By the time I got myself moving to go for a walk, it started raining, so I grocery-shopped instead. And ran into someone I know on the street! After dinner with my neighbor last night, I'm feeling a little like I know people here, which is nice.

I also volunteered myself to organize a meetup for other internet people, so maybe I'll make friends that way? I figure I'll have to be outgoing if I'm the point person, instead of just hiding in the corner....

Ham in quiche, fruit salad and green salad on side

Ooh, fruit salad is a good call. And yeah, a big baguette or something.

Not that I'm making any of this.

Here's me with my new hair--what do y'all think?

Kathy, I love the new hair! You look great!

Oh, wow! That looks great, Kathy!

What goes with quiche, if you're doing dinner instead of brunch? We just had plenty of ham for Easter, so I don't want to go that way, but I'm afraid quiche and salad won't be enough for dinner tomorrow night for my mom.

Some sort of potato dish? Scalloped, maybe? (Of course, potatoes are my answer to everything. Broken toe? Potatoes! Hangover? Potatoes! Busted furnace? Potatoes, goddammit!)

Here's me with my new hair--what do y'all think?

Kathy, that's an awesome color -- you look great!

Burrell, I'm so sorry. Much strength to you and your family.

Very sassy, Kathy!

Awaiting my date. Still freaking out.
