In the interest of fairness – hm, wait, I don’t think I’m actually interested in fairness – well, I guess I’m interested in the appearance of fairness… Took today off as the first day in a four-day weekend to celebrate my birthday; woke up to a spur-of-the-moment invitation to brunch from a friend, who proceded to entertain me mightily with tales of his hijinks (and who also gave me a very gentle but very much needed pep talk about the need to get off my ass about the changes I need to make in my life); went and ran a couple of errands, including buying gas, which could have waited till tomorrow, but what the heck, I was out – got to the station as they were in the process of raising the price 12 cents a gallon, but filled up at the old price; came home and went to throw a couple of empty soda cans from the car into my neighbor’s recycling bucket, which was still by the curb because somehow they skipped the pickup on this block three days ago – and in said bucket found a whole bunch of glass vases she was throwing out, some of which were ugly but two of which were well worth trash-picking (I have a ridiculous collection of glass vases). And now I’m sitting here with my cat purring on my lap and nothing in particular to do till my friend comes to pick me up and take me out to dinner and to see “Stomp” for my birthday. Plus the sun is out. Yanno, it’s really hard holding on to an evil mood under these circumstances… 😃 ---

Hey, **Twickster**! Glad that you’ve ceased beating yourself up. We’ve met a couple o’ times, and I think you are wonderful! And if I weren’t married… Gauchos, forever! ---

**brownie55** – that’s extremely cool – good luck with it. If you need someone to talk to, my email address is in my profile. **TwoTrouts** – **smooch** – thanks! Sorry you missed Dope the Halls – but **FairyChatMom** and I are talking about trying to come up with a good excursion for this winter – I hope you and the lovely Mrs. Trouts (who’s way too nice for me to consider a rival, dammit) will be able to make that. **AskNott** – heh. And Elvis says :dubious: . 😉 ---
