monkey see…

Darlings, Sweeties, Beloveds,
While I am a big fan of working with our strengths, doing what we’re good at, and thereby justifying my lengthy procrastinations… because it is somewhat of an inherent talent…
It is now November 29th and I really do need to tell you all about December…
So, I’m gathering all my will-power and dedicating the fullness of my attention to-
Oh look!
A squirrel!

NO WOMEN’S DANCE IN DECEMBER!!!
But
YES TO BUCHE de NOEL! Birthday Cake for JESUS!!!

NO FORT COLLINS DANCE on the 27th
But
YES TO SUPER BRANDified WASSAIL!!! Intoxication (of one form or another does seem to help us get through the holidays… I’m not encouraging… just saying)

NO SUFI CIRCLE on the 31st
But
YES TO ALL NIGHT SCRYING RITUALS… my mama does this witchy ritual every year in which she melts down pewter and drops it into water to make little explosions of hot metal… then the hard, pewter is fished out of the water and examined for omens… I would say not to try this at home, but that wouldn’t be any fun… so instead I’ll say, ask my mom and dad about it before trying this at home. My dad NEVER gives dangerous or sketchy advice to ANYONE about ANYTHING!

NO MAMA SING on the 1st
But
YES to sleeping in and sleeping off the headaches, heartaches and bellyaches of all this cultural craziness. I suggest extending the “sleep in” until at least St Patrick’s Day if not longer.

NO SUNRISE RANCH DANCE on the 1st
But
YES to all the grocery stores FINALLY going back to their usual disgusting selection of muzak!!!! Hey, did you know there’s all this science and a serious market around “Muzak?” Who knew! Check this out… made me laugh: http://www.muzak.com/
