It was a perfectly lovely day today! I went to the post office and then I accidentally went to the bead store, where I accidentally spent way more money than I intended. I don’t know how to bead, and I do NOT need another hobby. NO!!! But accidents happen, right? And the owner was kind enough to demonstrate several beading techniques, PLUS I got a free neck and shoulder massage from some customer (she was giving the owner one when I walked in, and then she gave me one, and it was incredible! She worked out the big knots in my shoulders).
\nLater in the afternoon the one and only flame-haired Silvia<\/a> dropped by on her journey from southern California to northern California. And though it is HER birthday in a couple of days, she brought me a gift of tea and tea candies from our beloved Peet’s<\/a>. We walked down to the French bakery\/cafe and feasted on some treats:
\n\"silvia<\/a>
\n(And yes, I ate that entire Napoleon). It was really nice to sit and gab with her. She has done so many interesting things in her life! I got to see all her recent knitting projects, too, which she has safely tucked away in her trunk in a clear plastic container (Peter commented, “Gee, that looks familiar”).
\nOkay, so after I wrote my post yesterday about TV, I thought, “Nobody is going to comment on this.” I guess I was wrong! It seems there are two camps: the TV camp and the non-TV camp. Reading all the comments has led me to the sad realization that I am a TV person, at least at this stage of my life. I will take some of the suggestions, though, and finally try out a book on tape. And re: Netflix. We are members of greencine<\/a>, so we always have DVDs to watch, but we are really bad at watching them. Peter goes to bed a lot earlier than I do, so we can never coordinate movie watching during the week! Oh, and after I wrote complaining about getting channels pulled, I turned on the TV and still had access to CBS. Whoops. I am slightly sad about not having Comedy Central, though, since I JUST discovered the Jon Stewart Show (I know, talk about being late to the game) and now love him (but not as much as Silvia loves him).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
