Two Happy Things — No, More Than Two
Okay, first, Mom is taking me to O’Charley’s tonight for Prime Rib! We were going to wait until Magdalena’s reopens, but O’Charley’s, in a burst of corporate jollity, sent my husband, Charlie, a discount card and today is the last day it’s good. Charlie detests eating out. We can only suppose they sent everybody named Charles a card.
Second, I forgot to tell you in yesterday’s list that I also successfully jiggered my electronic tablet to not drop me off the internet every time it loaded the Google Search. GEEK ALERT Turns out it’s a conflict between a new Javascript on the Google Search page and “older” (a year or two) tablets. Can’t be resolved. If this is happening to you, disable the Wi-Fi, load the browser, select a different default search engine, set a different home page than Google browser, and set your default bookmark to something other than Google browser. Then close the browser and re-enable wi-fi. END GEEK ALERT
Third, we’re getting three foody places in the area soon: Magdalena’s will be opening soon, in a new location but still nearby; Point Blank Brewing Company will soon be opening in the old Magdalena’s location; and a shop selling “wine, cheese, gourmet food, gifts” called Red, White, and Blush is getting ready to open where Colokial was. Hmm-hmm-hmmm-hmmmm
Okay, meanwhile, here are some website that make-a me happy:
ZooBorns – Who wouldn’t be happy, looking at pictures of cute little baby animals?
I Think; Therefore, I Yam (Cogito Ergo Spud) – One of the funniest women on God’s green earth. This link leads directly to one particular keyboard-baptizing post, but they’re all good.
Life On The Muskoka River – Another of the funniest women on God’s green earth, eh?
I got my hair cut yesterday, and had compliments on it, which rather saddened me, since it will never look that way again. I don’t style my own hair; I enter into negotiations with it.
Tomorrow is Caturday, you know, and Sunday is Sample Sunday. Oh! And tomorrow is the first of the month, too, so I’ll have a new Hot Flash for you and the three Summer Reading Trail stories will vanish from this blog, so go to the Free Reads page and find them while you can!
A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Write a scene with beer, good food, hair and cute little baby animals in it. Canada is optional.
