Dinkin' Around Day

Hey, A.

I am in vacation mode in a major way....I have been dinkin' around today--all day. I slept in, read a little, cleaned out one of my kitchen cupboards, then went out to mail Netflix and my car loan payment. I ended up at Michael's and a couple other stores, and finally got back home at 2. I put my new 75 cent white snowflake garland on my tree (it occurred to me that something was missing), made myself lunch (that curried chicken salad, but on a bagel today), and thought about whether I wanted to take myself out to dinner tonight or go out for lunch tomorrow. In the spirit of vacation, I decided that a grown-up lunch will be a good vacation thing to do. I can go out to dinner with W this weekend, and any night of the school week for that matter. I don't often get to be a lady who lunches, however. So tonight I'll try another new recipe and will make Gorgonzola pear quesadillas when I get hungry. If I had apples and brie on hand, I'd try that too. I thought for me it can be lunch or dinner in a pinch, but 1/4 of one, served artfully with a bit of lightly tossed salad would be a great first course for a dinner party. Anyway, back to my play-by-play. (Dear Diary, I am on vacation.) After lunch, I changed wallets (I think my new wallet would look good with your new bag, btw) and finally figured out my Bluetooth. Now I'm thinking about heading upstairs to clean my tub and shower--my least favorite chore in all the world--but am clearly procrastinating just a little while longer. Maybe I'll wash and spin my romaine lettuce first.

I tell you again, I want to be a stay at home mom, without kids. lolol

Hope you're having a good day.

Love, B

PS So you finished The Glass Castle. Craziness. In one word. That's exactly what D said. She also said it's so friggin' crazy you can't make it up. Compelling, disturbing, riveting, all of those things. I suppose now that I have two BFFs giving it a thumbs up, I should put it on my list of things to read. Maybe this summer.
