I was out for breakfast and needed sugar for my grits. There was a nice big sugar shaker right there, but I kept digging through the sweetener packets looking for sugar, oblivious to the big jar right under my nose. So, now I'm thinking coffee's a bad idea, because I have trouble with sugar. Maybe we should go for a walk instead. ;-)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167212722339582049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34525163.post-31863615077706433842007-03-20T17:18:00.000-06:002007-03-20T17:18:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167212722339582049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34525163.post-89772004172696030602007-03-20T17:08:00.000-06:002007-03-20T17:08:00.000-06:00you could always go with e) all of the above.you could always go with e) all of the above.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138401393364371648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34525163.post-61706859655294049802007-03-20T16:58:00.000-06:002007-03-20T16:58:00.000-06:00Oy, these situations confound me...
