I sat out on the deck today in the Silk-Road-esque heat, slowly eating the topping off four pieces of pizza, while the sun first baked my still-bald scalp, and then made my upper lip break out in moisture so profuse, I was under the impression (for a little while) that I had bitten in to a hot pepper.
Afterwards, I crunched down the last of the ice cream we had for my baby's FOURTEENTH BIRTHDAY GOD HELP US, and thought about meaningful things like the fact that my baby brother will never be thirteen any more (thank God for small favors), and this ice cream would be really good with coffee flavor, and meaningful things like that.

I love an Ordinary Summer Day.

Especially in Spring.

How poetic.

14 = awesome age, only slightly paling in comparison to being 13. And what wouldn't be better with coffee flavor?

Raspberry wouldn't, I don't care what anyone says.

I like to think we still have some cool weeks left before summer starts. Shh, I'm in denial.

Who would ever PUT raspberry and coffee together? I mean, other than a sadistic terrorist who has a thing for frozen food. Or maybe against frozen food...
