10 days without posting {and an ode to ice cream!}

I have words inside me that are straining to get out through my fingertips pecking on the keyboard! So I must allow it to come to pass since it has been 10 whole entire days since I last posted that...ahem! I was gonna post MORE OFTEN! Such futile words have never been spoken! It's so frustrating to go several days without writing, because then I don't know what all incidents to cover! Shall I wax poetic about the sweet and fervent love of "Mor-gwen" as they were coined? Or share my sobs of the wedding cake that bore a striking resemblance to the Leaning Tower of Pisa?! Or think of the thrilling times with family and friends that were had by all? Or grumble, gripe, and growl about the state of my lobsterish skin after basking at the beach today? Or hint of birthday that is less than an hour away..... Of the last, I shall not! For I have decided that forthwith I shall become more adultish and put away the ridiculous enthusiasm that I have for the day of my birth! But on second thought.... I think I shall just be the way I truly am!! Have I mentioned that it's my birthday tomorrow??? :) Ok, ok, I can see that I'm back to normal again! Whew!! It's stressful to try to be something or someone that you are not! Embracing our true selves, Mel and I had 2 $.50 ice cream cones from Burger King today! It was lovely. If you haven't been indulging in $.50 cones from Burger King these days, you should. YOU are missing out on one of life's finest little pleasures. BTW, I'm loving my first Gretchen Rubin book, The Happiness Project. It makes me happy that I own a hard copy edition as I can see myself reading and re-reading this book in my future life. I WAS going to save it for the plane, but self-denial is something I need to address quite desperately in my life. Any suggestions, ways, advice, things you have learned about self-denial that you could share with me? Thanks! I shall bring these few thoughts to a close as they are appearing to ramble at large. Sweet dreams to all my family and friends that still check every now and then to see if I have shared the written word once again! Thanks for being faithful and for not giving up entirely on me!

And now I lay me down to sleep,

a Burger King cone my dreams so sweet,

If I should die before I wake,

Please wipe the ice cream off my face!

it's only 26 minutes until i'm 27!

FYI :)
