she would be better to play that when Daddy is with her because he knows how to control that hook contraption in a much more coordinated manner than I do. She protested "But Daddy doesn't have any money! You have money!" and so I laughed and laughed. It is funny how it never crosses kids' minds where money comes from. It would be interesting to really know where she thinks my money comes from, considering I have not been employed outside the home in years.

I am boring myself here and this is why I have not been heard or seen in two months. I'm outie.....
