Indecent proposal

This afternoon while shopping at Vons supermarket a middle age red headed woman came up to me and stated ;"I love your hat; is it your favorite hat for I'll buy it off you for $5.00?" Well, it's not my "favorite" hat but I like it a lot. I was wearing a pink Boston Red Sox baseball cap I bought it while attending a yoga conference in Boston last year. And I loved my trip to Boston and I'm rather fond of my cap and it's worth more than $5.00! I told her no, I wouldn't sell it for five dollars. Then she told me how she was on a first date with a guy who had a Corvette and the top was down and her hair was flying all over the place and she asked him to take her there for a StarBucks coffee and she thought she could buy a hat at the Vons to cover her hair but they don't sell hats at Vons Supermarket. Well, it's a supermarket princess! I said why not as him to take you to a mall so you can pick up a hat and she stated that she didn't want him to think that she was that kind of girl. Well, she was a woman not a girl and she was rather rude, for I would had given her the hat if she wasn't so much into my face. I stated that I really was sorry that I was really like the cap for I am a Boston Red Sox fan and that her hair looked great even after it had been flying around. I suggested why not put her hair in a braid? Or ask the guy to put the top on. She then barked ;"It's five dollars or nothing!" I said sorry nothing! Hey, if she was nice; I would had given her the hat but she was such a rude princess I thought if a guy is so shallow to dump you for your hair maybe its for the best!

uck be a lady tonight! Okay, it 07/07/07 , lucky seven! So my favorite yoga teacher decides tohav eus do seven hundred (yes, you read correctly 700) sun salutations today! Luck day? I feel as if I broke my back!

Foot fetish

One of my favorite web sites is called "Pet of the Day" , a site that shows cute critters like mice, rats, birds , hamsters ... you get the idea. But today their question was : "Does your pet's feet smell like popcorn or Fritos?" Okay? Who goes around smelling their pet's feets? I use to get grossed out when my boyfriend would put my foot in his mouth! Okay; too much information. Still, I don't want to smell the feet of someone I love let alone an animal I love!

And the rocket's red glare...

"And the rocket's red glare, the bombs busting in air"
Damn; what a firework show my neighbors give me! I was wise and water down my yard for who knows where these rockets may land. What goes up must come down! The only thing I'm worried about is the wild cats I've been feeding not to mention my opossum. These noises freak out the critters.

You're a grand old flag

It's the Fourth of July so I had to hang out Old Glory. My neighbor really went all out! Flags all shape and sizes drapped over her home plus one huge one the size of her garage door on her garage door! Okay, we get it!

Loved driving down the freeway on a Legal Holiday! If only it could be such an easy drive everyday! Well, I can dream can't I? However, the CHP was out crime busten! I never seen so many flashing lights since I've been in a dance club! Like cockroaches they came out of no where! They didn't catch me but then even though I love speed I don't over do it. Because of the open freeway guys were zooming down the freeway as if they were on the Autobahn. What's the rush? I wonder if when the CHP pull these jokers over they ask them; "Where's the fire?"

James gave a kick-ass yoga class and it was packed! Being the last class of the day it was filled up! Sardine yoga! Even though the class was in the BIG ROOM still could barely fit everyone in. After class I felt like cooked pasta, if you threw me up against the wall I would had stuck to it!

So far all is quiet on the Western Front. But my neighbors have been lighting firecrackers for weeks! Tonight I don't have to go to a special park to see a firework show but sit out on my front lawn and watch my neighbors shoot out their Legal Fireworks they got at TJ. Bottle rockets, rockets, cherry bombs after they're done the air smells as if a major battle had be fought.

Well, kick back, open a can of beer, fire up the barrie and relax! It's the Fourth of July! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Room with a view....

My mother loves watching the T.V. show "The View" don't know why; it's just a show with four very annoying woman shouting over each other to state their "views". Today was a repeat and Ms. Walter stated that a current study show that "Thinner women are happier than overweight women". You think? I've known a lot of very insecure, depressed, neurotic anorexic women and some very upbeat interesting Rubenques women in my life. Strange to say when I was heavier I got more male attention than when I was a size zero dancer! My gal pal said that was because men felt threaten by me when I was so thin and pretty (her words not mind) Don't know. Still, I believe if thinner woman are indeed happier it's because when you're thin you get so much postive re-enforcement! When I started losing weight again women were asking me if I was losing weight and what was I doing. I constantly heard how good I was looking when I was dropping the pounds. Even men said I was looking good. We're such an image conscious world. Why do we even care about Paris Hilton, the only reason I can see she is rich, thin and looks great in clothes. When I was working at the City the number one subject of conversation was weight loss. "I need to lose more weight, I'm on a diet, I on a new exercise program, I still need to loss more weight!" It was like some sick mantra. Even my boss woman , who was a very tiny person always lamented that she needed to lose weight, it was depressing! I started losing weight when I got out of a very toxic and unhappy relationship, when I became happier with myself. Still, I wonder are thinner women happier?

Ara grata artis

There is a really bad joke that goes, what do you call a man with no arms or legs on a wall? Answer : Art.

Truth to tell, I'm beginning to think the best art around can be view not in a museum's wall but on many a human body. Today while shopping at the Larchmont Farmer's Market I saw one young woman with the most interesting tattoo of a vine of ivy wrap around her left arms. She reninded me a little of Batman's Poison Ivy. The detail and the color of each leaf was beautiful. Still, I wonder why people make the choices they do in body art. I may like a rose one day but the next prefer a butterfly so I'm tattoo free. There is one guy in my yoga class that has more holy images on his body than the Sistine Chapel. Which makes me wonder, when you have the image of Christ or the Blessed Virgin on your body how can you engage and enjoy real wild sex? Sorry, but my Roman Catholic guilt couldn't engage in an act of pleasure with a man with such images on his body even if he had the body and mind of an Apollo!
