Vendredi

ahh...tis Friday. Weather is warming up. plants are in the garden. I should take some warm weather photos after all of those cold ones. Today I think I'm going to head over to Native Seed Search in Tuscon-- perhaps snap a photo or two. Tuscon is a cute town. Even though it's big too, I like it much better than Phoenix. It's about an hour from here.

.....So, my brain is brimming with ideas of the micro business nature these days. Even so micro as to include making lanterns out of the tin cans out here. Stef got a big laugh out of that one. I bought a little statue made in Mexico and I've named her Paloma. She is the inspiration for a free trade retail/coffee shop and public access TV show! The store name would be Paloma and I'd do a TV show of me out in the world purchasing in foreign languages. I was afraid to tell Stefano about that idea. I'm only feeding him a few ideas at a time.

My career....ooh la la...it's taking a day off. I went to a newly opened wine bar in Casa Grande to see if they needed any help. I met a lot of warm and friendly people, they thought I was groovy, but I didn't leave with a job. I left having volunteered for a fund raising cooking program and $27 poorer from the bottle of wine I bought...still...it was nice to get out and finally admit to someone I needed a job. I didn't ask outright, at first, because there is already a worker girl in there. I ended up asking directly and letting the owner know I could even help out with administrative stuf if she needed....we'll see. It would just be a little part-timey thing. Going for a glass of Friday vino today..a glass only, no bottles! In any case, I was given a suggestion and a name, which I'm following up on, at a golf course...well yeah, there are many more opportunities in California and I'm just fiddling around out in Arizona. (do you feel the guilt seeping in here?) There are some great places here too, but I'm still in my noncommittal stage.

Okay, me cut up some wood and plan another garden plot now before heading south to Tuscon
