Gone with the wind. It's the best title I can come up with, but it only describes part of the day. I'll try to condense it. I got to Panera's early so I could have some blogging time before Bonnie arrived. My computer let me down. All it did was act crazy and I never did get online. I wished my book out of the car to help pass the time, but it didn't cooperate. Bonnie arrived, and we settled in for a long visit. We'd been there for at least an hour, when someone came up to the table from behind and said hello. At first sight, I thought it must be a friend of Bonnie's, then I realized it was Happyone. What a fabulous surprise! It turns out she had read my blog this morning, thought she knew which Panera's Bonnie and I would be at, and jumped in her Corvette to find us. It was a perfect first meeting! We have so much in common, and could have spent hours together. Karen stayed for a while, then drove her fancy car past the window so we could check it out. Bonnie and I both agreed we would have been nervous if we had made plans to meet Karen, but with her surprise visit, we never had the chance. It would have been a wasted worry, as most worries are. Bonnie and I stayed for lunch, then went our separate ways. I made a quick stop at the grocery store, and as I was driving away, I reached into my purse for my cellphone. Here's where I make the story short. The cell phone is gone. Missing. Vamoosed. I had it in Panera's. AT&T shows the only use of the phone all day was the phone call I got in the morning. I retraced my steps to no avail. I found that I was really attached to my phone. I tried to tell myself that it was only a 'thing'. I pouted and sulked. Then I went to AT&T and got a new SIM card to put in Emily's old phone, and that's what I'll use for now. Did I mention my old phone was fancy? So much for fancy. So much for all the phone numbers that I don't have anymore. Oh well. I'm over it; that's the good news. I sent out a mass e-mail asking for phone numbers, and I'll build it back up.

Watching Idol while finishing writing. I've decided not to watch LOST tonight so I can view it in high def tomorrow on Emily's computer. I'll spend the rest of the night in bed reading.

They're calling for nasty weather starting in about 2 hours. Snow then ice. Tomorrow should be interesting. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

PS...I've been known to send a card or two in the mail. Drop me a line with your address (and birthday) if you feel comfortable doing that. You know I'm no stalker!
