Notes from Saturday

~I have two comments from people NOT trying to sell me something. Lordy, I didn't think there was anyone out there! Thanks, Terrance and Lucy Jane! I'm verklempt. Seriously.

~I'm trying to post every day, just as an exercise, even if I'm writing useless stuff that makes me cringe the next day. I did okay until my husband came home, and now, yow, forget it. His needs - which are minimal, really, but involve seeing my face unlit by the glow of my computer screen - just put me over the edge, timewise. Right now, for instance, I have about five minutes until we leave for the evening, so long posts with any thought behind then whatsoever are not in the cards.

~Last night I paid off my last credit card. Okay, it's not that big a deal - it's not like I had tens of thousands on plastic (hell, no, that kind of honor is reserved for my friends at the student loan place) - but I always had just enough going on to keep them at $2-3k. Now - gone, except for a hundred bucks that should go away as soon as LLBean processes my refund.

~So, to celebrate - and this is for Terrance and Lucy Jane, who read my bitter little rant about being Spinach to my husband - I went out with the same to see how many bottles of wine we could find off a list of fabulous-but-cheap-wines I clipped from the Globe. We didn't do that well - we were hoping for 10 bottles and ended up with 4, but the list and the wine store were organized at distinct cross-purposes, so what can you do. I'll post when we try them and horrify any poor wine snob who comes across blog. Cheers!
