A Walk To... - Did you already forget?

No more wintery days!!! I forbid them!!! It is sunny outside. Do you know what I say to all weathermen who predicted that it would storm today - "Ha!!" Let there be sunshine and warmth and Grateful Dead playing. Oh, yeah, and frozen grapes and grilled shrimp! And puppies - poodle puppies!!!

Do you remember the movie "A Walk to Remember"? I love that movie. I love Landon - what good girl wouldn't? The bad guy who is unhappy deep-down with his wild lifestyle. He meets the girl that only he can find utterly beautiful - until he reveals her beauty to the entire world - and then she reforms him. (Deep sigh...) So, I was thinking about Jaimie's list. And I came up with my own. This is an abbreviated version, of course. Most of my blogs are abbreviated for your reading pleasure. (I like to talk, ur, write - what more can I say...)

Yeah, there's more - but right now I have things to do. I have to go get Hubby a new battery for his car. I have to start writing my 30 page paper on the history of body image in America. And - I have to tan (because it makes me feel good - wish you could hear the Adam Sandler voice in my head saying that) and work out. I WILL run today - even if only a mile.
