Sue called us and asked if we'd like to go to Oxnard, which sounded like fun since we hadn't left the house all day and probably weren't really planning on leaving either. (Oh the joys of being fully stocked in the kitchen... binge food and television)  We were heading up towards the Oxnard house when Sue got a text from Darlene saying the valley house two houses from hers had a "break-in attempt" but the homeowners were home and stopped it. That was it for Sue. She wasn't going to Oxnard with a possible thief lurking around. So Emory and I got in our car and followed her to her house where we ended up watching Man vs Bee until about 9pm.  I offered Sue my taser (which she was the one that gave me it because I played with my old one -zapping air- too much and broke it). She refused, saying she'd be okay.  Well, come to find out, she didn't go to bed until 4am because she heard sounds and kept wandering the house. It's a big house and when we house ...

Sue and I drove to Oxnard. We both had the day off so we went to get Pho which they had great vegan options. We then visited the beach house and picked veggies! So excited because she gave me veggies to bring home. In truth, I ate some of the tomatoes there, but I brought the rest home. We then went to walk on the beach. It was hot and we weren't wearing beach clothes. I expected it to be a little cooler and I did shave so I should have worn shorts. Not that being hairy has stopped me from wearing shorts, but I have been shaving lately. Sort of.  Anyway, all was great until I stepped in tar. I didn't know what it was and it looked like it was moving (which it was because it was sealing to my skin) so I thought I'd stepped on an urchin. I freaked out until I realized it didn't hurt, plus Sue was very calm. She said, "Let me take a look." I raised my foot for her to inspect and she said, "You stepped in tar."  Got Tar on my Foot So she suggest I walk t...

There was a vegan meetup though I didn't actually meet anyone from the club. I took Sue and Emory with me to the AGWC Rockin Rescue. They gave us treats that we could give the cats. This is Bobby and he likes catnip and the little hard treats inside the cup. It was fun feeding him.  There were about 5 rooms that you can go into and play with the cats. We spent the most time in the room with cats that were under the age of 1 year, but to be honest, if I was going to adopt a cat, I'd want an older one. There were some super chill cats and then there were a few that didn't like the presence of so many strangers.  We ran up to Bath and Body Works for their 75% off sale. I found 11 lotions and body gels for gifts. They are usually $13.50 per bottle, but I got them for $3.75 (ish) per bottle. So basically paid about $7.90 per gift if I bunch them into twos. That leaves room to buy a few more things per person. I love sale items because you can buy extra for people. Emory didn...

Watching:  Youtube Eating: Veggie Skewer Reading: The Enchanted Chocolate Pot by Patricia C Wrede and Caroline Stevermer Ann from the Glendale Commune came out and helped us organize. I guess when you're from a commune, you get really good at organizing because you have such a large amount of things from everyone living there. She has four crockpots but they use them. I only have one so far. Anyways, she helped us organize our kitchen because we have so much plastic that we recycle and reuse to put our lunches in.  Friday, we went to this little wine store that had a bar downstairs. It felt like a Speak Easy going down the narrow steps. I got wine and Emory got beer and we chatted a little bit, waiting for the free comedy show. At 8:30 we took our seats in the room that the show took place and had ourselves a pretty good laugh. My favorite comedian in the lineup was Saul Trujillo.  I've found a few other comedian shows that only charge $5 to $10. That's a pretty cheap dat...

We had a three day weekend so we loaded up the car and drove to Arizona. I had people to see, including Jeffery who got some terrible medical news. He is in good spirits though, when we see him.  We stayed at Ann's commune. She was very disappointed to find out that I gave up shaving and sent me straight to the shower to do so. I guess I'm a proper lady now. Anyone want to contribute to a laser hair removal fund? No? I didn't think so.  John came over and brought two bottles of red from his stock. It was so good. We stayed up and chatted and drank both bottles. We watched Steven eat super hot Thai food which none of us had any interest in sharing. He says he can't taste "hot" but his eyes still water and his nose runs so he knows it's hot, he just doesn't have the ability to taste it on his tongue. He's a fun guy. We visited the Scottsdale commune. They are heavily into pickled things right now, which Emory had no problem trying. I don't like ...
