i already got my last year\u2019s belated birthday ice cream cone! man, that was fast. i\u2019m going to ask for things on this website ALL THE TIME NOW, and maybe it\u2019ll be like the genie in the bottle. ask and ye shall receive.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m still waiting for the trip on my birthday, but i figure that\u2019ll take a slight more planning than the ice cream. plus, my birthday isn\u2019t 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\u2019ll be very happy with that.<\/p>\n
but i\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
unfortunately, right now I\u2019m in the mood for the ice cream craziness. BRING IT ON! Chocolate peanut butter, which i didn\u2019t get because i felt it was too indulgent. lowfat jamoca with chocolate pieces. Silly Morning Grace.<\/p>\n
So, i missed my window of opportunity. at least tomorrow morning, Morning Grace won\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019t feel like i\u2019m a member of the media, by any means. but SOMEBODY\u2019S reading this website, i know.<\/p>\n
so i won\u2019t 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!<\/p>\n
all i\u2019m saying now is – THE PLACE IS INCREDIBLE! that\u2019s not reviewing, is it? no. <\/p>\n
and there weren\u2019t any snacks, by the way, but it didn\u2019t even matter. think of that, a place SO SPECTACULAR that i didn\u2019t even think about snacking while there.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m sitting here at my sister\u2019s salon, waiting to get my hair done. this is almost as exciting as getting the ice cream cone; i\u2019ve decided i need to be much more blonde. i was very blonde for years and years, and only recently i\u2019ve been more of a redhead. actually, completely a redhead, sometimes with (very fashionable) blonde stripes. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
i\u2019ve been talking to christine about how we as a society are conditioned to think we\u2019re all entitled to lots of happiness, and that things should always get better, but really, there\u2019s lots of suffering that you\u2019re going to have in life, that\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
i just have to say that right NOW, i\u2019m planning on the happiness, regardless of any external forces, or even the weather.<\/p>\n
although christine did say it\u2019s supposed to SNOW in denver today, so i\u2019m very happy to be here in spfld. where it\u2019s warm and sunny and i got ice cream and am about to be blonde.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
