Howdy!

I got home from my shopping trip at about 1:30. My ex came over at 2:30 to help me with my IRA accounts. He's always followed the market and managed his own investments. Not my forte. In fact, I was dismayed to find that I've been charged a $40 quarterly service charge by E-trade for almost 3 years because the account was inactive. I had asked him to look at my stock as an afterthought. I bought some Lowe's stock in 2005 and just let it sit. I've made about $60 a year in dividends, and lost $160 in fees. Great. I'm closing that account out and I've learned a hard lesson.

I cooked a real meal again tonight. Two in a row. I made 'unfried' chicken strips that were very good. I made broccoli with garlic that was not good. It had lots of fresh garlic, olive oil, lemon and red pepper flakes. All you could taste was the red pepper. Too hot. We rounded out the meal with mac and cheese. Emily had a banana instead of the broccoli. It felt like I was in the kitchen for 4 hours again! I'm out of practice. Here's something funny. I told Emily I bought frozen shrimp yesterday and left it in my car overnight by mistake. I told her it was fine because it was so cold out. She said, I'm so tired of shrimp. When are you going to buy some chicken!!? I keep forgetting she's not a vegetarian anymore. I bought the chicken.

Emily and I have almost the same camera and she was showing me the time-lapse video feature. Then she showed me how easy it is to upload through onetruemedia.com. So, I present you with a funny time-lapse run through my house.
