Happiness is a perfect avocado. You never know what's going to greet you when you cut into one of those little suckers.

Progress Report: Big Fat Zero. I greeted the day with no strength. Did get to Target at night and bought those cleaning pads for WetJet. Tip: Shopping while talking on the phone with your sister results in coming home with two jars of the same face moisturizer. You would think I might have easily tossed two into the cart because my coupon said I got a free face wash, too, and I was studying all the different flavors, all the while gabbing away. BUT, you would think I might notice at check-out that I put TWO of the same Olay on the feeder (can't think what you call it, but it rolls your junk up to the cashier) PLUS the face wash.

Tomorrow had better be a happening thing, that's all I've got to say. At least I wasn't cleaning wee out of the grout today. Jazzi is now asked every three minutes if she has to go potty outside. When we become millionaires, I'm going to have my grout professionally cleaned AND SEALED. I've had it, HAD it, I tell you. My entire downstairs, which is most of the house, is tile. Meaning, grout. Val-Toad has some neat kind of smooth-ish stone tile, forget what you call it, but her tiles are almost flush one to another and there is only a hairline of grout, you can't even see it. Val-Toad did it smart. I've heard pros and cons about whether or not to seal grout. After 12 years of fighting grout, I am 1,000% for sealing it. I truly don't care if my grout can breathe or not. I wish it would just die.

It might be cheaper to move to a house with hardwood floors. Easier on the old back, too.

Lately I've been reading the Psalms. Very slowly and carefully. I'm up to Psalm 30 (although my read-your-Bible-chronologically doesn't have all 30 in a row, some are tucked into different books, like Kings). Psalms are for savoring. They are more than praise and worship to God. I have been humbled, rebuked, challenged, inspired and educated. Psalms entering your soul are life-changing This is very cool for me as normally I kind of gave the Psalms a cursory read-through. Once I noted that someone said Psalms was their favorite book of the Bible. That struck me as odd, but now I can see it.

I've noticed that I hyphenate a lot. Wonder what that means.
