Ahhhhhhhhh who works at the zoo?? "Aramie Works at the Zoo!" Aramie has a job greeting people and playing with kids and cleaning around the animals and ARAMIE IS GOING TO DRIVE THE ZOO TRAIN and Aramie has to wear khaki and must remember not refer to herself in the third person around her new colleagues. At least not until she knows them a little ( Read more... )

So it all started earlier when compa Marc was telling me about this pow wow he went to up where he lives. He noted that the US flag was flying there and that the Indians were praying for their US soldiers of war...and he observed being somewhat uncomfortable with this situation and wondering what was up ( Read more... )

To my companer@s:
I love you all and miss you so so much. Please don't ever forget that, or me.

So, someone or someones have gotten ahold of the number on my check card. I tried to pay with it at the Winn-Dixie and...declined. So I talked to the bank fraud dept and there were all of these large transactions. Whoever it was had a mini-shopping spree at lovely places like Finish Line and Zappos.com. Also they started online gaming accounts. ! ( Read more... )

Tonight we went to the Collier county fair and bought a serape blanket that is so beautiful it almost hurts to look at. We were walking around, Juan and I, and it occurred to me that I am too negative and uptight. While Juan was going "Hey, look at this, check out those people who are having fun doing this-and-that, it's so cool to be able to hang ( Read more... )

Just as a person, not as an active intern (though I spend a fair amount of time volunteering and keeping with things as we all do). I'm working doing income taxes for the people and right now things are sloooow. We learned words yesterday! I taught Nata "giraffe", "the windy ( Read more... )

Vero put up a Christmas tree today in the house. It's all with ornaments and flashing on-off lights and that tinsel and some little stars all over. It's my favorite. I'm a serious sucker for Xmas and I don't know why. I barely have a family to go to. But for some reason this time of year is the only time when f-ed up shit didn't happen in my house ( Read more... )

Maaaaarc! You're gone and we didn't even get to go on a mini-walk! We thought for sure that when you left with flaco you'd be gone forever last night...cause it's flaco...and before I knew it it was 1 p.m. at Jalapenos and by then you were already asleep. This bites. We got Meghan to promise to stay til Sunday, maybe she will tell us Marc stories ( Read more... )

So we went to SOA this weekend and I was surprised by my own reaction to it. On Saturday, the rally, I felt like I was back at college at Antioch...this is hard to say about a movement that really seems so worthy but...I dunno. People there really cared enough to be there and be present and that's cool. And it was white, for sure. Who else really ( Read more... )
