I keep myself fairly occupied when Mike is gone so I don't crumble from loneliness.

Yesterday was Day #1 of Mike being gone. Well, technically Day #2. But the first full weekday, so we'll call it day #1.

Anyway. On Day #1, I:

Taught seminary, & then talked with brother-in-law Bryan who was at the airport en route to Hoduras.  And then I went down to the West Village with friends for lunch to celebrate Jill's birthday (at PB&J & Co., which we decided was fine, but nothing special), getting it to go & eating at Washington Square Park because it was just so nice outside. Plus, we could watch people play chess, which really wasn't all that interesting actually because I have no idea how to play. I tried once. It just didn't work. Anyway. It was a lovely day, so we walked, heading to that one street that is northeast of Washington Square Park - you know, the one that is private, & cobble-stoned & looks like you're in London, or at least California? That one. And then we wandered, & I went back up to the Upper East Side & I thought 76th Street was just looking so pretty.

Friend Erin fed me last night, which was oh-so-kind of her. We ate pork chops, because she cooks real food like that. I would have had cereal while watching Gossip Girl had I been at home. Instead, I had pork chops, & fresh vegetables & warm donuts with ice cream while watching Gossip Girl. Thank-you-very-much Burtons.

Day #2 of Mike being gone, & let me tell you - today I have plans, one of which is doing lots & lots of laundry (delicates, which means I'm doing them by myself) & cleaning up my apartment which is sort of in shambles. Seriously, it is.

Did you see the NieNie is going to be on Oprah tomorrow? I've maybe watched Oprah 4 times in my adult life, but I'm totally watching.

pb&co is silly. You have to try it at least once though. But the peanut butter is amazing. It's the only kind I buy now (cinnamon raisin swirl is the chappell choice)

:)

That's what we like too, Jenn. Yum. Mike will eat it by the spoonful out of the jar (which is why he hates it when we have it around). But a jar of it is $5, & a sandwich in the shop is $7. Dumb.

I never made it to pb jelly co, and I lived close to there the whole time...

I'm loving the sun flare of course! Looks like you got the hang of it!!

jill's pretty. and now looking back on it, i think my doctor would have shot my foot off had i eaten a fluffernutter. pretty sure there's absolutely no nutritional value in that thing, whatsoever.

I grew up eating fluffernutters...I thought it was our family secret? Is it weird if I want that picture?

Wait, how do you do that beautiful sun flare?

And what is PB and CO? I love peanut butter. Do they sell it online??
