learning....

so i bought less at the farmers market today.
i'm listening to myself.

take good care of yourself, people have said.
so today i got a manicure and pedicure at the place where i get my hair cut.
most of the staff has been there more than 10 years. nice family feeling.
fingernails are cotton candy: light pink with opalescence.
toes were supposed to be purple but they are more of a purplish dark red.
now that it is winter and my feet will be in sox, only ketzl and i will see the color.

tonight is the halloween party. there will be a LOT of food, if past experience is any indicator.

brent musberger is getting old.
roger moore is 82. omg. how did THAT happen?
we are all getting older.

i won't miss the tv ads, but there are some wonderful youtube videos circulating. if i were more skillful, i would embed them here. "oy mc cainia" is a very nice one, as it the hockey mama for obama.

i subscribe to several green orgs that send good information. one of the latest from New American Dream was something to make you stop and think before you make a credit card purchase: you download (recycling the back of a piece of paper) and fold and tape it and make a holder for your credit card(s). the text of the protector says on one side: Every dollar I spend is a statement about the kind of world I want and the quality of life I value. On the other side are a series of questions to ask onesself before making a purchase: Do I need this and do I need it now? Was it made sustainably? Were the workers who made it treated well? Does it have too much packaging? Is it worth the money? Make a difference.
if you want to see it, go to www.newdream.org it's called the wallet buddy.

ketzl is not happy about the rain, and not being able to go out, but he gave up whining and went to sleep. welcome to winter, cat.

3 more days. or 2 if you are counting differently.
give money to keep No on 8 ads on the air. that's going to be tough.
