Rainy spring day

I realized at the Starbucks this morning, that I like my tea the way some people like vermouth in their martini - just wave the teabag at the hot water; just hint to the water that there's tea in the vicinity, and that's about enough for me.  The time it takes me to walk from the counter to the milk&sugar bar is long enough for that teabag to be in there.  If it's crowded in Starbucks, that can even be too long.

Having that great revelation was not the only thing I did today, though.  I also got my hair cut, spent too much money at the mall, resisted spending even more ("You do not need a $230 nine inch copper frying pan.  God HimHerItself does not need a frying pan that expensive.  Step away from the Williams-Sonoma."), did not buy a hoe (not due to expense, due to laziness), went to Subway, and came home.  Now I am roasting beets for another borscht, in anticipation of my Dental Adventure on Tuesday, after which I will only want soup I am sure.  I will also clean the house and take a nice hot shower, and maybe watch some tv.  A full day!  I've also made tea.

Does anyone read this lj anymore?  Now that most of my friends are on facebook, I assumed not, which was fine when fb would import my lj entries and put them on my feed, so people would know they were there.  I have to say, the most annoying thing about the fb redesign, is that new things don't come to me anymore, via the feed.  I only have 25 friends (I know y'all are shocked I have any at all), and I am just not going to check all their walls all the time to see if they've posted anything new which didn't get picked up on the feed.  Grr.  I have heard that fb is actually bowing to pressure, and going back (at least in part) to the old scheme; I saw my Invites moving around all over the page just the other day, so that may be true, and it seems like people's photos are back on the feed.  Dunno if this will make it; though - guess I will try and write a note and say that there's a lj post, and see if that note at least gets picked up.

Ah, self-promotion.  Such a burden.

I am still reading here but I am spending more time on Twitter and Facebook these days. Mainly because I am too lazy to write long entries.

I will likely keep posting here, just because I prefer the format. And I guess I'll just put up little notes to let people on fb know there's a post. Until they start processing them correctly again.

Sounds like a plan :)
