The Rock is playing on Tivo. I am drinking amazing Tea given to me by one sister, out of a cool teacup from Japan given to me by my other sister. And I am reading random post on wordpress.

Not bad for a rainy Saturday.

But I am amazed at how boring blogs can be. I always keep my post short , because if I write about onion soup - it doesn't need to be long. I swear some of these people were falling asleep as they posted. Your story of how you met should at least interest you.

I always keep my post short

amen. My rule on lj is: if the scroll bar appears before I'm done composing I need to put in a cut. I have taken people off my friends list for violating this rule too much. My friends list doesn't really reflect who my actual friends are though, it's more like who I enjoy reading. If I find I'm not able to keep up with my friends list I drop somebody.

I've stumbled across a couple of blogs that have longer posts that are interesting, but they are excited about whatever they are talking about. I just know me - I write better when I keep it shorter.

I don't mind the longer posts as long as there's a paragraph once in a while to give my eyes a break. I'd still prefer a cut, though.

The rain stopped - and the sun came out very briefly-The light was intense. I grab the camera just to see what i could get - pictures posted later

Oh, Nora. I'm so very sorry.

I'm sorry to be a downer about all this.

I feel a little bad, because my parents are still in town tonight and I kind of declined going out to dinner with them because I just sort of don't want to leave the house. We're getting Chinese takeout and I'm in my sweats and we're watching TiVo.

Things are going to get back on track though. I'm glad that the weather this week won't be horribly cold again.

I am looking forward to having other stuff to talk about!

Thanks for your good thoughts and wishes, all.

Nora- please don't feel bad. Grief is a very personal process and you shouldn't have to justify your choices right now. If you don't feel like going out that's OK.

What laga Said.

Indeed.

Coffee:

There's finally a non-StarBucks coffee shop within a reasonable drive of home. It's a chain, I think, but not a huge one. Called Buon Giorno, I think (sp?). The wonderful thing is that there is WiFi here, and it's FREE! Not only that, but there are plenty of power outlets out on the patio for my laptop, too. It's a little cold, but there are the nifty gas "people broiler" heaters out here.

ION, I need to find a new place to live. This sucks, for I've only been in my current apartment for a year. I've moved at least once a year since 1997. That's a decade of moving. I'm sooooo not into moving right now.
