Eating peanut m&m's. Lots and lots of peanut m&m's.

You should have opted for peanut butter M&M's-- those are the best! :)

If you were swearing off sugar, would YOU be tempted by the Russian candy? I mean, really. It's still all there.

What exactly is Russian candy? And I agree that peanut butter M&M's reign supreme in the M&M world, but have you ever had a Lindt peanut butter truffle? They are deffinitly worth a "momentary lapse of willpower". Or for that matter an absence of willpower entirely.

We have lovely new neighbors from Moscow who brought us a huge canister of. . .guess. . .guess. . .yes, you are absolutely right! Russian candy!! All KINDS of chocolates and sweets with labels we cannot read. Ordinarily, I would be delighted and feel very obligated to eat it all, but now that I am exercising a certain bit of most-of-the-time restraint, I am abstaining from the gigantic Russian vat of unknown and probably-made-with-liquor sweets. Next time you come to visit, you will certainly be offered some. (That means you, Pepper.)

Pass the candy! I don't think I can even list all of the things I ate today which contained refined sugar. MMMMmmmmmm! Mint M&M's are my favorite. They usually only sell them in red and green during the holidays. Has anybody seen them this season? PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

By the way, Emily... Have I ever told you that you have a lovely nose? What I'd do...

Mint M&Ms are at Target. I bought some last week and tried really hard not to eat the whole bag. I finally had to pawn them off on someone else.

Ialmost forgot to say that I really wish I had Russian neighbors next door to me. I would love to learn how to cook Russian food. Instead we have the old hippie couple next door and the soon to be rented out house on the other side. Istill haven't worked up the courage to ask the Vietnamese grandma who lives on the corner and always says hi to me and the baby on our runs if she would tutor me in Vietnamese cooking. Maybe someday I will getthe nerve up.

Thank you, Amy June! I'm on my way to Target to get mint M&Ms. I'm sure I'll pick up a few other things while I'm there. Always do. :)

dad has momentary lapses too - but he gets right back on that sugar-free horse. He does, however, have a weakness for tater tot casserole. mmmmm mmmmm good! nothing wrong with that dad! maybe the key is to find another weakness - heart-attack in a pan works.

Change is good

I like this time of year. The weather is fantastic: I can drive with windows down, read outside, not turn on heat or a/c. The teachers have stopped assigning homework. I have vacations to look forward to. I have time and inclination to nap every day. Tomorrow I find out the gender and general health of my current fetal child.

Who will be the first to call me a liberal?

On health care reform: I like change. I think HCR has the opportunity to do a lot of good for a lot of people who are otherwise suffering. I'm pro- trying something new to see if it makes things better. If it doesn't make things better, there's always another solution down the road. I'm happy that Obama has done something he set forth to do. I'd like for him to have a successful presidency; I'm pulling for him for that. Success is obviously subjective, but I think it's the hardest job in the universe, and why not offer a little support where I can? I don't think most of America actually understands what they're bemoaning about, which makes me kind of cranky because I feel like it's being contrarian just for the sake of being contrarian and what's productive about that? If bemoaners know what they're talking about, and want to bemoan, then by all means, let's hear it. On revelation about Kevin Garn's DUI arrest, apparently while...
