Long time no post. Blame it on myspace, facebook, etc. Or just my tendancy to drop things after a while. Like running, journaling, all that good stuff.

I've run about six times this year. Twice in the last four days. So it's been an off year for running, but I'm picking it up again this month. I was starting to get too competitive with myself about it.

I had a great morning today until I woke up. Spilled an entire cup of coffee on the family room carpet (sorry, Love) and that really took the wind outta my sails.

While taking my daughter to her daysitter, however, she brightened my day in her childlike way. We often pass the house of a local chocolatier, whose vehicle is chocolate colored and includes the name and phone number of her business. Whenever my daughter sees that car she excitedly screams for chocolate, and this morning she did not fail to provide.

I'm not a healthfood nut or anything, but I try to give my kid something resembling a balanced diet, and I probably harp on her far too much about treats, which she is incessantly asking for. So this morning when we passed the chocolate car, she said "When can I have some chocolate, Daddy?"

Hoping she would say something about nutritious food first, I asked "Why should I buy you chocolate?"

Her response: "Cuz I'm a kid!"


That response made my day. Thank you, darling daughter.
