Have my rolling suitcase packed with aprons, paints, brushes.

I am off for an afternoon of face painting for the ObamaFEST here in Tucson. I will take my two signs showing what I am willing to face paint. I am also taking bubbles to blow. I tell a child who fidgets most in line to please help me.I say, " I am stressed and the only thing that makes me feel better is to have bubbles floating in the air around me." They blow them and I truly do feel happier and less stressed. Symbiotic relationship. I also take bubbles to bank lines, etc. to help myself out... Sign in to see full entry.

Saturday is the ObamaFEST at Armory Park here in Tucson.

I will paint faces and am sticking to only 8 designs....to stop the madness of little kiddies' choices. Can you put Harry Potter on a stick, flying and his friend next to him? Can you put Ariel under the ocean with lots of fishies? I want a princess with a crown and a sceptre and bows and pearls and and and..... I will do various Obamas, a Democrat donkey, a flag, an Obama logo, a peace dove flying, a yin yan Obama thingie and that's about it....I'm only taking red, white and blue paints to keep...

New Chicano neighbors with four dogs, good.

Guesthouse still empty, eight houses next door running back down a little road next to my house are all empty. Bummer. Crashed mid construction renovation. Boarded up now. I went to the doctor's office and she agreed to do some kidney testing and blood testing and has ordered a referral to a kidney specialist for me. Finally, two years later. Then, I had breakfast with my good friend, an inattentive woman who drives me mad...dearly loved by me, anyway. Where shall we meet? She said Mingus. What?... Sign in to see full entry.

Senator Bernie Sanders Economic Plan

Here is my economic plan. It has exactly one part and it goes like this; 1. Remove the current tax breaks for Big Oil and Big Coal and transfer them to renewable energy like wind and solar. This would create incentives for domestic companies and would provide tens or even hundreds of thousands of new jobs in America. At the same time, we would stem the flow of the current $2 billion per DAY that we ship overseas for foreign oil. Imagine if we spent $2 billion a day INSIDE our own borders?...

Letter from my sister about her Republican Lobbyist friend in Alaska

Her email said and I quote, "I have a client who is a lobbyist in ALASKA... When I asked him what he thought (this is the guy who I told you had a picture of THE BUSHES IN HIS HOUSE!! SIGNED BY THEM thanking him and his wife for their support of the Republican party in Alaska!!) he said that it was a SHOCK TO EVERYONE up there..and that they all felt that she IS NOT READY AT ALL FOR THIS POSITION...Not the right choice at all for McCain...So that I did hear first hand from a REPUBLICAN LOBBYIST...

Somedays I just feel old. Today is one of those days, How about you?

The humidity makes my fingers freeze into the left button mouse click position and then I can't unfreeze them to type until I hold them for a minute or two in the curled over position again. This happens mostly in Adobe photoshop where repetitive motion gets to me. I click away ten thousand little pixels in the 1000% magnification and then Frozen Fingers Syndrome. The ears ring from too many aspirins, the tummy hurts from too many food allergies now, the headaches for God knows what reasons, the... Sign in to see full entry.

I want Greenfield's cook in my kitchen...

I just read her blog post about asking for certain foods to be made all day while she played with her phone and computer and I WAS JEALOUS. I remember when our family had cooks, sigh. You never miss the good life til the yucky one substitutes itself into its place. But my cook would have to sit around and play with her cell phone and my computer as I would have little for her to cook. I cannot find what to eat that doesn't beat me up. Maybe that is why I like to read about other's fun with food.... Sign in to see full entry.
