But I watched the final episode of LOST last night. Even though I have never watched LOST. And guess what? It made me cry. So what I have learned from this experience is that I never have to watch an entire movie or follow a series or read a complete book again. All I have to do is cut to the chase, have a good weep and be done with it.
I thought I might talk about handling rejections this morning--sort of the do's and don'ts--but instead I have to say it's snowing here in Salt Lake City. On May freaking 25th. I'm holding Ken personally responsible since he's always all I HATE THE HEAT! I NEVER WANT TO LIVE IN ARIZONA! LET'S TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER RIGHT NOW! That's why my beloved and I are living in a state where it can snow 9 months out of the year.
He just called up the stairs to tell me he brought me home a surprise 12 pack of Dr. Pepper. Clearly he's trying to get on my good side.

readers write
so this week the desnews forwarded me a seven page letter from a reader who wants to help me to choose the right by not choosing caffeine. especially the kind of caffeine i accidentally took to church once in the form of a dr. pepper can. which was full.
i would write this reader to tell him/her thanks for his/her concern. but oops! he/she forgot to include his/her return address! and also sign his/her name!
it's always an interesting experience to be on the receiving end of an anonymous letter. i used to find them disturbing, sometimes even mildly threatening in their anonymity.
now? well. basically i just think she/he would have felt better about the endeavor if he/she had felt brave enough to sign the letter. owning up is better than owning up, i think.
it's hard, though!

Just heard from a reader who says there is such a thing as Dr. Pepper made with pure sugar cane?!!!! Can it be true? And where can I find it?

What I Did Today Instead of Write
1. Go grocery shopping
2. Fill up the car
3. Take assorted crap out of my car such as a box of kitty litter, a present for my niece, and several empty Dr. Pepper cans
4. Make chicken popovers for my niece's shower
5. Drive to Bountiful and buy cupcakes for my niece's shower from Parsons Bakery, which is usually an outstanding bakery, but okay I really have to give today's dry and messy-looking cupcakes a failing grade
6. Give my niece a shower (actually my mother-in-law threw the shower--we just used my house)
7. Watch the end of the BYU/Air Force game
8. Watch the Utah/SDSU game
9. Read IN TOUCH magazine to find out if Angelina is pregnant again and if Brad does, in fact, feel trapped
