lately



 oh, the crazy things I've been putting in my body lately



I've always had this crazy dream of trying a New York City hot dog.

You know, the kind from the really sketchy street vendors

that could be made up of God-knows-what

but they still have this smell to them that just screams

"eat me!"

I've always wanted to try one.

Well, I didn't try one on this trip.

I wanted to. Terribly badly.

But I stuck to my guns.

Instead, I've been eating a lot of grapes and crackers

and A and I made some fantastic avocado sandwiches

while I was with his family for a few days.

Go me.

Hopefully I can cover my six day New York to Maryland trip

in detail later,

but for now let's say that it was

legen -wait for it - dary

and that I am so very grateful for the people in my life.

My girls from Scotland and my favorite guy

are right up there on that list.

Oh, and I went to the gynecologist for the first time ever yesterday,

after successfully avoiding it for years.

Not so bad.

But having a conversation about your life plans

while some little old man is poking around in your lady parts?

Not my idea of a good morning.

(He did think my side tattoo was pretty sweet though).

And to those of you who started following while I was away - thank you!!

I never expected anyone to follow this blog.

It's nothing more than a collection of my thoughts,

which I wouldn't expect to be interesting to anyone.

But to come back and see that you guys are interested,

amused,

entertained,

whatever,

It was the nicest of surprises :) 

So if there's something you enjoy or want to see more of -

please, let me know!
