Hmm...what did I do yesterday? somehow it seems long ago, maybe I slept really well..

I was gone most of the day. I took Ray to work (well, to the bus and he rode it to work--yay!).

Then I went to the Hampton Inn to sign a contract for a block of rooms. I asked to see one and they are really nice! Yay! There is a pretty good breakfast buffet. I was kind of a little jealous that all my friends and family will be there together and I'll be home...lol.

I went to the credit union and made some deposits so I can pay my bills for the rest of the month until Ray gets paid. I am close to being able to close my bank account and just use the credit union. Yay for me. As treasurer of Kenney Ridge, I hope to move their accounts too.

I went to Cartridge World and got a new ink cartridge for my "antique" laser printer. I am excited that I can still get one.

I went to the library and worked on a very short story about falling in the mud to read at my writing workshop. I worked on my presentation for Saturday too, but it went away--darn that iPad!

I met Becky for a pleasant relaxed lunch at Gnat's Landing--cruncy slaw bowl with grilled fish. They make this great cole slaw without mayonnaise (it does have lots of oil), with raw ramen noodles and sliced almonds for crunch. I love it!

Then I went to the writing workshop. The piece on the pigs did not elicit much response--not sure what that means. It wasn't funny enough or pathetic enough--I need to decide what I'm going for. "Slice-of-life" by itself is not that interesting? In general, it was very enjoyable. I always feel better about myself and my life when I leave. Of course, most of the other people there are dealing with illness and I am not...The teacher, Sara, also has a daughter who's getting married (May 1?). She is a little freaked out about all the work to do...I told her I had a band and she was sad. Her daughter is having a DJ, so only the "kids" will dance. I said a DJ could play other music...the difference is her daughter has strong opinions on everythng. My daughter is generously letting me have a great party, using her wedding as an excuse!

Ray and I stopped at Kroger and got a few things. Paul fed the pigs. We made cauliflower marranca for supper--it takes a little longer than some things I cook, so we didn't eat until 7:30 or so. It was delicious, though. Not something my children like: millet, cauliflower, onions, mushrooms, cheese. Baked together for half an hour. One of the things I love about it is eating birdseed!

Talked to the photographer.

Fell asleep watching TV.
