SUGAR, SUGAR.

THE SNOW OUTSIDE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS SPRINKLING POWDERED SUGAR ON THIS PANCAKE WORLD. AM WRITING IN CAPS TODAY. JUST TO SHAKE THINGS UP A BIT. IT'S SNOWING AGAIN AND DAN GETS TO GO SKIING. HURRAH. AM HAPPY FOR HIM. WE HAD A BIG ICE CREAM CONE LAST NIGHT WITH FRIENDS. I LOVE RICH ICE CREAM AND MAGGIE MOO'S SERVED US UP A TALL SCOOP. I LOVE HAVING GOOD FRIENDS EVEN MORE. I FEEL SO LUCKY. AND I CANNOT BELIEVE ALL THE GOOD MAIL WE RECEIVED AS OF LATE. THERE IS THIS THING ABOUT AN UNEXPECTED NOTECARD, IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ALL OVER. GENUINELY HAPPY. EVEN IF THINGS ARE CHURNING INSIDE, I AM FEELING MORE BRAVE BIT BY BIT. ALL THANKS TO EVERYONE AROUND ME. I NEED TO SEND MORE MAIL. PERIOD. AM LOOKING FORWARD TO A LUNCH REUNION TOMORROW WITH HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS. AM ALREADY LAUGHING AT THE MEMORIES WE WILL INEVITABLY REMINISCE ABOUT. WONDER WHY WE DON'T DO IT MORE OFTEN. AM GRATEFUL FOR LITTLE THINGS LIKE INSTANT MESSAGING. IT GETS ME A LITTLE MORE LOVE EVERY DAY. BEST FRIENDS POP UP AND A QUICK HELLO REALLY GETS ME GOING. A LITTLE CHEERY MESSAGE CAN MAKE MY WHOLE DAY. SO CAN MY COSTCO INDIVIDUAL PACKAGES OF ALMONDS. IT WAS MY PURCHASE OF THE WEEK AND EVERYONE AT WORK SEEMS TO LIKE THEM TOO. BUT REALLY, NO, YESTERDAY I MADE THE PURCHASE OF THE WEEK.. NOT ONLY DID I INDULGE IN CINNAMONEY SUGAR HEARTS VIA THE VALENTINE AISLE, BUT MY LOCAL GROCER IS ALSO SELLING CADBURY MINI EGGS. YES! THOSE LITTLE DEVILS THAT COME OUT AT EASTER TIME ROBED IN A CRISP CHOCOLATE SHELL. THEY WERE IN A BIN, FRONT AND CENTER, EYEING ME. AND I REALIZED I COULD NOT COME TO A FRIDAY FIESTA HERE AT WORK WITHOUT SHARING THEM. I LOVE WHEN I CAN JUSTIFY A SELFISH INDULGENCE INTO A REASON TO ADD TO THE GREATER GOOD.

WAY TO SHAKE THINGS UP WITH THE ALL CAPS. maybe i will shake things up and write in all lowercase. just for fun.

Sorry, can't do either. Pains my brain.

Marta, ohmygosh, I laughed out loud when I read about your justifying the Cadbury eggs purchase by adding to the greater good. hahahahahahaha!

I forgot to tell you that Anna at ABT did a post on how much she loves journals, so I told her to check you out. This morning I had a message from someone saying they were going to spy out some of your journals--I think they saw my comment to Anna. Anyway, I gave them the info...I assume that was okay. : )

The caps were a noticeable change. But it reminded me, of
URGENT! PAY THIS BILL IMMEDIATELY or
YOU ARE HEREBY SUMMONED TO JURY DUTY. It was kind of scary.

I like my mini mart better in soft, adorable small print. I'm going to buy some Cadbury eggs to help me get over the trauma. My calmer mood will add to the greater good.

I agree with Oma. All caps=computer yelling. But way to go...you are mixing things up and trying to learn to be flexible. Good for you.

My next post is dedicated to you. WATCH FOR IT!

can't wait for the mini eggs to make their debut down here. much better than the full cadbury eggs. hint of vanilla and sans the way too sweet egg yolk.

mini eggs are the best EVER. it's a good thing they don't sell them year round or I would have to go to rehab for mini-egg addiction. always good to pass the love around though.
