Lunch

I love Tuesdays for one very good reason. "One Tree Hill" comes on Tuesday night. Just kidding. Although I do love "One Tree Hill", and I know I shouldn't, Tuesday is all about lunch. Everything divides itself into two categories; before lunch and after lunch.

A sampling:
Before lunch - ballet
After lunch - lessons
Before lunch - dishes
After lunch - laundry
Before lunch - bluegrass
After lunch - George Winston

Lunchtime converstion is always stimulating and worthwhile. Even when it's silly. Maybe especially when it's silly. After all, conversation with adults is very important to a stay-at-home mother. Nearly four year olds don't hold intense conversations.

Another sampling:

-The Napoleon joke really was funny every time.
-Keanu Reeves may not have an act button, but he sure is cute.
-Speaking of Sandra Bullock, I'll be watching "Premonition" with the stupid ending this weekend.
-I think we should see "Joseph" no matter what she says. After all, who is she to tell us how to support our friends?
-And really, something completely inane after "Closetland" may be a great idea.

Lunch itself is food. Sometimes good, sometimes not as good, but when eaten with friends, it doesn't really matter. It's the ritual of gathering, of sharing a few moments out of our busy lives that's important. I know how busy we all are, and therefore, I have alot to be grateful for.

A final sampling:

-Thank you for sharing molten chocolate cake and ice cream.
-Thank you for always being excited to see me. I'm always excited to see you!
-Thank you for sharing stories of your life and being willing to listen to stories of mine.
-Thank you for acceptance, honesty and unconditional friendship.
-THANK YOU!!!

My adult conversation comes in the form of a weekly primary meeting, which we had tonight with no kids! Our conversation danced around the primary stuff, and merged into having kids, Edward and Bella, and Chia Pets.

I adore you, and yes, we're going to see Joseph FOR SURE.

I may have to snap my Napolean spoon at her!!
