Extremely mild, I know. But it was delicious!

I know what you mean though. Whenever I shop or buy on Sunday, I feel like such a rebel - but then realize I’m not the only one.

A friend from Europe came to visit (here in UT) and was shopping around for something on Sunday and thought some major disaster happened because it was like a ghost town.

It's funny, isn't it, how small things to us now used to be such big things? And doing the small things are big victories.

Like wearing a tank top, and realizing you're not really going to get arrested. Or wearing more than the prescribed amount of earrings, and it's all good. Or getting a breakfast muffin at McD's and taking the edge off your hunger.

And y'all thought I had some Konfessions before.....

I have no desire for anything alcoholic except maybe the occasional gourmet chocolate candy. Love those!

Otherwise, no coffee, tea, etc....just don't like the taste.

Still dress conservatively but then.....I'm old and set in my ways. Although when Mrs. Palerider and I occasionally attend a non-mormon church, I wear a sport coat, shirt (of any color I choose) and tie with blue jeans and nice boots. I know. Radical.

The only thing that bothers my conscience a little is that I do use the "sh1+" word more than I used to. And hell and damn come out occasionally too. Which makes me feel a little hypocritical because I've always felt that a person should be able to express themselves well without the expletives. Lately I've been trying to dial it back.
