It would appear that I have done a virtual throw up in my blog in a manner much like my status updates on In-Your-Face-Book or Twitter. I write often because the world just might want to know useless facts about what I am doing, what I have been doing, and what I will be doing.

For example, I am sure that you want to know that I now have a new body gel and cream from Philosophy which I received as a Christmas gift. They smell like something if eaten would lead to an increase in body fat. So, it would seem odd to be cleansing in “hot cocoa”, only to follow by rubbing “marshmallow cream” onto my body after I having dried off. On one hand, it is a little fun. On the other, I can’t help but think how much more fun it might be if there was someone close enough to notice.

Such is life: my life. And now you know — another useless fact about me.

I woke with a start.  myPhone was chirping again.  I jumped up to read the incoming text message.  I was hoping it was from L but it wasn’t.  It was Lil Sis…

LS: Do u have to go to the store?

The chill of the morning, in a house who’s thermostat is still programmed for its occupants to be gone during the week, hit me.  I quickly returned to my bed to write my reply.

Me: Mno (I was just waking up.  My eyes and fingers were not cooperating)

LS: What?

Me: No

LS: Got it.  Did u get the pictures

Me: Not all.  It stopped after the first of the boys with guns

LS: I’ll look at it later!  Sophie’s asking me why that boy with the brown hair is going to marry the girl.

Me:  AND you said…

Me (again): Was that because she heard us or them?

LS: At first I didn’t know who she was talking about.  Then she said they told her.

Me: Whoa

LS: It could be ’cause she thinks if u kiss someone you’re going to marry them.  (Ha.  She’ll learn)

Me: Well they’re leaving today for a Christmas to themselves.  It could happen then. (We have been speculating)

LS: Yep!  She’s really great; just think you’re already a grandmother too.  No need to worry about that either.

Me: What?  Do you mean that they would have a child, not that she is pregnant already?

LS:  No silly.  The DOG.

Me: OH.  Well I am NOT taking on the title for HER.  (This being the dog who has been peeing and pooping in my house since she arrived)

LS: Ok.  U need to be accepting

Me: Funny.  Just ‘cuz it’s not you.

LS: It will be one day.  Probably worse.

Me: You’re probably right. (sigh and head downstairs for coffee)

LS: This may be the “mom” test

Me: OMG.  I just came downstairs.  I think my granddaughter’s parents and uncle are tornados in disguise.  Talk about a “mom” test

LS: Tell them we need to clean up!  It’s your place and they aren’t kids.

Me: I’m sure not doing it.

Me (again): I just dumped coffee grounds all over my floor. I’d better take a break from this.
