Question of the Week

Which is more important– the actual experience, or the memory that remains of the experience after it is over?

Praise be to the Caffeine gods

So I’m nearly normal by now. I must say that diet Vanilla Coke is pretty disgusting. Way too sweet (and I like sweet!). The White Chocolate Mocha has kicked in though. I was busy with work all day. That’s… refreshing.

I forgot to mention that we have heat in our house now! I came home yesterday, …keep reading

Of Note

pointed out last night that I’ve been known to spell “y’all” incorrectly. (Bonus points for that, you know.) So I had to go perusing through the archives searching for the incorrect version “ya’ll.” It’s just how I pronounce it, I think, that makes me want to put the apostrophe in the wrong spot.
