Mundane Morsel

Sometimes life is just daily

April 28, 2014

Gun show

by Megan Stocker in Between Meals, Mindful Morsel


She assigned me the role of Gaston in our latest staging of Beauty and the Beast.

I guess I have been hitting the weights pretty hard lately. My cap sleeve tops are definitely feeling snug.

But with the exception of fending off bingo wings, vanity's not my motivation.

I want to match my outer grit to my inner grit.

I want to lift my own bag (no matter how stuffed with high heels it is) into the overhead compartment.

I want to drop and give you 30 from my toes, not my knees.

I want to be no less formidable to her future suitors.

I want to carry all of the groceries (and wine) in one trip.

I want to play on the monkey bars too.

I want to eat salsa or green olives or goat milk caramel when I want to, even when it's a new jar.

I want to carry my pooped princess upstairs to bed until she won't let me anymore.
