blogophobia

It would seem that a girl who is a lover of written word, a writer by education and gemini by birth would excel in all formats of communication using words. Alas, as my first blog clearly touched upon, I'm a terrible blogger.

This being said, I present a new me. Beware, you may not be able to shut me up.

Today started out with little hope. But after pancakes, a pot of joe and a shower around 3pm, it became more productive than I could have hoped for.

Every spring, the drama at my house is choosing which color of Old Navy flip flops would be my signature for summer style. Today, the task was a success. This year will be red...it shall be brilliant!

I thought, for sure, tonight would be yet another night of take out and facebook. Instead, I had a super dinner with one of the best gals I know. We gabbed, we reminisced, we remembered why we clicked so easily. It's simple. Understanding, acceptance and respect. If all of my relationships could operate based on these basic principles, I could fire my therapist.

Jesus is probably mad at me right now. I gave up high fructose corn syrup for lent. Somehow, I forgot to figure that the raspberry limeade served at dinner was probably full of it. I didn't mean to falter. Sorry Jesus.

So, if counting letting Jesus down constitutes as accomplishing something, I would say today was just short of paramount. I relish the simple things.
