this is for the s.f. citizen who stops by to read my blog. you know who you are. and...so does your sista' who will no doubt spew diet coke on her computer screen when she hits that link.

blogs are fun.

tell me. would you, if you had a glittery new blog like this one, link a wacky right wing christian from n.y.? only if he asked nicely and promised you a new belt buckle and some skoal? that's what i thought. his blog is :: pray naked ::. that's the only time he gets to say naked. naked...naked...naked. (quote my brother) that makes jesus wear a frown. saying naked, that is.

i'm a wine drinker. when i have a freelance appointment i always stop a this really nice little wine store and treat myself to something special. luckily, the manager there is terrific and has yet to recommend anything that i haven't loved. last night we had a bottle of trinchero meritage that was spectacularly delish. having never had a meritage i was skeptical but, once again, the guy was spot on. get thee to a wine place and buy thee a bottle.

i know three entries in a day is a bit obsessive but this must be posted lest i forget it.
my quote of the day from the zen dude :: see entry at right ::
"you can read about hopscotch for twenty years, but until you actually get out there and scrape yer knees, you aint a fucking hopscotcher."
perfection. we were discussing self-help books. i'm more for the knee scrape. but...that's me.

this one's for the bigguy...my oh-so-handsome hubby...love of my life...and former english professor. winkity, wink!

get your own Vegas stage name!

flip flop philosophy. that's my theme for today...and for life, i think. anyone who knows me well knows that i'm a flip flop kind of gal. all kinds... sparkly, flowery, beady, plain ol' just so. flip flops are for me the rough equivalent of birkies to the thick ankled english professor. they soothe my sole(s). they make me smile. they make me realize that i am much happier unrestrained and foot loose. i think they are perhaps the real personification of me .

damn. in the interest of fairness, i wanted to include a link here to a blog i read written by a woman who abhors flip flops but i can't find it. i think i read it via a link from asparagirl. hmmm. go figure. anyway, flip flop lover or hater...read asparagirl or just be dumb. your choice....choose wisely grasshopper.

so, last night i say to my husband, "there are so many nice people in this world...i don't know why we always focus on the assholes." i didn't think it was that funny but he nearly fell out of his chair. it's true. i had a week full of assholes...you know them, the people who go about wreaking havoc in other people's lives. urgh. it makes me crazy. i am especially yanked off at one particularly nasty passive aggressive. what's up with that? i don't go for the whole "smile and stab" routine.

assholes got you down too? maybe you need a little of this.
