Vivitar digital camera I bought at the Unclaimed Baggage store when my parents were here and gave it a try. I think I mentioned that I got it for $20, with the sole intention of carrying it around in my purse in case I should come across something I wanted to take a picture of. Anyway, I snapped a few pictures to see how they’d come out.
Apparently I’m high. And in desperate need of makeup.
Spot, in the window. Open a window in the front of the house, and the cats are FASCINATED.
So yeah, it doesn’t take gorgeous or particularly sharp pictures, but it’s certainly a good enough just-in-case camera to leave in my purse (I don’t like to carry my good camera around too much, because I really sling that purse around sometimes). At least good enough ’til I get one of those Razr phones I’m coveting.
The Unclaimed Baggage store ROCKS. I should start checking it out every month or so; if nothing else, the book selection is pretty damn good.

I have an appointment for a cut and color next week. I think I’m going to go about two inches shorter and two shades lighter. I want to stay with brown hair, just a bit lighter. Now that I protect my hair with a baseball cap when I go out walking, it doesn’t see much sun, so it doesn’t get light, the way it has in the past.
Just watch – next thing you know, I’ll be going platinum blond!
(No, not really…)

Two pets you had/have:
1. My very first pet that belonged to me and me alone was a hamster named Laverne (my sister got Laverne’s sister, aptly named Shirley)
2. Not our first dog, but the one we had her entire life was our dog,
Taffy. She was a good girl, Taffy, and it chaps my ass to see the stuff my parents’ current dog, Benji, gets away with that Taffy never did. For instance, Taffy was only allowed in the living room ONE DAY of the year, on Christmas morning. Benji, on the other hand, hangs out in the living room ALL the time. Spoiled rotten brat.
Two things you did last night:
1. Took a very hot bath because I was FREEZING.
2. Got pissed off at the cats, who kept tromping over me as though I was a RUG or part of the FLOOR. I got them back, though – I sprayed them all with compressed air, and scared the bejesus out of them. Fuckers.

1. Lonestar
2. Graziano’s in Lisbon, Maine

Two favorite holidays:
1. Christmas.
2. My birthday. What? It’s a holiday to ME!

Currently
reading:
Skinny Dip, by Carl Hiaasen. I just love the hell out of Carl Hiaasen, and every time I read his books about the zany characters of south Florida, it makes me want to move down there.
Recently finished:
The Big Nap, by Ayelet Waldman. I’m really, REALLY liking this series, and I lucked out, because VERY cool reader Kimberly sent me the next three in the series, so I don’t have to go out and buy them. Kimberly ROCKS.

Yeah, I know. The entries are lacking a little in substance these days. What can I say? There’s just not much going on!
If there’s anything specific you’d like me to write about, leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do. Don’t be asking about my sex life, though, or I’ll have to tell you all the story about how incredibly flexible I’ve become, and how I smacked Fred in the side of his head with my foot the other day because he was being rude during an intimate moment.
And no one wants to hear about THAT.

2005: By this time the investigator’s eyes had glazed over, and he was clearly thinking “This has WHAT to do with reliability?”
2004: When I was on the pier, the bream darted forward to partake of my delicious thighs, and I stomped across the pier as fast as I could, saying “STOP IT, YOU FUCKERS!” and I stomped up the steps to the top part of the pier, and waited for Fred to take his face out of the water.
2003: No entry.
2002: No entry.
2001: But. It. Was. Too. Far. From. Huntsville.
2000: Oh look, it’s Robyn, bitching. How unusual.]]>
