After a quick trip to the Outer Banks this past weekend, I learned a few things.
The 12-m Flexifoil doesn't relaunch worth a hoot.
Cottage Cheese has a lot of sodium and causes serious water retention for me.
I think I lost my touch with kids. Sort of. |

Saturday, I thought I was kicking it at first with my 4-year old friend. We colored, we practiced our numbers, she showed me how she could write 18 different words. We were on a roll.
Sunday a.m. she started voicing concern over starting kindergarten. She wouldn't know where to go, in what line should she stand for lunch, who would be in her class, what class to go to, she might not have any friends in her class, and lunch oh my on lunch, what to eat and where. I thought it was so cute, I smile and laughed. A wee small laugh. OH! MY! Not good.
She ran to mom's arms in a display of tears and announced, "Suz.. Suz.. Suzannnnnnee is laughing at me." Talking about feeling like a heel. I waited for the sofa to open up and devour me but as luck would have it, this wasn't a human swallowing couch. I was on my own. After quick reassurance that I wasn't laughing at her and her rebuttal that I was, she slowly calmed down and turned her attention to the cartoons on the T.V. I did not bring up kindergarten again.
I wish I got the air she did on the left when kiting. I would be kicking it. |

Oh! My! GAWD!!!! I am out of shape. My bike riding legs our gone, kaput, no more. What used to be our usual, as in we did it at least once a month, downtown loop, felt like a chapter ripped from a "How to Interrogate a Spy after Waterboarding Fails". Sweat oozing out of every pore, legs shaky, butt sore, back aching, arms rubbery and stomach rumbling for food. I give. What do you want to know? I will tell you but you have to put both me and my bike in your vehicle and drive me home. We had no takers. Did I mention my deodorant had given up the battle already? |
