Last night, I came home and tried to rush to plant the rest of the flowers in the bed, get the groceries in, and take care of the shelving unit in back before T was arriving, so that we could have a little date since we have been on go go go. As I was putting away two bottles of champagne for her birthday on Monday, I dropped one and it exploded in the laundry…
Is it the waiting that is the hardest part or the reality? I find this the saddest and most puzzling life events I have ever encountered.
I was passing a neighbor this morning with Loca and she said, “Big night.” And I said, “I can barely watch, I loathe her so much.” Neighbor says, “Yeah, but all she has to do is not fuck up and she could win votes.” Got back to my desk and had an email from a friend: I am SICK of hearing how Biden has to be careful tomorrow because he’s debating “a woman”! I’ve heard…
Happy first day of October! It’s absolutely gorgeous outside but how would I know other than by looking out of my window. I’ve been on go go go mode since getting up and today it has been hard to find those minutes or moments to take a deep breath and zen out. So right now – everyone get up from your desk and move your hips side to side and put a big smile on…
September 30, 2008 Today I am opening to the possibility that all is perfect. My life is perfect, and I am perfect. I welcome every event as divinely ordained, looking for the greater truth.

Last night, I gardened way until after dark. As I was planting the flowers in the front yard, I was babysitting my neighbor’s son, who wasn’t feeling well, and she wanted a run. He goes to a school where they only speak French and he said in the next grade they will begin learning Spanish. I thought HOW COOL. He said his sister didn’t think so, as a matter of fact, she walked down the…
My mother was always going to plant a garden. I heard this statement every place we lived and we lived a lot of place – countries, cities, states, neighborhoods – we were always moving and mom was always going to plant a garden. I bought pentas and some snowwhite euphorbia and red flames to plant in the garden this week. There is not much growing season left. Most plants won’t have time to mature before…
Say no more: “They [Bush, McCain, Republican incumbents] claim to be free market advocates when it’s really an anything-goes mentality: No regulation, no supervision, no discipline. And if you fail, you will have a golden parachute and the taxpayer will bail you out. Those days are over. The party is over,” Pelosi said.
