Charlotte has been saying stuff. Like yesterday when I was stretching and my belly showed. "Mom, you really need to go work out at the gym more." I said, "Honey, that isn't a nice thing to say." So she got her compassionate look on and said, "I love my mom no matter what she looks like."
She redeemed herself today when she told me that the skirt Grandma and I made for Claire looked like it came from a store. My mom really made it, but I am taking the compliment. Talent trumps tummies every time, even if it is borrowed talent.
I had doughnuts for breakfast, or as I tell my dear friend and workout partner, "broccoli." She is a true cowgirl in the saddle. (Her husband reads this, sweet man, so he can pass on the compliment.) This isn't a confession, just a statement. For those of you who know, I had a glazed buttermilk from Shipley's. Be jealous. For those of you who have never had one, they only make them on the weekends (at our Shipley's anyway), and they are enormously delicious! Redefines doughnuts. Elevates them to a level on par with wedding cake. I'd actually stack them up and serve them at a wedding.I have broadened my horizons from Digby's Donuts and Webkinz to several other computer games (thanks a lot, Leslie.) Jo Jo's Fashion Show, Chocolatier, Farm Frenzy, something about a Jaguar's Eye. If you can't stop yourself from playing Solitaire on the computer, then you know what I am feeling. It starts with adding Minesweeper and Hearts. Then you get onto MahJong and Sudoku. Then you start playing games online like Bubble Town and Alchemy and Bejeweled. See, it's a gradual progression. Gotta feed the addiction, find new games.
I want you to know that I discriminate. I have some criteria that must be met. No war games or anything like fighting bad guys or combat games. No racing games. Just puzzle games. Your only opponent is time, really.
Now, all this talking about doughnuts has me thinking about Digby. I gotta go.

i had "broccoli" for breakfast too. The exact same glazed buttermilk "broccoli" and it was delicious! (They make them everyday here.)
You gotta love little kids and their bluntness. They totally get that from their Grandma Ruggles :P
Man, now you are making me want to play that chocolatier game. Now that sounds fun!
I hate video and computer games but this farming game is unbelievably fun.
It was great to see you today.
Jen you have to add one more game to your list, Rock Band of course!!!
I am one of those people who get hopelessly addicted to those games. I just don't play them because I am totally weak and will never stop. Once I played the Sims all night long. When I was in school I wasted many valuable hours on solitaire and mindsweeper. So I have been on a gaming diet for years (with the exception of rock Band, that's my fave).
Good for you for being in the vicinity!!! That counts. And I am totaly jeoulous of your doughnut. Surprise, surprise Abilene does not have a Shipley's. I'll have to try it out when we come down this summer.
Today is Monday. How are you doing now?
He does have good taste in women! ;)
How are you today Jenn?
>My first comment on your blog! It's buried deep, but I have some strong convictions about this one.<
Child, please. One donut (a buttermilk donut, no less, and buttermilk is solidly in one of the *actual* food groups) does not count as "donuts for breakfast." You have to get to three donuts before you can give it that title. Before that, unless it was accompanied by something else (and substantial), it doesn't count as breakfast at all. And that is an entirely different tale of woe.
