but it's spelled doughnuts! not donuts!

Happy Birthday, ly!

This morning's walk was pleasant... stopped at the grove and got some OJ for the return trip home. I'll miss Mack's being so nearby... I'd wager that there's some little mom & pop place where I can get juice or a bagel in the morning within walking distance of my next place... there always is.

I should know tonight if the place by my brother's is mine. Odds are really good that I'll get it... I'd say... 80% or greater?

They're taking out the carpet, and tiling it... I think it's just a question of lighting a fire under 'em to get it done in time for me to move in.

I woke craving those little chocolate-covered doughnuts... I haven't had 'em in years, but something set that off....I suspect that I'll have to buy a little roll of them the next time I pass a gas station or a 7-11... or at least a real doughnut somewhere else. Maybe even the gigantic Entenmann's version... but if I do that, I'll need milk too.

Announcer: He got it! Belushi's won the gold, now he's going for the world's record!

John Belushi: [ seated at breakfast table smoking a cigarette ] I logged a lot of miles training for that day. And I downed a lot of doughnuts. Little Chocolate Donuts. They taste good, and they've got the sugar I need to get me going in the morning. That's why Little Chocolate Donuts have been on my training table since I was a kid.

Announcer: Little Chocolate Donuts. The donuts of champions.

Speaking of weird food, a year ago today, my sweetheart was eating atomic fireballs. Time to send her some more.

I wonder what it'll be like, leaving this neighborhood.... no more mall of the dead, no more strip mall of sin... no more pompano beach cemetery, where the wife from "Good Times" is buried.

The new region will have other footpaths to explore... it's as near to the beach, and is close to the art theatre and archives bookstore. I'm looking forward to breaking new ground and discovering that domain....and that it'll be discovered in the summer, when human traffic is minimal. The natives seem to get along better when there's less rush or stress.... makes sense to me.

I'm pretty excited... at the point now where I want to do the move and be in the new place. I hope Newt likes his new environs...he's pretty adapatable, moved once already, and travels well.

Moving is a pain in the butt, but starting over in a new place almost gives you a new lease on life. I've just recently moved and I love my new place...I feel ten times better now that I'm out of a situation that was causing me much anxiety and stress. I'm sure you will, too and Newt will sense that and settle right in.

Otherwise, I've found that an extra catnip toy tends to make up for the trauma of being uprooted. :)

thanks, and I agree completely with what you're saying.

I think as long as I let newt keep a few of the moving boxes, he'll be in hog heaven!

Oh most definitely...he can use them to make a fort while you're at work. :)

There was a time when all I ever wanted for breakfast was little donuts (chocolate or powdered) and orange juice. One day, I just got tired of them. Funny.

hmm... what do you like for breakfast now?

[rejectomorph]

Fresh oranges, usually followed by melon. (Casaba, in season, which is almost here!)
