Must . . . have . . . sugar . . .

I'm still trying to hang on until the end of the month on the no sugar thing. Yesterday I dreamt about chocolate-covered shortbread cookies, chocolate-covered potato chips, ice cream and banana bread. And I was eating all of them, and I was soooooooo disappointed when the phone rang and woke me up.

I'm about ready to crack.

We bought an ice cream maker yesterday.

Light Rail

The girls and I went to the grand opening of the Light Rail line on Saturday (which Fiona, despite being corrected innumerable times, still tends to call the Monorail). We had to wait about an hour to get on and stand up on the ride downtown. They said that about 30,000 people rode it the first day. I think I might try it at lunch time today to hop between downtown stops.

I'm still ticked at the city for ripping up all the street car lines in the 1950s. We had hundreds of miles of lines. And they were all destroyed and the cars burned. What a short-sighted waste.
