I’m up way early today. I’m going to make a fried egg sandwich and see what’s on TV.
That’s as far as I got with the planning.
UPDATE -10;30 am: Nice day for a drive so I got in the car and drove to gas station. As I was sitting there putting on my makeup, as you do, the strangest thing happened. Every time I passed the puff over my right eyelid, my eye made a noise just like this:
*SQUOINK* *SQUOINK* *SQUOINK*
Every time I touched the lid, it squoinked. No pain, no movement, just a squoink. I can’t stop thinking about it.
UPDATE 2 -12:30 pm: Went to brunch. Brunch! I haven’t been to brunch since Hector was a pup. I had a Bloody Mary and the fritatta al fiorno.
UPDATE 3 -5:00 pm: Question: did Billy Joel die or otherwise make the news? I’ve had the car radio on scan and every single classic rock station is playing his songs today.
UPDATE 4 -6:15 pm: Just made a killing on Old European-esque wine glasses from the Pier 1 clearance section. They’re super funky and heavy and a little bit lopsided and unintentionally fraught with air bubbles. The salesperson was trying to be my friend by making small talk while she wrapped each glass. “Oh, these are the pretty glasses for Girl’s Night. You send the husband and the kids away and these are the glasses that come out. The ladies will really appreciate how beautiful these glasses are.” I didn’t tell her that they were just for me and I was buying four in case I knocked three over I’d still have one left for myself.
- It’s possible that I may have overfilled this one just a bit.
Did I mention that it was green glass? The better to hide the Cheese Nips fingerprints, my dear. Green and thick like an etched soda bottle, but not as uniform. Good for whites, of course not reds. I know – they’re very fey but I have plain and elegant simple clear glasses but sometimes a girl needs a little festivity at her private Girl’s Night party, no?
Anyway, they were marked down to $2.00 each so what the hell.

Don’t forget the pork roll!
I’m much more ambitious. I made a breakfast burrito with egg, grated Mexican cheese and bacon.
Consider the media alerted.
Overfilled? No such thing. It’s interesting how the colors reverse.
Those glasses look like they’d survive a drunken brawl or two as well. Bonus!
Yeah…if I had to guess, I’d definitely say “under~filled.” Really, isn’t the wine supposed to spilleth over? Or something like that.
Love the green goblets. I checked the brunch menu and think the Eggs Benedictino would be my choice. The only place for brunch in my small town is Golden Corral. Nothing like that on the menu there.
“Overfilled”?
You’re just making efficient use of your time, as that reduces the number of trips to the fridge to re-fill…
A poem to celebrate new glassware:
Gorgous goblets for gringo goddess’ grigio gargling. Glug!
