On Friday, May 17, I began a six-day stint of watching my friend Bob's two—most gentle, beautiful, and sweet—Cocker Spaniels, Frances and Vincent. I decided to create a Facebook page for them, and then request that he be their friend—as a fun way for him to keep "in touch" with them while he as gone, … Read more
~Tuesday~ Also on that list of movies that were billed as “the best movies you never saw” that I mentioned in yesterday’s bog entry was a movie called “Last Night.” Bob also had that one ready for me to watch this week, and I watched it tonight. Synopsis: Joanna (Keira Knightley) and Michael Reed (Sam … Read more
~Monday~ Several weeks ago now, I came across a list of movies that were billed as “the best movies you never saw,” and after looking through the list, I asked my friend Bob if he would check to see if five of them were available through Netflix. He went ahead and ordered two of them, … Read more
~Sunday~ Today was both Mostly Social Book Club and Salon. Mostly Social Book Club met at the Crossroad Panera in Cary, and we discussed A Fault in Our Stars by John Green, which everyone had finished except Sharon, who ironically, was the person who recommended this book. It's my turn to pick our next book, … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 4:30 after going to bed at 10:30, waking up and not being able to fall back asleep. I love being up early on the days I can manage it, but obviously not enough to get my ass to bed earlier to make it happen more often. The gym opens at … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 6:00, and I put the filling in the deviled eggs, before showering and heading over to Bob’s for the 2013 MICU Yard Sale. Their MICU (Medical ICU) sale was part of the larger Mordecai Community Sale (as it is every year) that was going on today. I stopped at Krispy … Read more

~Wednesday~ I’ve seen this “recipe” floating around Facebook for a couple of weeks now, so I decided to try it tonight. Here’s how it’s “billed” on Facebook: Here’s the blow-by-blow of how it worked out for me: I was afraid it was going to be a lot harder to cut than it actually was, so … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 6:00, showered, packed, and was doing one last check of all the drawers to make sure I hadn’t left anything in any of them. Although I was pretty sure I hadn’t put anything in the nightstand drawer, I opened it to check it anyway, and squealed when I saw this … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at around 8 or 8:15, since I sent directly to bed when we got home last night, and I was out within minutes of my head hitting the pillow. I started off the morning with the standard complimentary breakfast on the deck near and below my room, which by now has … Read more
