Good to see ya', Crew!
Mr. Nownow and I are hoping to start building a dog and cat run in the yard behind our house. That is, if the creek don't rise -- every time we try to do anything that involves any construction outside the house, it seems like the great deluge sets in.

My part-time job colelcting signatures on petitions. Right now, we're circulating a petition for an amendment to the Colorado Constitution to increase cigarette taxes and use the money to fund health care programs for kids.

Other than that, I'll be working around the house, getting it ready to put it on the market.

That I'm going to perform at - magic and balloon twisting - on Saturday. That should fetch me enough money to possibly fill up my car with enough gas to take me from Tulsa to Wichita on Saturday night for a family get-together. :)

51. The good thing about BBW modeling...
Is you don't have to be 18-24 years old to be successful at it. Plus, we fat girls normally don't look our age. I'm 43 and am mistaken for 28-30 all the time. More fat = less wrinkles!

52. Running for delegate to the Democratic National Convention!
our Congressional District caucus is this Saturday, and I'm a delegate candidate. I have about the chance of the proverbial snowball in hell, but I did so well at the Legislative District caucus candidate elections that I decided to try. However, I think I'll be one of about 150 people running for six delegate slots and one alternate!

Sunday, I'm going to relax, and Monday, I'm going to help a friend move.
