we slept in late had rice omelets for brunch and went and grabbed a few things from the farmers market . I am going to make some beet chips . We went evening shopping last night and spent all the money on all the cheese ,plus some other things so we can eat all the food. Matt is on call this week so it is good to make things easy and tasty.

So I am thinking about food, not the news

I have the most boring diet--voluntarily. I dislike being challenged by my food.

I boiled some eggs, made egg salad, added tuna to half and now have several sandwich meals of each kind of salad. I used up the last of the elbow macaroni (already finished off the shells) and the last of the butter and the cottage cheese along with sharp cheddar and made several servings of mac&cheese. I've a freezer full of veg to add at opportune times, and fruit chunks for dessert. I filled the rice cooker and have several servings of rice ready to go, and made a pot of pinto beans. They can be had with mac&cheese and some kind of greens, or over rice with a bit of tabasco and black pepper.

I love clearing out the fridge and pantry and getting to start with fresh stuff.

I always eat the same stuff. I go to the store thinking "My meals are dull, let's get something else," then I never eat it because when I'm ready to eat I'm too tired to eat something unfamiliar. I'm thinking Spinster Chow might not be a bad concept. Based off mashed potatos.

We went to a company thing of husband's that I was worried might be just bowling, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but turned out to have unlimited video game playing, so we spent like three hours doing that. That was pretty entertaining.

David MyLastName in St. Petersburg, FL, just bought him some vitamins at GNC and had the receipt sent to my email. Exciting day for both him and me.

I did nothing all morning, went out to get a massage and also bought new bras, and now have a load of laundry in. Perfect.

This evening I went to a talk for what might be one of the best photography books ever published, and there were maybe six people there.

I joined some friends at a coffee house (which is nowadays more of a bar/restaurant) to watch the Carolina Courage (NC women's pro soccer) win the final game in what's apparently a very winning season. It was fun. I'm glad I went.

Calli I was at that game, in the front row with friends? It was cool because the thorns beat my rlyeam (the Reign) so we were rooting against them

Timelies all!

Went to the Maryland Ren Fest. The weather was nice, so it was a good day for it. After dinner, we went to a party held by friends of ours for a bit. Tired now.

Took me a second to figure out what the soccer team was doing under the table. (Seeking shelter from rain.)

I'm trying to think what photographers I'd turn out to see a lecture on...Diane Arbus, Sally Mann, William Eggleston, Ed van der Elsken, Anders Petersen, Christer Strömholm, Vivian Maier, Robert Frank, Nan Goldin, Peter Hujar, Avedon, Mapplethorpe, David Bailey...
