So if we’re being honest, it’s hard for me to think about anything but the Olympics right now.
Maybe because it’s going in the background? As it always is every night from about 8-11.
We might be slightly pathetic.
Or, possibly, extremely devoted fans.
Take your pick. 
The Fab 5 was awesome last night. That was fun to watch…crazy to think that it’s been sixteen years since the U.S. women took the gold. That was almost half my life ago, and I remember that night in ’96 very well. Time flies.
More like travels on a high-speed jet.
So it’s been awhile since we’ve just chatted, and words just come easier when there’s caffeine involved.
Especially since it was an early-ish morning.
Dr. appointment.
7:30 a.m.
I didn’t even know that kind of thing existed.
Sorta like 7:00 a.m. college classes…they only existed at my college. True. (I think.)
Anyway, my new doctor confirmed what I almost would have bet the farm on…
Buh-Bye, Gall Bladder. It’s been fun.
Or not.
I meet with a surgeon on Tuesday, and hopefully it will all be over with soon after that. Not a fan of hospitals or anesthetic or horribly revealing hospital gowns…so you kinda get where I’m goin’ with this. It IS interesting how I remember that pain from the other night, though…and I remember it enough to be willing to go through with this. I’m even a little more willing after this afternoon when I got to experience it all over again…thankfully for a much shorter time period. But still.
Ok, way too much info for you all, I’m sure.
Whoever knew a (just about completely useless) random organ in the body could cause so much trouble?
That might be one of the first things I ask God when I get to heaven.
So Mae’s vocabulary has been completely exploding lately. She’s been pretty good with complete sentences for awhile, but she threw us a shocker the other night. She was watching an episode of Strawberry Shortcake (yes, yes, judge me now…) on Netflix, and one of the characters said, We have to go to rehearsal. She looked at Tobin and said, Daddy, they have to go practice!
Say, WHAT?!?!
So not only do I have a girl I can chit-chat with all day long, I now have a walking, two-year old thesaurus.
Wowsers.
I have to admit that watching her grow and learn and become the coolest little girl is totally FUN. Best time in my life ever.
She is just such JOY, and my life is blessed beyond measure simply because I have the privilege to call her my daughter.
And, speaking of that daughter, I need to head upstairs, turn off the lights, and tell her it’s time for bed.
She stayed up, with the light on, reading.
G’nite, friends. Thanks for being here.
