Snowing, s-n-o-w-i-n-g, s-n--o---w----i-----n------g

wow, a wintery blast out there.  went out for a walk and was glad i hadn't waited till later — it was already pretty bad.  looks a lot better from behind my front windows.  (and some wine and a Star Trek Voyager episode help, too.)

came across a treasure-trove of ebooks today — four thousand seven hundred twelve, to be exact — but had more difficulty finding a way to read them.  (they're in a .mobi format, and Macs aren't the best for free readers.)  but i found some freeware called calibre that did the trick.

heh, just what i need — more books.  :-)

bravo Congress! DADT repealed!

Whoo Hoo!  the U.S. Senate has voted to end the 'Don't Ask; Don't Tell' policy in the military!  (the House has already approved such a measure.)

hooray progress!

rainy sun day

tears are still drying from watching 'Leap Year'; better than yesterday after 'Kissing Jessica Stein' since by it i'm not driven towards being a lesbian (which you *know* i'd have trouble with).  makes me want to go to Ireland, though, and that has its own level of sadness.  at least i still feel alive, crying or no.


much love to all the mates.


happy days,
   D.

[rock on! getting close to a new month, and even a new year — time for embracing changes and getting on with life! whoo-hoo!]

good evening from Sweet Bites

mellowing out in a soft chair at the coolio café near my new apartment. muscles sore from a day of loading & unloading furniture into & out of a U-Haul van, after a late night of packing and preparing to say "good-bye" to one place and "hello" to another.

big furniture delivery tomorrow—sofa, recliner, cocktail tables, TV stand, mattress & boxspring, and a pub table & chairs—yay!. home at last. and it culminates more than a week of gracious help, care, and support with and through the whole moving process from my best friend & primary decorating consultant, Barb: thank you, thank you, thank you!

thank Thor for ibuprofen, right? 800 milligrams thrice per day gets us mortals through.

sun has set before 5pm; night is falling. two bottles of Snapple empty on the table next to me. Peach Mangosteen Immunity & Noni Berry Refresh. time to go home.

Margarita's, Framingham, opening night

to the woman in Margarita's on opening night (16 November 2010): hello, i just wanted to buy you a Corona. i didn't want your number. i didn't want your name. you waved to me on my way out and said hello, and that was enough. i thought you were pretty, and i wanted to buy you a drink. that was all. enjoy!

home stretch

thank you, universe, for revealing my new place to live. i will take life in a series of sweet bites now, if you'll pardon the insider's pun.

c'mon, café paradise! coming to the home stretch now . . . almost there.

i asked and i received. sometimes life rocks! yay, world; yay, people.
