Out of my loneliness stupor of last night…. (I mean, wouldn’t it be great if loneliness motivated oneself to pursue community? usually for me loneliness paralyzes me in depression, but anyway)…

Had a great evening out with Caryn and Michael exploring the downtown Waco “scene.” It’s a bit quiet right now since Spring Break extends through this weekend, but with the recent win-streak of the Baylor Men’s Basketball (Big12 Championship Game tomorrow, huh?!!) there were a few people out and about. We had dinner at one restaurant, dessert and drinks at the “fine-dining” establishment called The Green Room and then after dessert headed to Austin’s on the Avenue, which is a newer place in town that is trying to be an upscale college bar, from what I can tell.

I’ve decided that Waco is not the place to try to get a good cocktail… and I’ll stick with beer when I’m out here I think. Too many disappointments…

Anyway, we had a great time, I was reminded of what great community and friends I really do have here in Texas and we even got to meet the “Miller Lite Girls.” They gave us some scratch off tickets to win a trip to Vegas so I dutifully scratched off my ticket and texted the code to the given number. Caryn caught me in action and honestly… I’m not as excited about this as the picture might suggest.

So, I’m home now and thinking about what I need to accomplish over the coming weekend:

1. Get rvthereyet.org back online and ready for my mother to update and use.
2. Vacuum and clean the house.
3. Read (finish The Shank er… The Shack and start New Moon).
4. Watch Big Love, Season 3 on HBO On Demand at Caryn’s House
5. Box up and send birthday gift to Tammy (oops!)
6. Send baby gifts to Sonny, Ashley and bambino.
7. Relax.

I think it’s a reasonable list.

I also want to bake some bread…. hopefully something appropriate for sandwiches - I have some ideas.
