This Lemonade Was a Real Bargain

Here I am again, typing away like a monkey. I had a chance to converse with my lady through an instant messenger program. This was a welcome relief, but my attempts to call her have met with failure (busy signal, fooey). She's dealing with a crapload of problems, both environmental and biological, so I wish her strength and endurance.

Aside from the convo with my African princess, I spent today performing various chores. Among these included picking up some food. This food was slightly healthier than my usual fare, including whole wheat bread and bananas. The bananas were the closest thing to dessert I bought, as well, so kudos to me for avoiding the ever-tempting oatmeal-raisin cookies. How I wish I was eating one now... Yum. I also entered a contest for a free movie-and-dinner thing on Valentine's Day. If I win, I'm taking my stuffed penguin (mentioned previously) on a night on the town and sending the pictures to Tanzania. Finally, I returned the third season of "24" to my local Blockbuster (which is actually a lengthy bus ride away).
