Fat Buzzy Bumblebees

I seem to have wandered away from my love fest. This just isn't acceptable and it's bound to get me in trouble! I really do enjoy a good bitch session, but what I am generally feeling like and what I'm writing are not aligned. My cranky tangents must at least be tempered with some kind of squishy, admiration. I feel the need to jump back in with the grace of a belly flop. So, I am going to share with you a few of the things I could not do without!
The very first thing is fat buzzy bumblebees. I haven't seen these in years. This year however, they have set up residence outside my front door. I love it! The wasps that were there last year scared the crap out of me, but bumblebees are my friends! For most of my life I believed they couldn't sting me and I took the time to admire them. Some big meany felt the need to inform me otherwise, but I simply refuse to acknowledge it! I love the way they slowly fly around in search of sweetness. The deep lazy buzz that escapes them is very soothing to me. They are more like an animal than an insect. If one ever stopped to say hi, I just might pet it!
The next super excellent thing is a donut. Donuts are the food of the Gods, I am certain of it. My affection for a bit of round, glazed goodness is so great that I may one day write a whole piece about that alone. I will, in truth, enjoy just about any kind of donut without any regret whatsoever. Two or three might cause a bit of guilt. But if I eat them alone in the car, no one knows do they? Jelly, custard, cake, fritter, chocolate...the list is endless. Raised glazed has to be the ultimate donut though! Yum. Krispy Kreme and Kwik Trip have the absolute BEST raised glazed action around. When my son was 3, we used to walk about a mile or so in the Florida sunshine to Dunkin Donuts. A couple times a week we would make the journey. Me happily pushing the stroller along and his happy little self enjoying the ride. When we arrived, I would get a drink and a toasted coconut donut. He would pick out the donut or donut holes that appealed to him most at that moment and a decaf with extra cream and sugar. (he's actually a middle aged man trapped in that little body)
These are some of the fondest memories I have of my boy. He still loves his donuts!
Since I seem to be wordy today I'll just add one more for now. This is a new addition to my world and something you would have to pry from my cold dead fingers...the iPhone! Wow! This may seriously be even more sweet than a DVR.(which I will continue to love unconditionally even though I haven't watched TV in months) The iPhone has quite literally put the internet in the palm of my hand. I often end up waiting for someone to do something while I am stuck with nothing to do. Now, I can check emails, play games, take pictures, identify unidentifiable music, get out my light saber, record myself talking and send it to you and flick my bic. I can no longer remain lost in a scary place due to the GPS, I know what the weather is going to be like, It wakes me up in the morning and helps me see in the dark. It helped hang a picture and can tell me my pulse rate. Oh ya and I can use it to call and text people! The options are endless! Best of all, I can Facebook! Super sweet!
