Quick Catch-Up

Saw a good movie-- The Secret in Their Eyes. Good murder mystery, even though --nah, probably because of the fact that --we know the killer half way through the flick. Argentine; I was surprised how little I needed the subtitles. Won the Oscar this year for best foreign language film. Read a crumby book-- A Reliable Wife. I read it, but don't bother. Believe me. Don't bother. It's a highly unreliable book.

New plant!! Euphorbia tirucalli. It's my new baby. I love this plant. Won it at the raffle at the monthly meeting of the Central Coast Cactus and Succulent Society. Mine was the LAST ticket drawn and I still won the plant I'd had my eyes on from the moment I walked into the room. Yippee!!

All my children have paws, you know. They sent a card and had their dad take me out for breakfast. They got me a cool new octopus-themed apron from Anthropologie. They cuddled with me on the settle at the end of the day to read and enjoy the fireplace.

Haven't cooked anything interesting, but I did have some wonderful Gliddon Point oysters at Pier 46 Saturday. For lunch. That's my idea of lunch. A diet Coke and 6 oysters on the half shell.
