quick bits, in bytes.



a quick post ... too much to do still (weekly cooking! reading!), so maybe just some pictures for now. good news, a few bits: couches acquired this week: THREE!! i also picked up the paint (eco-friendly blend from local store, yay) so that will happen over next sunday ... someone bid $50 for my TV on ebay and wants to pick it up locally ... we'll see if she "wins" ... (but yay, i'm gonna make $$!!) ... i'm getting internet at my apt next saturday! happy valentine's to me. i start tutoring this week ... i gave someone special a book of poetry last night ... i have a new fundraising project for a good cause in the works ... i'm attending an Earthsave Louisville potluck on Vday and attending a taping of one of my favorite singers' (John Gage!) local radio show, Kentucky Homefront.... the author of Eat, Pray, Love is coming to LV and I bought a ticket today to hear her be interviewed (i'll be right there while it's happening) by public radio/have my book signed ... It feels like spring out here. Almost all the ice is gone. ... I've learned how to knit a hat, and soon will start a baby blanket. Things are pretty good.

Enjoy the pictures, and your week. Mine will be a busy one!! (Australian friends ... my thoughts go out to you ... i hope you are okay during this difficult time for your country.)

LOOK what they're capable of ... !!


it's from the 1940's ... used to sit in a men's club here in LV ...
