Thanks, it's going OK. I'm at home "working." AKA napping, cleaning, running errands, and eating. What's up over there?
Am I overreacting to this boss-condom thing? Everyone I tell it to thinks it's just funny and not really inappropriate. Tell me I'm not the only person who still feels it's important to respect social mores.
It is funny, though, truly.

I'm so happy we're both having such beautiful days!
Let me know what you find out about the raw goat dairy. I tried raw cheese, but I think it was cow, and it wasn't too kind to me.
My rate is usually $25/hour, but since we are friends and I really don't think editing your work will feel like a chore, I'd make it $15. :)

Burdock is some kind of root that is supposed to have tons of healing properties. Sounds good!
I'm eating fruit that I like now. I have decided to quit apples, hothouse tomatoes, and citrus for good. Makes this whole thing much easier.
I would LOVE to do a hard edit on your book. LOVE LOVE LOVE! I am so excited! WHOOHOO!!!
It's another hot one up in here. Fruit does help to keep me cool.
What's up out in Colorado today?

they are doing good, my lips are starting to get used to the clarinet, but my throat muscles are starting to lift into my cheeks, a common thing in woodwind players, it's like when you see dizzy gilespie play the trumpet and his cheeks get huge like a blowfish, it's not cause of air, you have to keep the air very focused and straight. the cheeks blow up cause it's actually those throat muscles lifting into the mouth. it doesn't happen to me on the flute, cause there is no reed and no resistance stopping me from blowing all the air out of my lungs, it takes alot more air to play the flute, cause there is no resistance, it takes as much air to play the flute as it does to play the tuba . so now when i play the clarinet, i can hold the notes way longer, i can't believe it sometimes when i play cause my inner timer tells me i need to breathe, but i still have air in my lungs, only bad thing is that throat thing. only cause i'm not used to it yet, and haven't played as many long tones to stretch out those muscles as i should. but after playing for 30 mintues my throat starts to lift, but only on the right side, so this gust of air fills my right cheek and i squeal the clarinet, and i try to keep in steady, but i can't. so i rest and eat my kale salad to recover quickly to play again. wow i'm rambling again, i gotta get in the shower, how have you been?
thanks for the flower, but i'm afraid i can't accept, not because i don't want to, but because everytime i accept one of those gifts i wind up sending my entire friends list the wrong thing, between the joint fiasco, challenging everyone to a pillow fight, all my mafia wars activity, my family knows i''m crazy, but now they are getting worried and i think my dad's church in miami is gonna have an intervention for me next time i go back
Whoops, I didn't even see your comment! My birthday was totally fun. It was amazing weather here, like in the 70s and sunny. We karaoked our little hearts out. How was your weekend? The book sounds intriguing but I think it taps into my (now not so) secret fear of no one crying when I die. Mwaahhh! (that was a smacky blown kiss).
Oooh, I just ordered Burdock and some Artichoke also from mountainroseherbs.com as I'm working on my liver. I really liked your post today. Gosh you're an upbeat lady! (Yes, that is from Groundhog day).
I never flew kites much. Our backyard was filled with trees, and my parents couldn't be bothered to take us somewhere that wasn't.
Congrats on getting writing done! Again, I can't wait to read said novel.
I'm going to eat a pound of grapes in the park over lunch today.

If honey mustard was your favorite (as it was mine), then you must must must must get this flax oil. I promise you'll love it. Highly recommended. 4 stars. Better than Gremlins, better than E.T.
Remember I told you about the sweet mustard flax oil I found at a store? This is it. And I tried it last night. Holy mother of god, it's amazing!!!!!!!! You must get it. You must! Think kale chips with a honey mustard flavor. It was amazing. Where has this been all my raw life?
So there I was earlier today, reading my free copy of The Onion newspaper while riding the subway, and I came to the book review section. What book was being reviewed this week? If you guessed Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, give yourself a piece of kale that looks like a fat cigar. If that isn't synchronicity, I don't know what is.
From the author's interview in Entertainment Weekly. As you can tell, I'm obsessed with this:
We arrived at Pride and Prejudice and Zombies because, when you take a look at the original book, it's almost as if, subconsciously, Jane Austen is laying out the perfect groundwork for an ultraviolent bone-crushing zombie massacre to take place. For instance, there's a regiment of soldiers camped out near the Bennett household. In the book, they're just there for characters to flirt with. But it's not that big a leap to say, Okay, they're there because the countryside has been overrun with what they call the "unmentionable menace."
EW: The what, now?
"The unmentionable menace." They call zombies "unmentionables" because it's a very polite society and the word "zombie" is kind of like a curse word. These aristocrats are trying to get on with their lives as best they can, despite the fact that the country is being devoured around them. They still have their balls and their teas and their manners. It was terrific fun to write, in the style of Jane Austen, describing horrific deaths and entire villages being slaughtered and burned to the ground.
that's what I meant and I am fully aware that it sounds crazy but when you hear all of the evidence especially the DNA evidence then they say they can prove everyone is from one original eve. Also that the name Adam means worker in Hebrew- and tha...
Thanks for posting! I went to the dentist today and was absolutely delighted when I heard the dentist comment to the hygenist, "she has beautiful teeth, doesn't she?"
WOW! Coooool! Haha, all thanks to raw food!!!

I am enjoying being done with school, because I can spend full days with my little Maia. How are you today?

Whether that particular flavor is there or not is anyone's guess. I hadn't noticed it prior to this weekend.
And I'm glad I got you excited over zombies. Makes me feel good to slowly mold people into my image. Playing god is fun.
