Not Much to Say

Hello.

It isn't often that I don't have an opinion or a thought that I'd like to share. My brain is always contemplating something in the universe. Today though, my brain had a quiet day. I think that the busy-ness of yesterday in NYC jammed my nerve endings and they are trying to re-route their pathways.

Today I spent a lot of time with my two sons. We did errands together and spent time shopping at the mall. It was fun spending time with my boys. They are totally different than girls. (I know, I'm going to be considered sexist.) Both of my boys, when shopping for clothes, had to be "redirected" to help pick out useful clothing. They were more interested in baseball caps than the shorts we needed to buy. When I had to get special soap for our bathrooms, they took off to FYE to check out the lastest movie releases. When I needed to get a Father's Day gift (for my dad), I was dragged off to the video game store to see if the latest Nintendo game was in stock. The only place they willingly followed me into was Gertrude Hawks-to get a chocolate treat.

Still I enjoyed the afternoon with them. The banter revolved more around electronic stuff and cars than fashion and friends. There was no leisure walk, stopping to look in store windows and chat. When I saw a friend, I said a quick hello and good-bye because idle talk wasn't programmed into the "XY" computer.

Even so, I had fun. When we got into the house, there was no fashion show to show off our purchases. There was no line-by-line account of "she said this" or "she said that". There wasn't even so much as a discussion of what the next shopping trip should entail. I just turned off the car; heard three doors slam and walked into the house to "Hi Donna, what's for dinner?"

That's okay. It was great just to hang out with my boys.

Have hope,
Donna
