1. I have removed stuffed olives (some call them "Spanish Olives," but mine come from California) from my Martini recipe. They take up too much room in the glass.
2. My painting is going to get much "looser." I am not happy with painting detail when a photograph does a much better job of that.
3. At least one day each week I make it a point to not shower or change clothes. That is usually on a day where I do not intend to go out anywhere. But I always brush my teeth twice a day and use Listerine, just in case I get to talk to the dolly mail carrier.
4. I leave the pet carrier case on the floor with the gate open so the cats can feel comfortable with it. Quincy sleeps in it now, and several other cats have napped there. It will make it easier when they need a trip to the vet.
5. I cut my meat intake to four days a week now, not for health reasons but because of prices. Rib Eye steak at twelve bucks a pound? Are you kidding me? Eye of Round roast at Seven?
6. I will not mention (out loud or in my head) the Martin-Zimmerman fiasco again. It only turns friends into enemies. I am a flaming liberal and nothing, nothing, will ever change that.
7. I won't ever repeat what I did Friday night after this. It was way too much conversation over a bottle of damn good single malt Scotch. I cannot remember the drive home, but the car was out back in the morning and I had made the coffee for morning, so I must have got home without putting up bail money.
