Yesterday was a Making a Life day, not a Making Stuff Day. As a result of all these house fix-up activities, the garage is a disaster area. Close to a chaos meltdown if not a nuclear meltdown. We're talking Out of Control! Getting it cleaned out is one of my major Life Priorities. Saturday, being Earth Day, there was a big recycle program locally for electronic stuff. Got rid of the big old clunky TV, my old studio stereo system, an old clock radio and a busted CD changer--all of which have been replaced by newer, sleeker stuff. I'm oh so grateful the old junk is going where useable component materials will be recycled, but oh so worried about where most of our obsolete electronics end up, with household technology evolving faster than mold on leftovers in the back of my refrigerator. In any event, the garage is one step closer to being cleaned up. Yippee! I did my bit for my earth, my garage, and my sanity.
Our CSA Harvest Share veggies for the week arrived; they're all cleaned and ready to eat. We also got 18 fresh free-range eggs. Using the eggs remaining from last week, I learned how to properly make hard-boiled eggs so the shells just pop right off. It's the Georgia Egg Board method and works like a charm. Randy and I had lunch out at our favorite fish-and-chips place on the Bay. After dinner (big salad with hard boiled eggs; surprise, surprise), we went out for lattes and then to a play. Since Randy (he's my husband) is leaving Wednesday for 2 months teaching at sea on the Golden Bear, I was damned happy to have lots of time with him yesterday. I have such mixed feelings about his being gone so long, but this is an opportunity he absolutely should not miss.
Today's goal is to figure out how to get photos onto this blog. Just when I finally learned to take good slides with my SLR. Dang. -- I think I just did it! This is Spike O. Reilly, The Pissing Cat, in a photo taken about 7 years ago. He's looking fierce, but he really isn't fierce -- he's just starting to yawn. Okay, now I have to learn how to get my photos from the camera into my computer.

Ok, so share the hard-boiled egg tricks. I'm pretty good at it, but sometimes, they don't just "pop" off.
