I’m curious about what people would do if they had the opportunity to go off and learn things … so if you had the time and money to go and learn anything you wanted - anything - a skill, craft, profession - absolutely anything … what and why?
I answered at first in the reply by accident.
Organic vegetable farming, including season extension; a bunch of intensive writing...

Me: I need to schedule my mammogram.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking So that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine, as children do.

"The Bridge" By Edwin Friedman
tj:
There was a man who had given much thought to what he wanted from life. He had experienced many moods and trials. He had experimented with different ways of living, and he had had his share of both success and failure. At last, he began to see clearly where he wanted to go.
Diligently, he searched for the right opportunity. Sometimes he came close, only to be pushed away. Often he applied...

I apologize
to everyone at Dan’s birthday party for all the wine I drank.
still hanging out on Google +

join the video chat.
No really. Lots of digestion issues talk and chocolate cake and Dan’s balls. What more could you ask for?

as I entered I overheard: so I explained c-word to him.

So I registered
for Toni’s awesome thing.
I was a little freaked by the cost because I come from a family of people who really just want to pay for gas and maybe a little bit of food when they travel. Fees and hotel and food too? For just me and without my family? What am I a Rockefeller?
But I kept playing over the way for the past five years I’ve been circling around a bunch of ideas, inching...

That thing
where you make a Moscow Mule, but use ginger kombucha instead of ginger beer and the bottle erupts all over the counter because you let it ferment a day too long, and you know you’ll regret not wiping it up when it’s a shiny, sticky-dry patch in the morning, and then the last sip smells a little too much like musty balls, which causes giggle fits, especially as you slurp down the dregs...

WatchThe stranger in this news video lives two doors down from the house I grew up in. He dated my best friend in the late 70s/early 80s. We used to have make-out contests together with my boyfriend out in the alfalfa field. Who can kiss the longest without ruining a shirt with saliva. We won. M was a drooler.
In later years he asked all of the women in my family out, my mom included, during one of...

I’ve been up since 5:30, which is just not right on a Sunday morning. I woke in pain when I rolled onto my right side, and knew immediately that the two small pinches of calzone stuffing I snuck from Chris’ dinner last night have given me another digestive flare up. It was two thin slices of tiny meatball, a mushroom, an onion bit, and a little bit of mozzarella cheese – all told...
O and I forgot to mention
I don’t have any ginger beer in the house, so I used my homemade ginger kombucha instead, which is really a wonderfully subversive thing to do with kombucha if you ask me.

Moscow Mule
It’s been a day. A day filled with bickering and sniping and sneezing due to the massive dust cloud we stirred up cleaning Lila’s room. The room is still a shambles, but we can at least see 3/4 of the floor now. She’s playing at the neighbor’s now, and I made myself a Moscow Mule to sip while I cleaned the kitchen. Only problem is it tasted so good I forgot it had a couple...
Fundraising question
We’re doing a huge mural project at the farmers market, and have half the funding we need, but have to raise another $5K by the middle of March in order to get it done. I don’t have snail mail addresses for anybody on my list, but have close to 1000 people on an email list.
I’ve never done this kind of thing before, and I feel like I’m in way over my head. If you have...
I leave work early in the afternoon so I can make a quick trip to the grocery store before picking up Lila from her after school care at Molly’s. I want to make the raw zucchini noodles with puttanesca sauce, but am out of capers and kalamata olives, and we need half and half for the morning, and I might as well pick up a few other things in case we do get the higher numbers in the forecast...

Exhausted. Happily, so
in spite of the fact that the day started off with Chris and Lila’s discovery that the chicken tractor was breached in the night and three of the six hens were dead and the other three injured. Effing raccoons are such wasteful bastards. Perfectly delicious chicken and all they do is tear the throats out and leave them to die. Raccoons are the Early Grayce of the four-footed world. Fuckers.
