here i am in a big huge house. earlier today a child was visiting, and there are two children living here, and it was very very busy. and loud. lots of activity. i understand why children need so much sleep; it’s because when they’re awake, they’re bouncing off the walls. whew. it’s exhausting just watching them.
it’s fairly quiet now. the adorable dachsund puppy is sleeping. the only noise is coming from the gigantic TV. GIGANTIC tv.
there is a big big bowl of halloween candy here. i’m trying not to eat all of it. i’m trying to just eat one piece every once in a while, hoping that nobody notices how the candy level is dropping dramatically. maybe i’ll be able to find a store in which to buy candy tomorrow, and i can fill it up again.
we did go to the grocery store today. when people ask me what i did in denver, i’ll tell them that i went to the store, and i napped.
no, i’ve decided that i’m going to say that i went skiing. and i was great. really great. i mean, why not just start lying? it’s not too late in life to start lying, is it? i’ll just go around acting like things are all much, much better than they really are, i’ll pretend that i’m GREAT at stuff like skiing.
not that things are bad. but i do not want to ski. but who will know? they won’t know. “oh yes,” i’ll say, “i skiied a LOT. it was AWESOME. and i looked so CUTE in my skiing outfit, just like a snow bunny.”
this will also feed people’s desire to live vicariously through me. because if i just tell them i went to target, and to safeway, that’s not quite as exciting.
unless you really like to shop.
the safeway was very fancy, by the way. hardwood floors. i mean, COME ON HERE, do you really need hardwood floors in the safeway?
i have to go to the airport now.
ok then,
grace eating halloween candy very quietly.
