Today I pruned some lilacs from the alley. They don't actually originate in the city-owned alley, they originate from another person's yard.
So, I loved-languaged the person whose yard they originate from and I did an act of service by pruning them, just a bit.
Oh, you think I stole them?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? I mean, aren't they everyone's lilacs?
I think so. God surely doesn't apply commandments to his very own creation. Um...
They are pretty regardless.
On another note, I've been seeing a nutritionist, who has effectually banned me from eating carbs. All of them. For just a little while. We'll see how this goes. This includes grains like whole-wheat couscous, quinoa, brown rice, etc. What may hurt more is that it also includes cookies. Even ones made with whole-wheat flour. But, is ice cream really a carb? I may have found a loophole.
On another note, I'm trying to not write this all about my kids. A good friend called this a "mommy blog" and then proceeded to "throw up in [her] mouth" when she called it that. It's hard, though. I don't have much to write about. You may start to see some really great fiction on here.
On yet another note (I've already got four different notes on here-do, re, mi, and fa!) I may learn to tapdance. I have no idea where or when, but this is a non-mommy thing I can do. I really want to learn to sew, but the only reason is so that I can make pretty dresses for miniature people, which MAY be construed as a mommy thing to do, depending on who those mini-people are. I also want to learn to wield knives like Rachel Ray, but this is VERY close to mommy-ish as well, because we all know mommies need to know how to wield knives to mince scallions and make threats more effective. So, tapdancing it is. I could play my trumpet and tap dance at the same time. That would be amazing.
Anyone giving lessons?

If you don't prune lilacs, they don't grow as well, so I think you did them a favor. Also, if you want to learn to tap dance, you'd better check this out first.

I love reading Katie no matter the content.
GO dancing! Can you imagine the pure, unadulterated FUN you will have?! (Hmmm, just what exactly does "unadulterated" mean? That you're having such a good time it's nearly un-adult? Google, here I come...) I am very pro this idea and think I should periodically inquire, "Hey Katie - are you tap dancing yet?" Do it.
And I will not call you a mommy blogger.
Big hugs from VA,

Tell me about this non-carb thing! I've had to extremely limit my carbs since Thanksgiving when I was diagnosed as insulin resistant, so I'm curious if it's something like that.
Are you going absolutely crazy without them? The first week of limiting carbs was the most difficult, as all I could think about was how carbs, and only carbs, would satisfy my snacking urge. And I still get to eat them, just not without protein.
Clarification: It's not the content of the blog that gave me puke mouth, just the actual phrase "mommy blog". I love your content, in fact. There are many people in the world who have blogs but shouldn't--however, you are one that should. How is that for a convoluted complement-ish statement? More direct: you write good, and I miss you.
2nd paragraph. No quinoa or brown rice? Quinoa is so healthy, and makes poops great.
Change the colors of your blog!!!
Yeah, my chiropractor/nutritionist/councilor/holistic wonder woman has banned me from carbs as well. And soymilk. I need my choco soy milk... gaaah!
