reminiscing...

my newest addiction:






i think it was my obsession with orange slices growing up that led me to this impulse buy at the grocery store. as long as i can remember winterfresh was the flavor of choice only because it was competing with wintergreen, cinnamon, and bubblemint...gross. but hey, those were the only sugarfree flavors out there. occasionally i'd sneak the juicy fruit but that flavor only lasts 10 seconds when you chew it fast. times have changed and more flavors are coming out so i thought it was time for me to branch out. tough decision...do i buy citrusmint, raspberry mint, lemon-lime, or mint mojito. i got the cirtus one...you know...orange slices, summer, refreshing...it appealed to my inner child. 3 packs later, i got the raspberry mint. it tastes like cough syrup but i got used to it. still not number one in my book but it satisfies the right craving. 3 more packs later, mint mojito was the kicker. not so good, but decent. definitely does not rival real mojitos. it's a teaser to the real thing. now i'm left with lemon-lime and whatever flavor they decide to come up with next. gosh darnit, i can't stop chewing the damn things...

museum fun.

the nelson...my favorite place in kc. where else would i want to go for my birthday rather than wandering around the new bloch building after a few glasses of wine, on a gorgeous night, and with someone who enjoys art, architecture, and the scenery that the nelson gives. the place is magical.

i'm so ready for it to open.

25

I'm a quarter of a century old today. It was 25 long years ago that I was born. I find myself asking with what does this 25th year bring? I can only think of one thing...being able to rent a car.
