Quesadillas at R.P. Tracks. If only the train would go by...
Blue Moon, even when they don't have oranges. I keep forgetting to bring my own.
Free wi-fi.
My netbook, source of this blog post.
Hopefully my new purse will be one of my favorite things. After spending the better part of a day shopping online (following several unsuccessful in-person shopping trips), I chose a rather unusual style made from recycled candy and soda wrappers. My contribution to the "green economy." And large enough for my netbook and everything else that won't fit in the pockets of my skinny jeans.
Free shipping, for both my netbook and the purse that will eventually carry it.
Being ignored by my waiter is NOT one of my favorite things. But knowing that he just read that sentence over my shoulder makes up for it.
Off to the grocery store, also not one of my favorite things. But I'm much better prepared now than I was before I stuffed myself full of quesadilla and beer. If only the train had gone by...

The Second Post of 2009
Since yesterday's was the first, which didn't really occur to me until I "viewed" my blog today. I've been really bad about doing this, haven't I?
Unfortunately, this will have to be short, as I am off to stimulate the local economy by having dinner with a friend. If there were tax credits for eating out, I'd have a guaranteed refund instead of owing like I usually do.

For Anna, with love
It's nice to know you're missed...
So the last time I did this was in December, when my sunroom was full of Christmas tree. Now it's March, and my sunroom still has lingering Christmas tree needles. I can honestly say that it's not just my poor blog that I've been neglecting. I've had the most rotten case of the winter blues that I can ever remember. The fact that it's supposed to be 31 degrees and precipitating in some frozen form tonight is not helping things. Especially since it was 80 degrees yesterday. It was about 70 degrees last Sunday, and the Sunday before that there was six inches of snow on the ground. Apparently the weather in Memphis suffers from bi-polar disorder.
I am blogging this from my new netbook. Binky the Third, my old, reliable laptop, has served me well for almost five years and, while still ticking along, he's starting to show his age. So I invested in a new toy, which would easily fit into a decent-sized purse if I had one. I've always been a "stuff in my pockets" type of girl, mainly because I'm really bad about leaving stuff places if it's not in my pockets. But Binky IV will not fit in my pocket, so I'm going to have to acquire a decent-sized purse. Actually, now that skinny jeans are making a comeback, there's very little that does fit in my pockets these days, so I guess the purse will come in handy.
I feel like the whole world has changed since December, and I can't even begin to describe how different it is. But, on the other hand, it's not all that different. The alleycat is still overweight; the kitten is still behaving badly. My fiance is still not my spouse, and I'm still happily living in the city. The Eagles have still not won a Super Bowl.
More for another post. Someday spring will really be in the air, and -- now that I figured out how to reset the password on my wireless router -- I will be able to blog from my back deck. No purse necessary.
