I went out for a bit
I went out to get lunch. I never actually got anything to eat, because I couldn't decide what I wanted. I guess I wasn't that hungry.
I did go to the liquor store, though, and bought some champers for tomorrow night and a bottle of wine -- a Malbec from Mendoza.
I also went to the Little Rock visitors center.
They have lots of neat brochures, and very helpful staff. Too helpful, maybe. They wanted to know where I was from so I could sign a guest book. I felt kind of stupid saying that I was from Little Rock, so I lied. Is that bad? Maybe. I got a whole bag full of brochures and maps and was off on my merry way.
Just down the street, like a block or so, from the visitors center is Trapnall Hall. It was built in the mid-1800s. It's the Governor's official receiving hall, and can also be rented for parties and receptions. I attended a wedding reception here and it was gorgeous!
Those are my only two photos for the day...so far. I just haven't been in a fabulous mood today. Maybe it's the weather. It's pretty overcast, and a little warm. It's currently 68°F here. Wow. And to think, a week ago we had snow on the ground. It's supposed to be pretty warm the next few days, with a little rain in the forecast, and then next Friday, another chance of snow. What's up with this weather?
I also coloured my hair again today -- a little darker brown than before. My blonde roots were starting to show.

let me know how that malbec is. this was the last one i had that vani brought up. it was very good. quite dry and strong, mahogany color with a mildly raisiney taste.
It's pretty good. Fairly dry, strong. It's a nice aubergine colour. It was too much for Julian. He says that about the only wine he drinks is Comte Valmont. I haven't been able to find any around here, or online that will actually ship to Arkansas.
It was $11, I think. And yes, I'm sure it's much cheaper there. I don't think I want to know.
