there, and here

I'm constantly running across things that I think would be fabulous to blog about, but, as you know, I seldom do.


...My coffee panel project is now going through June 4, so my new last-day-of-work is June 6.

...I miss living downtown.

...I was in Westlake Center this week. I was on the down escalator and this girl with red hair was on the up escalator. We looked at each other and then turned around to have a conversation. She was my server at Lola on Saturday morning. It was so fun to see her. It's like, I finally know people in Seattle when it's time to leave. Weird.

...I love brunch at Lola. There's not much better than their garlic-smashed potatoes!

...Weird is spelled weird and I always spell it wrong. Why is that?

...Friends are getting married, having babies, breaking up, changing careers, remaining in their current careers, etc. I remain: single, unanchored by any specific career, clueless about what I really want to do, poor, etc. I try to be thankful for what I've got.

...For many years, I read [only] romance novels. One day, I was like, "This is so dumb!" and stopped reading them. I didn't read for a while because I couldn't settle on a new genre. I've started reading again. I read a book about travel, a book about cooking, a book about travel, a book about religion, 2 more books about cooking. I still have a bookmark in Pride & Prejudice. I've seen the movie - I know how it turns out. I just can't seem to finish the book. So I'll move on to the next book about cooking and see what happens after that.

...It's time for bed. I've still got stuff to write about, but I'll save it for another post. Good night.

About the books, I have made my way through A Tale of Two Cities twice. It's a big job, but very worth it - I liked it even better the second time. It's like the second best love story. :)
Love, pj
