Now Playing: I Melt With You-Modern English
Topic: Super Dog, Tyrone
I don't want to bore everyone with the puppy report every night. I cannot, however, NOT mention him on what is merely the second full day of being his human. Suffice to say, Tyrone is totally amusing. This morning his biscuits were on the counter, and he walked through the kitchen. Usually I give him one after making him "sit" once we go outside for the morning walk. Today he went in, looked at the treats, looked at me and SAT! He obviously expected a biscuit even though I hadn't issued any sort of command whatsoever. Roger said he tried the same thing with him this afternoon. Nice one. He's no dummy! I tossed him an ice cube tonite and he licked it, chased it, and played with it until it melted. I figured out you can give it to him as a reward instead of a biscuit!! He loves it. It's the interactive treat! On the business front, in my microbusiness class, I am progressing quite nicely on my business plan. Meanwhile preparations for CuervoMania are in full swing at the Leapin' Latina. There is a tent over the patio to keep the celebrants in and out as we see fit. There are ropes, lights, flags, keychains, shotglasses on shoestrings, three day passes and three day passer outers. There are t-shirts, bandanas and aprons,brought to you by cuervo, cointreau, corona, and anyone else who has decided to use this relatively uneventful Mexican date in history to promote shameles consumption in as many forms as possible in public (and pushing the limits of that!) GOD BLESS AMERICA-LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCA!

Moon In Aquarius
Mood:
 spacey
Now Playing: Watching the Detectives-Elvis Costello
Topic: Mind full of Air
Well, the moon is in aquarius, which is the waterbearer, but it is an air sign. I think that I have already talked about how this really messes Aquarians up. I find that this position of the moon makes me spacier than any other one. I swear I can tell by the way that I feel when this is happenin. Today I was low energy, and unmotivated. Haha-the song that just came on opened with "My head is a box full of air, and that's the way I like it." I need to find out what it is! I DO like it when I feel like this and can just space out, and nap when I like. Unfortunately-my day job wasn't having any of it. It was good to come home and chill with my new pupster who was burned out from being trapsed all over town. It's time for bed for the lot of us. Maybe tomorrow will be more exciting. (only 2 more days to Cuervo de Mayo!) Are you ready to PAR-TAY?

Tyrone Clancy Crisanti-Fountain
Mood:

Now Playing: Dog Eat Dog-Adam Ant
Topic: DOGGONE IT!!!
 Well darlings-welcome the newest addition to the family-an 11 week old Aussie/Blue Heeler mix. He came with the name "Clancy" after a dog in a movie. My kids decided he is "Tyrone". (My first choice was Achilles (LOL). He is as sweet as sweet can be (b/c he hasn't chewed up any of my things yet) He was in foster care because the first owners weren't allowed to keep him. The volunteer who had him didn't want to let him go, but it is part of the deal. She has him potty trained, crate trained and he will sit, come and fetch on command!!! That's better than I've done with my kids in 15 years!!! I didn't expect to be so excited, but when he was tired of playing, he picked me to curl up next to. I am OWNED!!!

Now Playing: Be Yourself-Audioslave
Topic: Market Share
No matter how hard I try, I always seem to be parked in this chair just around midnite. For a day where the stars were not lined up for accomplshment-I did more than my fair share of accomplishing. I am, however, TOAST. I don't even have enough brain cells still awake enough to make any sort of connections worth mentioning. Tomorrow (Market space willing-)I will have my 8x8' booth up for the first time this season!!! I have new product that seems to be a hit already. I did miss two weeks worth of points due to my trip back to the Heartland, but I have faith that somehow it will all come together. It always does. Stop on by if you are in the area!

The Three R's
Mood:
 quizzical
Now Playing: Michelle-the Beatles
Topic: Rick Rack
Random reality requires a check, once in a while. I was made aware of a phenomenon that happens every so often at the Restaurante Ranchera. The cornerstone of our bar is a man named Rick (You know who you are!) Last nite he was joined by a couple of friends, Rick, and Rick. Tonite, he was flanked by another Rick and YES, ANOTHER RICK!!! (somehow these three all spell Rick a different way, but I'm not sure how exactly that is sooooo...) This is a microchasm of my macrochasm...my neighborhood. Here where I live there is some sort of stutter or something. When I met my honey-Roger, his roommate was Michelle-when I moved in here, there were two of us under one roof. Also a block away, same house #-is another Michelle (we get her mail!) Across the street live Karen and Ray, next to them live Karen and Raynold!! Next to us is a guy named Rick. Next to him...you guessed it-ANOTHER RICK!!! So we have Michelle, Michelle, Michelle, Karen, Karen. Ray, Raynold, Rick, Rick, and Roger. Are you sensing a pattern here? I am living proof that God made me just for the Mic-HELL-e of it. These stories are proof that the universe TRULY has a strange sense of humor. (Special Thanks [a shout out!] to our cornerstone for bringing this to my attention this evening!)

Happy Birthday to My Dad
Mood:
 celebratory
Now Playing: Plastic Jesus-Jim Davis and Frank Webner
Topic: My OLD Man
It's my Daddy-o's 60th Birthday!!! It is also his youngest sister's oldest son's 25th birthday!!! So Happy Birthday Jim and Willie!! While I'm on the subject-my best friend's Son turned 20 yesterday, and her daughter had a baby last Friday (On the day after my Grandma's funeral-in the same town!! Such is the cycle of life.) This month has been intense, but we have already had the discussion about the eclipses-especially the lunar one on Sunday that was in Scorpio-the house of Birth, Death and Regeneration. I guess you could say that one hit pretty close to home for me! Today Mercury opposes Jupiter, giving people the urge to talk, talk, talk (Like I need an excuse!)and for the next couple of days the urge to divulge secrets is strong (but UNWISE!!!) Friday, Venus squares Neptune-don't expect to get much done. It's a lazy day (this is not good news for people like me who have Thursday and Friday to make up for two weeks of travel, and are looking at ten more days of insane scheduling, including CINCOCINCOCINCO and Mother's Day all rolled in one big enchilada!!!) This at a time where (Saturday) Mars-the planet of directness and Git'er done moves into the sign of Pisces-the sign of whenever I feel like it, but not right now...until June 11th. If you feel a bit like a salmon trying to jump a waterfall for the next month, don't say I didn't warn you!!! I plan to make the best of it by taking naps whenever I can-this is a good placement for dreaming up the next step. When Mars moves into it's native sign of Aries June 11th you will have the urge to MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! I'm off to visit the sandman...see you tomorrow!!!

Now Playing: I Wanna Be Sedated-The Ramones
Topic: AS USUAL
There is a show on OPB on Tuesday nights called Independent Lens. I stayed up way too late watching a documentary on the Ramones. Independent Lens varies in length depending on what film they are showing. This one happened to be one of the longer ones, but then again you can't really condense a career like the Ramones-too much craziness and AMAZING longevity. I used one of my projects as an excuse to stay up, and basically turned the living room into an extension of my studio...and a big mess!!! Last week at this time, I was sleeping on my sister's couch in Chicago. I had managed to clean the house before I left, so as to make it easier for me when I got home. When I did get home, the house was STILL CLEAN!!! The boy's did a great job! It has taken me a couple of days, but I have done a pretty good job of single-handedly creating clutter (all in the name of ART!!!) and while I have finished a couple of series of zodiac plaques, I have started even more! I suppose that a working mess is acceptable, but it is still A MESS!!! and now that I was able to get away from it all for a little while, I have come back to face the reality that I AM THE CULPRIT!!! OH NO!!! What would the FLY Lady say?

Now Playing: When You Wish Upon A Star-Jimminy Cricket
Topic: Class of 2005
Back to reality Monday. I decided to volunteer for the 8th grade graduation decorations. You know, because I needed a project to keep me busy (like a hole in the head-but then, I'm kind of into the whole piercing thing...) I get to create a 10ft. Graduation 2005 banner!!! Oooooohhhhhh! There is a star they walk through and I have cleverly decided to make the banner shaped like the tail of a comet-BRILLIANT!!! I have about a month to pull it off-anybody got an extra refrigerator box and some duct tape layin' around? Oh the things that can be done with a string of Christmas lights and some fishing line!!

Topic: O'Hare, I Swear!!!
HI-Kids, I made it back late last night. Just in time to get in bed and be bright and shiny for the people at Pedro's Menudo Mesa. Yesterday, my day began at 5:30am Chicago time-off to O'Hare to miss my first flight (which I was issued a boarding pass for, but which had already left (early!)by the time I got to the gate!) After a series of inconveniences, I managed to have my itinerary completely redone by a customer service agent who still remembered the days when he was restricted to flying only Skywest flights. The weather was uncooperative and winds were high enough to shut down all but two of the runways at the busiest hub in the U.S. It was a day of delays for almost everyone due to air traffic control vs. Mother Nature. I finally got out of O'Hare, bound for Springfield, Mo.-to Denver-to Eugene!!! Once I made it out of O'Hare the rest of my day was spent mostly in the air, and I got home around 11pm Eugene time. Elapsed time, somewhere around 17 hours to get back!!! The Lunar eclipse was in the wee hours of this morning. The moon yesterday was what is called "void of course" It is when the moon is in between astrological signs and is a bad time to try to travel, or make important decisions. Boy, did I see it in action yesterday!!! Hindsight is 20/20! As for my trip-it was very special, and despite the circumstances of my return, I had a wonderful time with my family-all of which you will be hearing about in the coming days, (weeks...months...+++)
