tacos and blankets

 i attended 2 events today, the first was at the roseville library. catered tacos were served, then we worked on blankets for a children's hospital. it meant cutting and tying the edges of them. i had two tacos while there and we were encouraged to take some home as well. so i took two home and had them for the evening meal. i went to the post office early, where i paid on my box for 6 months. there was plenty to pick up, 2 cards, 2 books, 2 CDs. after the event i went to target and got a box of rudolph cereal, the first of likely many more boxes of christmas cereal i am buying. there was seven kinds shown in an 'end cap'. two each for cinnamon toast crunch, as well as 'elf on a shelf'. just before the event i went to a barnes and noble and bought the special magazine about billy joel. two others of interest to me- about loretta lynn, and eminem- are there. but i am pacing myself with how many i get, no more than one per week. after i got home i laid down for a while, and when i woke up it was time to go to aldi for my weekly grocery order. then it was time to get on the road again, to the loft literary center in minneapolis. it was a launch event for the theme of the upcoming year. a speech was made by the new executive director. there was three performers after this, and one of them i didn't enjoy at all. somebody i found to be anti-cop, condescending, and swore too much. the act seemed to remind me too much of what i sometimes see at the comedy clubs. after it was done i picked up a small godfather's pizza from the nearby bobby and steve's and took it home with me on the light rail. it will be eaten the next day. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 84 cents.
