Brooke--You Go Girl!
9:03 a.m. 2005-07-01


I came across CNN news today, and of course Brooke Shields layed it down on Looney Tom. He says: "there is no such thing as a chemical imbalance". Oh dear; what an idiot! Tom needs to come down to Santa Cruz.

Well, yesterday, I enjoyed a much missed walk downtown. I hadn't done a walk downtown on my lunch break since last summer, and I must say; it was a very nice walk. I almost didn't run into ANY crazy people. Just when I thought I had made my way back to work "crazy people free", here comes a bearded woman talking to herself asking me where the Magic Tree was. Okay. I did not know there was a Magic Tree. I couldn't stop staring at her beard, when I told her that I didn't know.

Okay..beards happen. About a year ago, I was at Togos to get me and my daughter and sandwich and I was taken aback by the woman making my sandwich. Now, this woman was cleary a woman because I read her name tag, and it was a very common woman's name. I still felt horrible that I had noticed her beard and mustache; although I'm sure she knew about it and didn't have a problem with it. I would be lying if I said I didn't feel a bit squimish about it. It was kind of an uncomfortable situation. I mentioned it later to my daughter, and after she said her "Ewwws!"..she asked me, "Now, did this woman make my sandwich?" I lied, and said "no" just so she wouldn't throw her sandwich away. I don't think she believed me because she didn't finish it.

Today early this morning my mother sent me to the paint store to get some paint. It was early, and the place was full of painters. All I could think about was: "Oh no, I'm going to run into HIM"--the painter I dated years ago. Forutnately, it didn't happen, but I saw a lot of lookalikes.. Do all painters in this town surf?! I came back to work with another message on my phone. I have to go back to get brushes now. Lovely.
