lovely rita meter maid

Today when I took out the compost I discovered someone had dumped a handful of change in the bottom of the bucket. It was all mushed in with the egg shells and rotting fruit skins -- why would someone do that? I don't know but I'm not a proud girl. I picked it all out of the compost heap and washed it off with the garden hose. Almost four bucks. That shit will arm me for parking downtown for weeks.

pound of rocks, pound of sand
broken stones, broken breath

It's so immediate now, isn't it? Have you gotten to the point with someone, where you feel what they're feeling by the words they pick? And it's like a tuning fork, those words make you buzz uncomfortably. Anyway that's how it feels to me sometimes when I know someone so well


Kara you are my hero. If you can handle everything you're handling then I can take care of this one little bureaucratic snafu.

Claro, mi amiga mejor, el mensaje fue para ti.

I made veggie enchiladas tonight. Not bad for a first stab. The real challenge is Perfecting the Sauce. I have to master a good salsa verde. I know what my mother would say, she would say the trick to good enchilada sauce, you soak some pumpkin seeds in salt water a few hours, than roast them, right? Then toss them in the food processor. Then you sift out the shells from the meat and add it in your salsa, and that's going to give you the best kind of flavor. There must be an Easier Way.

OK, guys, we should make a top ten list: Ways we are going to comfort ourselves if Bush wins the election. And, go.

four bucks!!! well worth the effort then :) as i am cleaning my apartment and packing up for san fran, i am finding gobs of change. this leaves me hopeful that when i take it to the change machine at hannaford and pour them all into the machine that it will spit out a LOT of money at me.

and anna dear. you are the one who is spurring me on through all of this. so YOU are the hero. seeing you start fresh all the way down there in texas has given me hope and the courage to DO this. so there.

i love you. will talk to you soon.

*mwah* Kara I am so excited to hear about your new place

Hi Rache! That song is kind of addictive once it's in your head, isn't it? I always get excited to hear it when I'm listening to that record.

Liz McGrew...I still have a picture of you on my wall, you know. I can't wait to see you. We will talk soon.
