R.I.P. Little Blog
You were fun while you lasted. Evidently, I have moved on. I didn't plan this - it just sort of happened. And I'm not even sure if I "went" anywhere. I sort of lurk on FB. I have a page that I look at every week or so, but rarely post to. I just never really warmed up to Facebook - plus I think it is mostly a giant personal data-gathering machine that also tries to get you to play games that collect even more personal data for unspecified uses. I am on Twitter but that doesn't seem like fit for me either. So I don't know where I am (and quit thinking 'so what's new about that?')! But I do miss having nobody to point out to me whether or not I closed that last parentheses in the right place. Where's a swami to go?

2011 First List
1. Starting with a list so I can be all organized this year.
2. New Year's Resolution Lite: Do not ask Mr Swami to pick up KFC on his way home from work. He will screw it up. He has an irrational theory that fried chicken is fried chicken, so he wil pick up some chicken carp from a random grocery store or convenience store instead. It's not the same! Usually it is barely edible.
3. Holiday decorations are down & boxed. I miss them already, especially my angelic host.
4. The outside lights stay lit until the end of February because they make me happy on snowy, dark, colorless nights. Lots of Minnesotans light up the night well into February.
5. I am reorganizing my kitchen cupboards not because I am on a cleaning/organizing kick (perish the thought!) but because I want to move my big box of lock-tight plastic containers to a lower level and that sets up a major musical-chairs kitchen cupboard event.
6. Dark-eyed Juncos love me.
7. Before I could write this blog post I had to spend $68 on Amazon. And $66 at Petco online because they had a free shipping if you spend $60 event. Blogging is expensive!
8. I love my new Fry Baby deep fryer. So far I have made shrimp toast, wonton and more wonton. I like wonton.
9. Yesterday Mr Swami had an evening meeting and I was stuck in the house alone all day. Too cold to just go outside. Too broke to go random shopping. So I finished my newest Jeffry Deaver book - then I remembered that I got a whole little box of Frango chocolate mints for Xmas!!! So I ate chocolate for about an hour, lol.
10. If my gray cat continues to exhibit Winter Shut-in Madness Syndrome I am going to put her in a bucket and spin her overhead for a while. She finds this strangely soothing. I want somebody to do this to/for me but I don't have a bucket big enough.
