Eggs. And Wyoming

Eggs. I went out for lunch, shopped for jeans, had my toenails painted neon buttercup, and forgot to buy Eggs.

Now that I have received a fantastic camera for Christmas, I have this desire to upgrade a bunch of other electronics: Ipod, Airport, Smartphone. This is only interesting because prior to Christmas, I had absolutely no desire for anything new. I forgot I owned two Ipods, an airport express and that my phone's keyboard doesn't work right any more.

There's nothing wrong with my health and yet I never feel good. There's nothing wrong with my relationship, and yet I always wonder if I'm caring for it diligently enough. I know that I rode, and hiked and climbed consistently last year, but I am not exercising enough. I make plenty of money, but there's an unending list of things that need to be paid for.
In the big picture, I am doing really well. But... if you asked me right now "how are you?," I would have a litany of complaints.
This is why, in general, in America, when asked if we're happy - we are consistently not. Yet we live in the most free, richest, most technologically advanced, prettiest, most advanced country we can imagine.
Someone reminded me the other day - by posting Louis CK on my Facebook page - that we have everything we've ever dreamt possible. Our life expectancy is increasing, our wealth is increasing, our access to information and each other keeps on growing. I do wonder why that's not good enough?

Camping tonight. Low of 25 expected. I'll be snuggled in my tent, so I'm looking forward to it. But tomorrow morning could be miserable - since it's not supposted to get above freezing until mid-day.

Bought a groupon to have my pictures scanned. Turns out that the groupon only covers 4x6 pictures, and I have an awful lot of 3x5's. I have to pay $15 extra for those. It's the kind of thing that irritates me about groupons. And I actually tried to read all the fine print.

The stuff I bought that says that it cleans outside windows by being sprayed on and rinsed off. It doesn't work. Any other ideas?

My favorite new dish of 2012 was roasted garlic and coffee marinated beef strips served on home-made caesar salad in a parmesan crisp basket.
My second favorite was leek and mushroom gratin.

Calling Wyoming now. More tomorrow.
