Today: Come up with you own Book page idea!
Thrift Store Day
Take $10 to your nearest thrift store (Salvation Army, Goodwill, ARC) and buy an ugly new-to-you outfit and wear it around for the rest of the day. Try to look as purposefully mismatched and eccentric as possible; be sure to accessorize with a hat, scarf, belt, or handbag. Embrace your new-but-used clothing trend!

Stick a Message on a Fruit
I placed a sticker on a little apple in the fridge at work, “Be gentle with me.”

Join a Political Party
In honor of Voting Day, I chose to register as an Independent. This means that I rescinded my membership to the Democratic party and chose to go rogue. I took a politics test that lined me up with Gandhi and said I was more of a liberal and more of a libertarian… Meaning that I’m liberal when it comes to social issues and conservative when it comes to big government. Since I still haven’t found a party that I can fully stand behind, then I choose the “Don’t Give a Damn Party.”

Share Someone Else’s Pain
So, my dear roomy, Nancy, was having a crumby day. I hate seeing others in bad moods, and I have even more trouble being around them… So, I set out to fix her. Yes, that’s right, she was broken. But it wasn’t anything that wine, cheese, crackers, sweets and a video couldn’t cure. So, I went to the store and picked up a bunch of different wines, cheeses, breads, crackers, spinach dip, a rotisserie chicken, fruit tarts for dessert, and rented The Karate Kid remake. We happily wallowed in munchies and nostalgia while sitting around in our pajamas and drinking wine. So, whilst I didn’t quite share her pain, I did however help fix her mood. :0)

Day Off
Friday, Nancy and I had Qdoba for dinner, then went to see Heather’s art show during First Friday in the Santa Fe Art District. Then we met Jason at the Celtic downtown for drinks and dessert. It was a lovely way to spend a Friday night.

No TV Weekend
Well, I don’t watch much television to begin with, but this weekend I did watch two movies. However, I don’t count watching movies as watching TV if they are on DVD.
So, Saturday I kinda missed class… And instead did a little thrift and dollar store shopping (I curb my shopping urge by only shopping cheap). Then Jason picked me up and we went to his parents’ house for dinner. The whole famdamnly was there: brothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, nieces, grandparents, uncles, etc. His parents cooked a wonderful vegetarian meal, after which we all sat around and just chatted. They did some family photos that I was included in… That was sweet but a little odd. :0) Then, before Jason and I fell asleep on the couch, we headed over to the Robusto Room for drinks and were planning on seeing a movie. Instead, we got a call from Jason’s dad asking if we could take his cousin and girlfriend downtown for the night. This wouldn’t have been an issue, except that they were both vegetarian and didn’t drink alcohol. Um… We’re in Denver
Anywho, Jason stayed the night, and it was lovely waking up next to him, and even lovelier remembering that it was Daylight Savings and we had an extra hour. He went home and I slept until 11 or so, then I took a shower, grabbed coffee and a bagel, and headed to the office. Why the office on a Sunday? Well, I needed to create a rough draft of a technical manual for my Technical Writing class. I chose to do mine on the bulk mail programs I use at work. So, I spent 6 hours on Sunday afternoon in the office, all alone, typing a manual. Woo-hoo! Then I met up Jason and his roommate, Cindy, for dinner at Rib City

Count Your Farts
I think this is hilarious! I made sure to eat chili yesterday and today for lunch in preparation for this assignment! Pretty sexy, huh? I think I reached about a grand total of 55 farts by the time I went to bed... Good thing I went to bed by myself. ;0)
