I Know What You Need

Shopping!
I love Sarah She knows just the right thing to say.
"Let's go shopping!"
So, this afternoon, Sarah and I will go and have an "intense shopping session"
I think Paul is worried. I promised Mark I will keep it down to only eight bags.
One morning when Mark was still home, I told him I wasn't getting out of the bed until he returned home.
He threaten to call my mum.
Then he suggested if I get too depressed, I could go shopping with Sarah.
I asked if I could get that in writing.
I do have to get something for a baby shower. I'd working on a blanket, but it won't be ready in time. But I am thinking diapers. Babies go through them like Mark through peanuts.
I am also baking a birthday cake this weekend for two year old Isabel. A sugarless cake. It seems that no bakery in Tidewater makes sugarless cake. I find that strange. So, Miriam asked if I would try. I will be making a sample cake this afternoon before Sarah comes over. Praying the adaptions I found work. I think it will. I may adaptions to my Challah recipe and everyone loves it. It is so much lighter, just sweet enough.
Anyway, much to do today, so I will get back to this later.
I also send a reminder to Mark to add a comment or two. After all, this is 'a Reel Thing"

Paul and Sarah have just left. The kitchen is now clean. Paul not only found the problem I was having with the WebCam, (I needed to turn up the volumn on my computer) but he also changed the light bulb. Both Sarah and Paul were very sweet; listerning to me go on and on about Mark. As Paul said the blessing for the meal, he included Mark and his unit.
It was fun getting out with Sarah. I found some things for the baby shower this Sabbath. And it hurt so much to buy tiny pink things for a little person that isn't yours. But I also know that it will be a blessing. I still long for the day Mark and I will have our own child(ren)
David didn't make it over today. So I have to go shopping in the morning for the cake fixings. I have several ideas for the birthday cake. I will have to work on it though tomorrow.
It is has been, all and all, a very good day and I am very tired. I did keep my word; I brought home less than eight bags.
6:30am comes very quickly.
