Force Myself

Hey John…

Yesterday was so busy I never got to really tell you about it.  I had a great talk with Homer.  I was thinking of calling him and low and behold he decides to give me a call before I could get to him first.  He leaves a beautiful heartfelt message which I have saved for you when you return.  We talked about all sorts of things, which is the way with Homer.  He has been so inspired and excited about doing his art out of other peoples stuff and creating joy for them.  I don’t think I could do his words justice.  I did like a quote he had by Marcel Duchamp…

I force myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.

I like that.  Mull that over for a bit.

He also got me hooked on The Daily Show by John Stewart while talking about AIG.  Don’t worry, by the time you read this it will be another investment/banking company that will be in the news.  It is only getting crazier out here…the walls are crumbling.  Anyways…I watched it on the internet and it is a riot.  OMG I cannot believe that we get the true news from a comedy show.  Only in America.

Here are some pictures from the “Long Trail Market”…

Dan the man.  

Those meat hooks I told you about…

After talking with Homer Kathy & I went to get your Prius.  It is all shiny and new looking.  I found this can of “new car scent” in the car.  I don’t know about the cleaning job…it didn’t smell before…the rugs were just dirty.  Hmmm…not sure about this cleaning job if they need to cover up the odor.  None-the-less…Gabe & I will be using this on the stinky Subaru.

Here are the pictures from Fiddler on the Roof.  I loved the musical.  It was fun seeing drama again.

Anne, Kathy, me & Betsy.  Just like the old MMU days of going to see kids in a play.  We had such fun being together.  This is the second week in a row we have gotten together.  It is so easy yet seems to take so long to make it work.  Notice Betsy & I have the same sweaters yet different colors.

Shy Ty…

Elsa and Paul…

Candace and Elsa…

Elsa and Andrew.  He choreographed the whole play and did an amazing job. 

So that was yesterday.  Here is Jessi and the end of my Thursday.  She came by to visit and we went grocery shopping together.  Thank goodness she came to keep me awake and focused at 10:00 at night.  We closed the store down at 11:00.

My day was filled with yoga.  I had my 8am class then my toddler class at 10:00.  Today I had a special event at St. Mikes with the CVU 10th grade.  I was one of a few yoga and meditation classes.  That was a nice way to end their event.  It was fun for me.

From there I got Gabe…stopped in to say hey to Hannah & Dave at Talent…Gabe got a much needed belt…went to the chiropractor…dropped Gabe at Bolton…cleaned and cooked…got Gabe…visited with Jessi.

There.  Can you tell I am tired?  That 1:30 am sleeping time is too late.  Well, it is almost 1:00 right now so I better get to bed.  I am up early tomorrow.

Much love to you John.   love….d
