I'm still on a simple track here, and I found my way back to being a kid for a few minutes this afternoon as I had a quick lunch of honey roasted peanut butter on a slice of Wonder Bread. I never, ever buy white bread anymore--I'd forgotten how good it tastes with peanut butter though. Can't wait to bust out the preserves.

Everyone here is awesome. kitty, keep kicking some parental butt in the kindest possible way--I am glad you stood up for yourself. alias, I hear your pain--I'm always a little unnerved by the first phone call in a relationship. In my opinion, steering the conversation towards ideas is always best, and you can talk about yourself as you gain comfort. sundog, you are so very sweet--thank you for your kind words and never-ending support. Your hike must have been super fun! lavieenrose, I always picture your walks with Sherman as beautiful adventures. PleaseHelp, you consistently blow me away with how much you get done!!

Hugs to everyone here. And that means everyone, even if I didn't mention your post.
