this afternoon i confessed to mom (i always have to confess things to SOMEBODY. last night i confessed to amy that i\u2019d just bought THREE NEW PURSES, when i really shouldn\u2019t be buying anything at all. i confessed to amy because she buys expensive purses, plus she buys lots of things, and i figured if anybody could justify a purchase, it would be amy. so that shows how much i suck, that i\u2019d select as a confessee somebody who i knew would tell me it\u2019s ok) that i\u2019ve been being VERY VERY LAZY.<\/p>\n
you know what she said? <\/p>\n
“i know, grace, i read your website.”<\/p>\n
the really bad thing about this is that i thought the laziness was just a phenomenon TODAY. but i just read entries, and yeah, tuesday, also very lazy. so, not only lazy, but of course incredibly, INCREDIBLY forgetful.<\/p>\n
bad, bad, bad. especially today, because it was so warm, sunny, beautiful outside. it was impossible to even contemplate sitting down and working…even though i could have done it OUTSIDE.<\/p>\n
no excuses. just lazy.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m already at playwriting class, though, and i got here at 5:30 and class doesn\u2019t start till six, so i can do a bunch of writing here so i can start focusing on my PLAY at six. which gives me exactly six minutes. luckily i\u2019m a very fast typer (one of my three good qualities).<\/p>\n
PUFFBALLS: one time i was taking a walk, and somebody pointed out a puffball to me. i\u2019d never seen one. it was roughly grapefruit size, and sort of dark beige, and when you squeeze it, a puff puffs out. it was cool, and i\u2019d never seen one, and the person taking the walk with me said they were usually bigger. but i didn\u2019t see any anymore.<\/p>\n
until i went running at the lake, and i kept seeing a big white ball the size of a volleyball. i ran by it every day, and i thought it was made of cement, a big white cement ball. i was pretty sure that\u2019s what it was, and i idly wondered how a big cement ball could have gotten there, but i never stopped.<\/p>\n
finally, one day i stopped and touched it – and it was a puffball! very cool. i see it every day, only now it\u2019s starting to deteriorate, and it\u2019s sort of a green-beige color. but there are other puffballs around, just sitting there, large and white and very lovely. i should take a picture of one, but i don\u2019t take my camera when i\u2019m running.<\/p>\n
i thought i\u2019d look them up online in order to give you more info, and i found two websites (there are lots of websites, but these looked pretty good).<\/p>\n
the oddest thing i found out is that people EAT puffballs! hmm. i wouldn\u2019t want to eat a puffball. i just like looking at them. the websites have recipes for cooking puffballs. anyway, here are the links: <\/p>\n
puffball madness!<\/a> and more puffball stuff.<\/a><\/p>\n puffballs.<\/p>\n ok, onto <\/p>\n SOY.<\/p>\n i\u2019m sure i\u2019ve written this before, but it seems that soon all we\u2019ll eat is soy. i have become highly addicted to STRAWBERRY PURE SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE POWDER. you mix it with milk, and i drink a glass every morning for breakfast, after running. it\u2019s 24 grams of soy protein, and it gives me energy, and i love it and i\u2019m addicted. here is what they say about it in the product description:<\/p>\n “100% Soy Protein, Vegetarian Formula.
