I was up all night tracking Santa and reading then slept most of the day.
I had oatmeal for breakfast.
Tried to make this great cranberry bread and discovered more cranberries overpower the quick bread. I also almost forgot the soda.
With all those ingredients whole wheat flour is too dense.
Things you learn from experience.

Celebrating
I had a wonderful 9 hr date with Patrick on Fri we laughed our asses off and had a ball; he is so funny.
On Sat. after only 4 hrs sleep I had a dinner date with someone new, Ron, who drove an hr and a half to meet me and we had a great time until 12:30 or so, 6 hrs, when I was practically asleep but laughed so much. Then, on Sunday my sweet Michael came to brunch for an hr or two always lovely to see him. I just need more time with him and he is always so busy and traveling. He had driven up from LA that morning leaving there at 4. Later at 7 Alfredo sweetly came by to fix my patio door and replace the handle that broke off, He works for the co, that makes my windows and doors. He gives me a chance to practice my Spanish, Afterwards, the sweet Ron came back over. Man he is addicting. I can't keep up. Fun to try though.
Had dinner w a new guy Bob, easy name to remember, in his 60's who is from Sacramento but here 4 days a week as a govt, employee for Lockheed. He's called 2x since then I think, the last time from Sac. this am. He's normal.
Then I had a nice dinner on Friday to meet Tom and he is coming back for a birthday lunch.
Tonight my friend John, a Cisco mgr, I've known since John is taking me out to dinner. He is a sweetie in his 60's but young and sexy at heart. He has 2 grown daughters , married at 40 and divorced after 24 yrs. He shares his house w a sub. teacher. He works 12 hr. days being newly promoted at Cisco. They do use u up and drain u. But, pay well. My friend Kim woks there too. John brought champagne and chocolate truffles and some more creme brule ones. Did get a bit lit.
My friend Ricardo finally returned my phone calls and email a 4 xxx am to say he could and would be glad to go with me to celebrate on Wed.
However, I called my friend Caro last night and we are going instead, Citrus @ Hotel Valencia Santana Row Too bad. John and I are going there, to Santana Row too, the fanciest and coolest place in down to an Italian place Tum look our lasagna or ziti and Caesar salad I'm coming.Maggianos,http://www.maggianos.com.
The row is kinda like a European enclave with the fanciest shops, bookstores, Tequila Bar outside seating, a movie house, clothing stores from the gap and banana republic to Prado. I've been wanting to try out for awhile.
It's so much fun sending out cards. I absolutely hate the ones that have have a signature. Mary Helen always does that. I appreciate her remembering my birthday for 55 yrs. but tell me what u all have been up to.
Mickey is returning from SSI where he's been since Oct. It's down to 22 there.
77 here, thank the Lord.I freeze at 50. Any time the heater comes on at 66 it's too darn cold for me.
Give me my the gloves, scarves, Uggs and hat. This weekend was mild and beautiful I did some trimming of the lemon and orange trees and planted a few spider babies.
I am going to cut some sway for that fresh pine smell in the d room table w balls, for the door and maybe for a neighbor or 2.
My back was fine over Thanksgiving, something else to give thanks for now its really bad. I clearly over did it last week. My dr warned me. When it doesn't hurt u forget, but when it hurts u can't think of anything else. I've been popping a lot of hydrocodone and a muscle relaxer flexeril or 2. I get out of bed by rolling and am very careful how I get up.
I use ramps v steps.
Thanks for the bd and xmas checks bro's I'm finally going to see the R. C. Rockettes and to dinner.:-)

Pearl Harbor Day
I'm not used to this. Having invitations to both an early lunch/or to me late breakfast, 11 am and then an early dinner 3 30 is too much to keep up with. It takes up so much time.

Happy Birthday to Karen
Since I've known her since 1968 and celebrate her birthday every year on 12/3 why has it been so difficult to get her card out the door in time. I just need to send it on Thanksgiving weekend.
