i already got my last year’s belated birthday ice cream cone! man, that was fast. i’m going to ask for things on this website ALL THE TIME NOW, and maybe it’ll be like the genie in the bottle. ask and ye shall receive.
i’m still waiting for the trip on my birthday, but i figure that’ll take a slight more planning than the ice cream. plus, my birthday isn’t until two months from now. JAUNT TO THE BAHAMAS, by the way; i might as well think big. ask for BIG things, and ye shall receive them. also any other big things that anybody wants to give me, i’ll be very happy with that.
but i’m being very calm about everything my heart desires – one day at a time. and eventually, all good things will come. i can be incredibly patient, when not spinning out of control like a freaked out crazed lunatic.
i only got one scoop, by the way, because it was midday and i was still feeling Morning Grace-like and not in the mood to go BERSERK with the ice cream.
unfortunately, right now I’m in the mood for the ice cream craziness. BRING IT ON! Chocolate peanut butter, which i didn’t get because i felt it was too indulgent. lowfat jamoca with chocolate pieces. Silly Morning Grace.
So, i missed my window of opportunity. at least tomorrow morning, Morning Grace won’t be mad at me about over-indulging with the ice cream. but seriously, next time, something more rich and creamy. we ate the ice cream in the park, where it was warm and sunny and the ice cream kept melting like crazy and dripping down my arm, and all was good. many people were out, some with cute puppies and all kinds of dogs, everybody frolicking about all over the place.
Last night i went to the open house gala at the Abe Lincoln Museum. Phil said i MUST NOT REVIEW IT in any way, even though i don’t feel like i’m a member of the media, by any means. but SOMEBODY’S reading this website, i know.
so i won’t say anything. i am going to talk about it a tiny little bit in the paper version of this column, which is going to come out this friday, april 1st. but no reviewing! no way, jose!
all i’m saying now is – THE PLACE IS INCREDIBLE! that’s not reviewing, is it? no.
and there weren’t any snacks, by the way, but it didn’t even matter. think of that, a place SO SPECTACULAR that i didn’t even think about snacking while there.
i’m sitting here at my sister’s salon, waiting to get my hair done. this is almost as exciting as getting the ice cream cone; i’ve decided i need to be much more blonde. i was very blonde for years and years, and only recently i’ve been more of a redhead. actually, completely a redhead, sometimes with (very fashionable) blonde stripes.
but now that spring has sprung, blondes have more fun. i plan on having as much fun as possible starting right NOW (actually starting with the ice cream cone), and i figure blondness is the first logical step.
i’ve been talking to christine about how we as a society are conditioned to think we’re all entitled to lots of happiness, and that things should always get better, but really, there’s lots of suffering that you’re going to have in life, that’s just the way it is. there are good times, there are bad times, and a lot of it is about how you deal with the things that come your way.
i just have to say that right NOW, i’m planning on the happiness, regardless of any external forces, or even the weather.
although christine did say it’s supposed to SNOW in denver today, so i’m very happy to be here in spfld. where it’s warm and sunny and i got ice cream and am about to be blonde.
ok then,
grace giddy from many things including eating little chocolates while waiting to get my hair done
