California Heat Wave, Fancy Dinner and Writing

 There is a heat wave coming through. It's going to be as hot out here as it usually is in Arizona. I'm not excited by that.  I went to eat at Lemon Zest with Darlene and Mr. M. It was so fun. I told them I would walk because it's not far from my place, but as I was walking, they must have seen me because they swung by and picked me up. I wore a pretty dress not thinking I'd be sweating in it. The fabric was wet with my sweat. It was 97 degrees. Still not as bad as Arizona heat though. Rose and Matt got a dog!! It's so beautiful. They invited me over to play with it so I'm thinking I need to get a box of treats to bring to the puppy. It's only six months old and they are naming it Jones. Such a cute name for such a cute animal. Darlene wants to come over for coffee. I warned her that our place is a mess. Truthfully, I'd rather be writing than cleaning and I think that frustrates the sisters, because they're like, "you need to be cleaning too....

Moving Slowly, Murder Party the Movie and Writing

I really haven't been out of the house for a week due to my issue with walking on my broken toe. Fun. It's so swollen. I wonder if I broke the metatarsal phalangeal joint. Wearing shoes is uncomfortable. I made the mistake of walking a puzzle down to the community library box, which is down the street, and that was a painful little journey. I've been watching horror movies. I'll still watch it if the acting is bad but the script is interesting. I love stories.  I just watched a 2007 horror movie called "Murder Party" that was freaking hilarious and the characters were  interesting. I really liked how the story unfolded. It's about this guy who finds an invitation to a party and decides to go. It's very artsy and probably commentary on the art world.  Art is subjective. Artists.... yeah.  I'm an artist, so I'm probably pretty strange too. I talk for hours on characters. I listen to people's lives and say things like "what an interesting...

Zombie Dreams, Manic Superhero Lover and Writing

 I had this very vivid and weird dream that started out nicely at a restaurant and ended with zombies that came over from the zoo. I told my mom about it and her takeaway... mom: "You have no business at a restaurant with no prices on the menu." me: "But it was a nice restaurant!"  mom: "And how did that work out?" me: "It was a LOT of money." mom: "You never go to a restaurant that doesn't have prices." Seriously though, in my dream, the bill for three people was about $$$. That's what it's going to cost for Emory and me to go to Temecula Valley for a few days with the wine tour and the hotel. I should really bring my bathing suit. I love sitting in the hot tub.  I asked Sue if she had any small travel containers that I could put my hair cream in. I got this really great cream for curly hair and I've been really impressed with the curls lately. She showed up with a bag of stuff. If we were playing Dungeons and Dragons, ...

Holy Grail, Not a Wasp Whisperer and Writing

Monty Python and the Holy Grail says it all: King: "I am your king." Peasant Woman: "Well, I didn't vote for you." Well said Peasant Woman!! I didn't vote for this "king" either, so why are we folding? I never thought we'd be here, but here we are. I'm not folding, but I'm getting exhausted fighting. I'm also tired with the news. I can't stand hearing that disgusting "man" speak for even a second.  I didn't realize I had a different text notification for every person when a text comes through... But why did I choose a horn? The first text that came through for my sister-in-law scared the goosebumps out of me! I have a guitar for Emory. It's pretty cool. I always know he sent me a text. The wasps that came back are bloody huge! Yesterday I felt pretty invincible walking among them with no issues. Today, I saw the wasps lingering on the screen door and thought, "holy crap, I'm not getting near the door u...
