I can do things. I can read a map held upside down if I have to and I don't get lost. I can pick out the tune on a piano. I don't panic in the kitchen and my three-chip chocolate chip cookies are the talk of the block, but from my armchair, I dream of what else I might do. I dream of what else I could do.
A bowl of ice cream, scoop piled upon scoop, reminds me that I could climb Everest. I could master the vernacular of pitons and belaying ropes, and I could master their use, too, but my hand is a little cold holding the bowl of ice cream. Perhaps something warmer would be more to my liking.
What if I biked across the United States? Nothing Tour de France-style, but at a steady pace, bent over the handlebars, tucked into one position the entire way across Iowa or Nebraska. Hmmm, this cushion I sitting on feels awfully soft as I type this. I think I'll ponder something else.
I could sail around the world. I can imagine the feel of the wind on my face as the sails fill and the boat sweeps along atop the water. As long as the boat stayed atop the water, I'd be fine. I wonder how long a person can dog paddle?
My cat is stretched out along the back of my chair. He's looking right at me. Maybe I should try lion taming? I stare back at my cat, but he yawns, his kibble breath making my eyes water. Sadly, I realize there is no way I could stick my head in a lion's mouth.
However, I think I have everything in the house to make those three-chip chocolate chip cookies. Thank goodness I don't panic in the kitchen.

You've made a solid decision. Maybe you should wait on the cookies a couple days till your husband gets home.

LOL! You are too funny. Let me repeat, you are too funny.
Yeah, I'm writing this on a stupid ibook. Intuitive my butt. By the time You've hit enough buttons to send something, you've sent it twice.
yummy...you make cookies too? wow, and I thought your truffles were the best! Talented, that's all I have to say!
LG, we may have to have a dessert buffet where everyone brings their favorite. I'll do three-chip chocolate chip cookies as well as truffles.
That sounds wonderful! I'm in! Although all our kiddos start soccer soon, so we'll have to see on a date...or later in the day on Saturday's would work.
