Tea for Two?

I still remember my mom waking me up super early to watch the Royal Wedding in 1981. I remember that she told me to nap during the "boring" parts and that she would wake me up in time to see Diana arrive in her carriage -- and she did. I can remember laying on the couch watching the wedding on our tiny television set.

I intend to watch the upcoming Royal Wedding as well, but for a while my daughters have been saying they don't want to be woken up to watch with me. Finally just this morning Thea said I can wake her up, and Holly immediately said she wants to watch too. Waiting on Faith...

I was only 7 in 1981. I don't expect Holly to remember this but I hope it will be a fun memory for Thea. I think I'll get some cinnamon rolls to have with tea or coffee -- I think that scones would be a more proper food but let's stick to what I know everyone will like.

By the way, I love T-Mobile's "Royal Wedding Dance" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kav0FEhtLug

Decaffeinated

Ah Diet Pepsi, how I miss you. I've been on a crusade to reduce my intake of diet sodas (sodas in general) and increase my intake of water. In the past week, I have had two cans of Diet Pepsi and one fountain drink of Diet Mountain Dew -- this is quite a feat!

I haven't noticed any physical effects except that I seem to be thirstier now that I'm drinking water, thus having to pee more. It's more the psychological. I like to sit at my desk with a fizzing can of Diet Pepsi in front of me. It just FEELS right.

I'm not saying I'm giving up sodas all together, but if drinking more water becomes a new norm, that can only be good.

Slow

It does not inspire confidence in Verizon, my internet service provider, that the Verizon website is the slowest website I ever have to access.

Spicy

I have been remiss in recording Holly's gems these days, so here's one from yesterday.

Holly, after eating a bunch of highly seasoned French fries: Mommy, my butt hurts.
Me: Why does your butt hurt, honey?
Holly: It's full of spices.
