I’m such a kid.
I don’t apologize.
Lunch…

Tomato, baby! Campbell’s. There is no other if you’re a kid, or me.
In this…

There is no other if you’re a kid, or me.
I’ve had these soup mugs forever. Okay. They didn’t exit the womb with me, but a long time. Long. Time.
I have four. Still chip-free. That comes under the heading Miracle.
I paired my Campbell’s with a grilled Granny Smith apple and white cheddar — of the old variety — cheese sandwich on multigrain. Knocks my socks off every time.
Lunch as God intended.
Sometime on Friday, I’ll be in Matinee-land seeing this…

Mr. G, honey is girding his loins.
No, really. He’s a good sport.
No, really. I’m going to owe him big time. He’s gonna make me see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo on the Big Screen, when I would prefer to see it on say, my iPhone.
Try not to judge me. I’ve been a Stephanie Plum fan for a long time.
I’ll let you know.
Who else is going?
That’s all for Hump Day, aka Wednesday, folks!

I know. I know.
Gone for 5 days.
I’d like to say it was a horror, but it wasn’t.
I’d like to say it was 14 inches of snow, followed by an ice storm, followed by power outages — Hello, PNW! — but it wasn’t.
I’d like to say it was 5 days on a private island soaking up sun, surf and umbrella drinks with the man of my dreams, but it wasn’t.
The truth is I was just….
… writing.
… doing professional reading in current thinking on indie publishing, traditional publishing, social media, blogging.
… combing through a whole lotta years of paperwork looking for some information I needed. Mercy!
… encouraging the G-Pup up and down the stairs, inside and outside, as she heals from a torn nail after slipping on the ice. Poor baby!
… going to Matinee-land to see The Iron Lady — Meryl Streep is a force of nature and my favorite female actor.
… going to Matinee-land to see Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, which was most excellent, even though I got lost a time or two. I need to see that again.
… exercising. Help me, Rhonda!
… living my sucky, sugar-free life. 14 days and counting. Wahoo. I couldn’t even work up enough of a wahoo to put an exclamation point after it. Told ya. Sucky.
That’s it in a nutshell.
Just living.
Everyday America.
Canadaland, too.
