Josephus Awrightus dropped by tonight, it's not his usual night, but he had the new Wolverine dvd he wanted to show his dad. He knew it would be too violent for me, but figured I'd be doing computer stuff anyway so tonight was an okay night to show it. I actually spent little time on the computer while he was showing it. Since both he and Pink Avenger were here for dinner, thought I'd better cook something. I made a pork chops & scalloped potatoes dish, salad and corn. When I wasn't cooking, I was with PA in my craft room (to be), as she looked through old pictures. She was looking for her 2nd grade class picture. Didn't find it, but found some other interesting stuff. The bylaws for the Masons that had belonged to her grandpa Allen was one thing--copyright 1949. Her dh has a bit of interest in Masons at the moment so she took it home for him to look at. Didn't even know we had it.

Got a new cell phone yesterday. When I got my first one 3 1/2 years ago, through Net 10, I paid $50 for the phone and 300 minutes air time. I spent $50 yesterday for a camera phone and another 300 minutes. Now if I could just figure out how to erase all my typos. I was texting PA and I had to scrap more potential messages than I care to think about because of so many typos. The letters show up a little slower than I'm used to. And some of my phone entries (names--not the numbers) look a little strange, too.

Last Saturday night DC & I went over to Portland to the Coconut Cafe, on Glisan and about 75th or 76th. One of Ardyth's friends from school was playing, and it sounded like fun. We haven't done anything like that in years. Good music, good food. Josh Nielson is the guy's name, his dream is to become a touring musician but he'll probably do something more mundane, like be a journalist, when he's done with school. We bought one of his CD's, too. As for the food, we had chicken empanadas. Yummy! Reminded us of the Pasties we used to buy at Hot Dog Alley up in Kent years ago. I've never had anything that remotely tasted like those in all the years since we moved back here, but this sure comes close.

Ezre has us on a diet-exercise regime. We haven't had any junk food all this week, but we are allowed one day where we can go off the diet. I'll weigh in at Curves next week, we'll see if one week shows any noticeable changes. I hope so, I've been very hungry most of the week. Tortilla chips and salsa aren't too bad for you, and that's what I've been snacking on most. I need the carbs--I can't do a low-carb diet. Exercise is part of the regime, my 3 visits to Curves plus a few walks should be enough. I'll keep you posted!

This "Tell us what you're reading, viewing or listening to" feature hasn't worked in a long time. Just so you know--I'm listening to my Myspace music--good stuff!
