~Friday~ I loved having a day of vacation at home. I was up pretty early, and I got to the gym at a little after 10:00 and finished up right at noon. I loved being done with my workout for the day by noon. I met my friend Ann in Carrboro at a little after … Read more
~Thursday~ I was up at 8:30 this morning, and I went for a 30-minute walk in a desperate attempt not to miss any days of walking this year in spite of having knee surgery. We’ll see. I did some work for about a half hour on last touches to Stan’s University Award for Excellence nomination, … Read more
~Thursday~ Earlier in the week, my wonderful friend Myra invited me to join her and her husband to see this show now playing at the Raleigh Little Theater: By Sarah Ruhl. Co-produced with the Actors Comedy Lab. Gaddy-Goodwin Teaching Theatre January 20 – February 5, 2012 In a quiet cafe a cell phone rings. And … Read more
~Monday~ My friend Jen and I usually meet on a Sunday or Monday night to watch Glee together. However, we usually like to stay two or three episodes behind, and tonight we found ourselves caught up to the penultimate one, so we watched a movie instead. Jen owns this movie, and she has seen it … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was actually ready early this morning, and rather than driving to a nearby Wolfline stop, I killed some time by slicing up a cantaloupe I bought yesterday and emptying my dishwasher. After all that, I almost missed the bus. It pulled up when I was still crossing the street to get to the … Read more
~Monday~ I woke up at 8:30 again, and once again after not being able to fall back asleep for an hour, I got up. In an attempt to salvage some of those dreadful deviled eggs from yesterday, I scooped out the mixture and chopped up the whites of a few of them, which I sautéed … Read more
~Sunday~ I got up at about 9:30 today, after trying to go back to sleep for an hour. I tested the mixture for the deviled eggs, which I immediately didn’t like. It was way too salty and the taste just wasn’t where I wanted it to be. I considered just tossing them all, but then … Read more
~Saturday~  I devised Wednesday’s, Thursday’s and Friday’s blog entries from my phone notes and posted them. I made moves in the many Scrabble games in which it was my turn: I created a doodle.com poll to schedule September’s, October’s, November’s, and December’s Salons and sent the link to the members. I was getting ready to … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was ready between city buses, so I drove up to Avent Ferry and Gorman to catch a university bus. I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village, on which once again, a hot guy thought it would be a good idea to sit holding a banana between his legs. Way distracting. I had no … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was ready at 8:05, this morning and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Avent Ferry and Gorman at 8:10. A guy sitting next to me was reading a book that I couldn’t quite see without being any more obvious. I jotted down: Faber Fritts? as potentially being the author’s name, and … Read more
