Bagels, Flea Market, Phones, and Movies!!!

I had such a great day!!! It wasn’t as hot today, so it was actually quite pleasant to be out and about! I started the day with the girls outside playing and enjoying the weather while I did some laundry and balanced my checkbook.

Then, I headed out to do some tooling around town! First, I went to “Bagels and Stuff” next to Cafe Vesuvio for lunch! I had my usual warm corned beef on an onion bagel/roll with macaroni salad and a pickle. I really should try something different cause they have so many great things on the menu, but I just can’t resist my old standby cause there isn’t anywhere else in town I can get it and I do love it so!!! Some day, though, I am going to stop in and have something different!!! Anyway – while I was there, I talked to the owner, Lenny, about the CIS Gala and found out that he had been thinking about it since I stopped in a couple weeks ago and has decided to be one of the restaurants participating in the “Taste of Lee County” — so, we’re adding him to the list!!! The list now includes:

  • Amy’s Confection Company
  • Bagels and Stuff
  • Bella Bistro
  • Cafe 121
  • Chef Paul
  • El Rancho
  • Fresh Choice Cafe
  • Myra’s Kitchen
  • Smith’s Coffee and Bottled Water

If you happen to frequent any of these restaurants, please thank them for their efforts to give back to our community — let them know you read about their participation in this year’s CIS Gala on my blog!

Then, I went to the new Regional Flea Market at the Fair Grounds. It is starting out small with just a few vendors with typical flea market items for sale. I really hope it grows cause I love flea markets!!! I was really tempted by a couple pretty serving bowls I found — I have a real “thing” for serving bowls and tend to buy all kinds of shapes and sizes of them! But, I decided against them — not really sure why — they were pretty and not at all costly!!! I’m suffering from reverse buyer’s remorse — I guess you could call it non-buyer’s remorse! I wish I hadn’t left without them!

After that, I went to the AT&T store to upgrade my phone and cell service! I guess it is time I entered the world of technology — my phone, up until today, was a plain cell phone with no camera and my service didn’t include any internet or text messaging package. It has started not holding a charge well and some other problems, so I decided it was time to replace it and wanted to trade up while I was at it!!! I now have a Pantech Duo phone that will do everything but serve me lunch!!! It has a little keyboard that slides out to make it easier to type and has all the typical PDA features! So now I can check email and access the internet from my phone wherever I am! I never really thought I needed to do all those things, but more and more I wish I could — so now I can!!! I’ll wipe the old one clean and donate it to Haven or somewhere like that.

The next thing I did was go to the movies!!! I went to see “Swing Vote”! I liked it — it wasn’t great, but it was actually quite good! I came home to write my review and got probably half way through a very lengthy review and I don’t know what I did, but suddenly in a split second, the entire blog disappeared and all that was left was the title!!! Then, as quick as that happened, it auto saved, so I couldn’t even go to the draft to get at least part of it!!!! Uuuugggghhhh!!!! So — I was pretty frustrated at that point —- I decided to do this post now and go back and rewrite my review after I get some supper! Watch for it later tonight!

So — I had a very nice, productive, and pleasant day!!! I’m pleased with myself!!! ha-ha-ha Now it is supper time!!!
