I AM ready! I think...

31/5/2011

Well, Thursday we go set up for the EXPO - I guess I am as ready as I am going to be.
I've got my hand painted purses, Originals, Minis (matted) - COMIC books! A few hand painted T's, sketch book - stuff! ;-) Yesterday I hung out with the creator of The Green Reefer, Joshua Boulet all the way from Texas. He is staying with us until the expo. We talked about how excited we are and discussed a few comic ideas for future toons. We also each drew a cartoons and posted them on FB. Sitting by the pool - funny thing the pool has no water in it! LOL The first time since we got it it has not been opened yet! LATE delivery of pool liner.. But it's still a great spot to sit and chat and sketch! It's not every day you get to hang out with a comic super hero ;-)
Now ready for the EXPO I just want to be there! Seeing all the people from last year and meeting some new faces! Having Josh stay has been interesting and fun! ;-) I was shocked to hear that in TEXAS you can go to jail for having a roach! How sad it that? To have your life ruined by smoking a joint. A crime worth going to jail for? NEVER.
I really hope to get my message across this time - I am more experienced (a little shy) but I realize this is my opportunity ( Thank you Marco Renda- who is also a patient and knows better than most the importance of his medicine ) to tell people what we know. To help get out the message. I need to take only one look at my son and I am reminded why I am here doing what I am doing.
Not sure I'll get much of a chance to blog until after the EXPO now - but I will be posting photos and sharing stories after so I hope you continue to check in.. A purse at the EXPO - this one is MINE ;-) I have only a couple for sale so if your interested come see me early! ;-)
Ready or not here we come! ;-))
You can purchase only if you promise to carry it LOUD and PROUD!

ONE Of the most beautiful places I know!

29/5/2011

A friend asked me if I would help her - She runs a place called Loretto Maryholme, I have been blessed being able to go there in past for Potlucks (not that kind) ;-) other events - book readings etc. . Working there today - helping with cleaning the cottages was amazing.
There is a little log cabin that indians built for the original property owner one of the Sisters was telling me.. It is full of rooms and has a beautiful wrap around porch and the property is simply breath taking. When I am there I feel better. I feel that because it is a retreat so many people have prayed there I feel it in the air. Surrounded by beauty, looking at the lake.. being in all the rooms imagining all the wonderful events that have taken place there over the many years. Hard not to feel closer to God.
It can be rented! Or you could attend one of the many retreats. Normally with the EXPO in a few days I would have declined. BUT I am so happy I did not.
I also get to see some women I LOVE, good friends.. I even enjoyed doing the laundry! LOL

http://www.lorettomaryholme.ca

If you want to get away , attend an incredible retreat, meet some beautiful women this is the place for you and if you know me- hey -give me a call Im only a stones throw away! ;-)
I get paid by the hour but next week I think I'm gonna need an hour nap after the EXPO on that swinging bed in the front porch! hee hee hee I go on the Monday after the EXPO - I'm going to remember to bring my camera or better yet - SKETCH BOOK!! ;-)

Waiting now on the Green Reefer... Blog tomorrow and photos! ;-) Going to do some creative stuff!! ;-) xox <><

Treating Yourself Medical Marijuana EXPO! FREE SAMPLES!??

28/5/2011

A week today I will be at the EXPO. It starts next Friday (less than a week) - and like MOST artists I know I am still doing stuff!! Last minute - me and my Sherpa are hard at it
;-) I had an idea last year just before the expo that was a huge hit. Imagine your at an Cannabis EXPO and someone offers you a "little baggie full of dried green stuff"! That is exactly what I did last year and I had them running to my booth when their eyes caught my samples! On the other side of the baggie is my business card (below) and it says on it CATNIP> L.O.L That is what I give out CATNIP for your furry feline friends. It usually gives everyone quite a chuckle once they realize it is Not what they thought it was. So it's a nice ice breaker! I also have to say most people laughed and kept my business cards - most people have cats! So it is a great idea if I do say so myself for pennies ;-) and I'm making many little kitties happier! hee hee hee

This EXPO is about many things to US.
ONE: EDUCATION for us to become educated and hopefully to Educate a few people. A better word would be to share our experience and encourage people to Educate themselves. It is the only way you truly learn something when you are curious to do so. We all know that from all the useless stuff we learned in High School ;-) We learned best what we were most interested in. I have patients come and share info with me. Some have become good friends.Last year Storm learned about a few different strains that really helped with his "body pain". When you are in chronic pain it is nice to be able to control the body pain and some strains also make you feel good too. THIS is very important. It makes me shake my head when they (BIG PHARM) says they can make cannabis that takes the "high" feeling out.
When you suffer with health issues you have much to think about. A little mental feel GOOD is just as important as the physical aspects. Ask anyone who is suffering with pain daily in their life. How it can take its toll on you some days. Sadly some people it takes it's toll on them and they no longer feel they can continue.
TWO: FUN!!!
We get so socialize, see friends that we don't get to see that often! Check out all the cool stuff, cannabis related and other, get some amazing clothing. I am going to invest in something HEMP for myself ;-) Storm gets to meet some incredible people who love Gardening and Cannabis. People who really know their stuff and are as passionate as he is. His passion is learning about the plant. It always has been - you should see our vegetable garden this year! ;-)) We laugh - I get to hang with the Green Reefer who make me laugh all the time with his simple e mails over the past year - he is coming to visit us tomorrow for a couple of days! I did not warn him that this is a house that does NOT sleep in.. hee hee
*the one thing is Norm does not get to come. We have a house full of animals! HOPE is a full time puppy!! So Norm stays home - Not to mention he has to get that pool ready for the HOT weather we are expecting!! LOL But I talk to him all the time and he is my sherpa - with set up and take down - He is also my personal set design and PROP man! LOL - I am so FRICKIN LUCKY! And he works for - peanuts .. wink wink, nudge nudge...

So I better get back to work and print my business cards I certainly don't want to let down any FELINE friends this year! * If anyone grows catnap and wants to donate some in exchange for some free advertising let me know for next year! This year is already bigger and better than last year so you know its just going to continue! Perhaps next year it will be legal! Perhaps one day I can hand out free sample of God's natural healing medicine! !! IMAGINE!

COME see me for your FREE FELINE Friendly SAMPLE :-)

Georgia... On my mind. Storm's Story

25/5/2011

O.k. here goes.. if you read this and IF you care about me, my son .. someone you love? SOMEONE you know who has cancer, someone hurting? What if someone you know gets cancer in a year.. you will wish you knew. PLEASE watch this you tube video. Seriously I am asking you. It is important to me.
It is 15 mins. If you care at all what I am doing, if you have ever smiled at one of my cartoons? I made you smile?? ;-) Am I asking too much ? 15 mins. Please.
   If it were your child and you asked me I would watch.
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9ZD9JFo7Vw&feature=share

  Our son's story is going to be in the next Issue of Treating Yourself. Issue # 29 a good friend said to me "you know you might get some flack.." My reply -walk in our shoes.
This story was hard to write. Because it is not a story it is true life. To tell enough, to make enough people realize how important this is. As you might know I don't like to talk about it. It is painful for us to know our son is hurting. I get too emotional, I'm a wimp, I tear up.. I am inspired by love to draw and make sure people learn. ESPECIALLY PARENTS. I DO NOT want to have to worry about my son's medicine! I HAVE SEEN it take away his pain. IT is that simple. NO ONE has died from it. Do you know how many people die from prescribed medications every day? It is TIME to speak up. KNOW that you have a choice. So that's all I can say to anyone. This is our child. The love of our life. What would you do? What ever it takes..
I'll post when the issue of Treating Yourself is out. PLEASE watch this video.
If you don't believe it look it up yourself!

Long Weekend in Canada! Horay for Victoria day!

23/5/2011

It's the long weekend but far from being a weekend of rest! It seems to be our weekend to get ready for the rest of the summer. We have already got so much done. I love my backyard! When we moved into out house there was a picnic table in the back yard and a little bush. THAT is it, no fence - nothing. Every year we add or do something now it is a little oasis (for us anyhow) footsteps from our door. This year we had to replace our pool liner - first time - so the first once really lasted well. It should be complete by the weekend. :-) I hope as I have invited my friend Josh (visiting from Texas) to swim! LOL - Water would be nice. We took out a railing will add new stairs and planted a big garden - Storm planted the garden - being the expert! OF course we planted a few extra tomato plants to bring some produce to the local food bank. I also want to learn how to make my own sauce! . The guys do most of it I watch and point! heee hee hee and make meals and bring drinks and keep company. In between drawing.
When we are outside the girls are out there with us Hope seems to really like the pond and like King Kong has squashed a tomato plant in the garden already. She still has to learn OUT! Of the garden. I'm looking forward to her in the pool. Tequila loves the pool and I think Hope will also. Scruffy LOVES to beat on Hope. I usually stay 'out of it' as I know soon Hope will be much bigger than Scruffy so let her dream ! ha ha Our neighbor sent over a few baby toys for Hope. That was very thoughtful of her. Well I better get my butt back outside back to work! I hope everyone has a fantastic LONG weekend - almost over! ENJOY it while you can!

Hope.... is growing like a weed!

19/5/2011

Hope is now bigger than Scruffy ;-) She is nipping (always seems to want to have your hand in her mouth) but I read that that is common and more about teething than biting. It's raining here the past few days but that is O.K.! There are leaves on the trees and birds chirping everywhere. I am busy getting last minute things done for the EXPO. My friend Josh is going to come and visit a few days before (a.k.a The Green Reefer) We're looking forward to that too.
Reading: Clan of the Cave Bears. By Jean M Auel. I read this book a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I have never read a book twice but want to read the others that follow this one so I decided to refresh my memory and am pleased I have chosen to do so. I especially like all the parts about healing with natural plants. ;-)
I am so looking forward to this long weekend - although a busy one, I get to spend I with my guys doing stuff around here getting ready to welcome in summer!
A new photo of Hope. With a dirty digging nose!

My favorite bud!

17/5/2011

Well the EXPO is 16 days away. Treating Yourself Expo in Toronto. I was invited last year by Marco. He is the editor of the magazine my comic strip is in. Treating Yourself. The EXPO is a chance to become educated! Meet others learn about everything from strains of cannabis - there are many- learn about growing your own medicine and MUCH MUCH MORE! I am very excited. Marco again has been very good to me, this year I am sharing a booth with Josh Boulet, another super, amazing cartoonist. There was to be 3, but Ivan Art can not make it as he has much to do and is traveling.
I wanted to make something to make people smile! This is it. I don't know about any of you but it has already made the 3 of us smile and giggle. Below is a photo of my favorite bud! Storm! XOX
The EXPO is so much fun for us. I am very grateful to Marco and Treating Yourself for helping me EDUCATE, share our experience and letting me be a part of this incredible event! He has also become a friend ;-)
Last year I had people telling me "your comic is the first thing I look for in the magazine!"
"Your comic makes me giggle every time I see it!" That is what it has always been for me to make someone smile! A stranger? Someone in another province, country, smile! How cool is that!? Too cool ;-)))
So I hope to get many photos of people with my Happy Hippie! Just the thought of them laughing and liking their photo makes my day. Special thanks for my handy Hubby - Norman for making my drawing become a reality xoxoxox I'd be lost without my guys.
I must be excited it's only 6:30 a.m.!

The happy Hippie and his favorite little BUDdy! And Mine!

Pro Choice. Abortion

16/5/2011

A cut and dry decision, I think Not. I believe you should have a choice in what you put in your body, when you are educated and want, what you BELIEVE is best for yourself. CHOICE.
What comes out of your body - The miracle of life... at first I would like to say NO!
Against abortion! God makes no mistakes... It is not that simple.
What about a child never wanted. Abused mentally and physically over the years because
of someone's 'mistake'? To be raise being told they were never wanted. In that case would it not have been better not to be born?
Simply - EDUCATION.. I really feel that in this day and age to get pregnant with a unwanted child is UN-educated, selfish and lazy. Does a child ask to be born? No. *Rape is the only special case. Being drunk, careless, forgetful, lazy.. no exceptions
To some a child comes not planned, but if they are wanted and loved it does not matter.
IF you do NOT WANT a child and you are going to have sex, THEN use protection. SIMPLE
No excuses.. what excuse do you have that would justify being responsible for a life?
So if you have a child and you do not want it the right thing to do would be to put it up for adoption. If you have a child and do not want it . YOU do not deserve it. A child is a Gift.
If you have a child and you think that makes you a mother. YOU are wrong. Mother is just a word. It is a title that should be deserved like any other.
Mothers day for me is every day because I have a son who tells me EVERY day he loves me and I'm a great mom. My son was and always be the best GIFT I ever received in my life.
I know the kind of mother I DO NOT want to be.
I've heard things a mother should never say to a child. I've witnessed children being treated the way no mother should treat a child. Some people will never realize the 'Gift' of a child, they have been given.
I am blessed -
1. For my son
2. Because I KNOW he is the best thing that ever happened in my life.
3. I have a small but wonderful family that LOVES me and that is ALL that I need.
On my mind..... back to drawing.

Ahhhh... the sights and smells of spring!

14/5/2011

I woke up this morning and there are leaves on the trees! How does that happen!? Even my husband commented they were not there yesterday! I can smell the dirt and the rain and LOVE every second of it! Summer around the corner. Give me heat over snow anyday. I LOVE Canada and our seasons but this past winter seemed like an especially long and cold one. Our puppy - after only one week is house trained! I do not - or ever have crated my dogs. I just make sure they have a lot of attention especially the first week! It means I am POOPED but - The quicker you let them know how its going to be the better!
It's a rainy day - I'm painting some details on a Prop. for the TY EXPO! And doing what else - some drawing.. in between helping hubby, playing with my girls and doing domestic.
I must remember to stop and look at the LEAVES!

Worked at kats.. in the kitty litter!

11/5/2011

I love my friend Kat! I work for her at her Gallery once a week - different days and some weekends to give her a break . Every now and then - (More every than then .. hee hee hee)
I bring her a toon and ask her to frame it. That's it . I always let her choose. She is gifted at what she does. She knows that I am giving these as gifts and I can't afford to frame them - LOL so she donates all material. She is helping me helping spread smiles!! One toon at a time! - so I keep telling her.. Anyhow - SHE is OSCAR and I am Felix! I cleaned today - did not do what she wanted me to do but - I had to .. I don't know how she works in there! BUT she does and has for over 25 years! She has clients from all over. Really - if you need framing and want to tell her make it look its best - see Kat. It drives me nuts - the stuff - it cracks me up too. I know I measure wrong. I don't charge enough! LOL - I frame something up only to find out there is a little ball of fluff in there .. hee hee hee but I get to be around amazing art, meet some really nice people, have cool conversations and I like it. She has not fired me so I guess she loves me too ;-) I also get to bring my dogs and eat her food. I have a great job. I get to see Mike who always makes me laugh. I am grateful to Kat for my job and her friendship ;-)
I brought home a drawing I did for a young lady today! I am excited to give it to her, I asked someone what she liked.. - I am hoping to give it to her a the TY EXPO. Kat framed it very funky ;-) and we talked about the young lady.
Hayley Jade Rose what a beautiful name! Cannabis is helping her. Google her name... Educate yourself a bit more.. ;-) Walk in her mothers shoes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ0ko8JNOTQ
Hayley and Storm got their licenses at the same time! Both in Canada! AMEN CANADA!! We were destined to meet. I might not meet her in person - this year but soon!
Hayley's toon below. It looks very cool framed!!
If you read this blog and you know her please do NOT tell her! xox<><

Georgia.. on my mind

10/5/2011

Seriously, for years when I say my name "Georgia" people reply "On my mind.." and usually break out in a song. The last person to do it was my Brain Dr. ;-) Who can resist that Willie Nelson tune. Actually there are several versions out there, Willie does it best. Well Ray Charles is also sweet... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thls_tMuFkc

A while ago I thought of calling the strip Georgia... on my mind. Then it changed to Pet Peeves.. Mood Swing (which I still like), Blah Blah Bog, Laughing Buddha and a few more in between. Tonight thinking about things . What's on my mind and the irony of the sometimes pain in my brain. That is it. Georgia ... On My Mind. That is the name of my strip from now on. The Happy Hippie is it's own as is Cultivating Compassion. They sometimes cross over. But that is o.k. I'll draw a new header image soon.
So On my Mind.
I was just outside watching Hope and Scruffy who are becoming fast friends. You can't help giggle as a puppy. It's energy and clumsiness and soooo sweet. Every day she learns a new trick. I am amazed at how smart she is. Sigh of relief. So a intro toon. I am sure she will change as all my characters do over time but this is the first drawing of Hope. The material on the other hand is endless. I Hope you like it. We do.
Naked lady: After seeing her photo ( I have great FB fans - I asked and sure enough I got one) I won't post it here but if you watch the Naked News your going to see her give her interview. She was pretty and has a great shape and GOOD for her. Originally in the garden of Eden, God decided we did not need clothing so (shrug) who am I to say. BUT I would not be able to do it! No panties even! In a crowd of 40,000. I also think the times are not as innocent where there were only 2 Humans... and I do think it somewhat dangerous. That being said If you go tit, flaun tit!
FB: Not a huge fan of Face book. I do not like when I see negativity spread at a rate that boggles the brain. ;-( Today I touched base with someone I use to know. Joe Rock Head.
Like yesterday memories came back - all good . LOL -some really good ;-) (Long before Norman) So wonderful to see photos of him and his beautiful family. You realize how much time has passed. It also was nice when he mentioned something I drew for him way back when. I forgot about it. It has been my gift to people over the years. I've been blessed.
As for Joe Rock Head- So frickin happy for him and he looks blessed with his funky family,
Still the cool guy he was way back when. The delightful side of FB.
Hmmm... think I'll go reminisce some more.
Hope:

1st Hope drawing.

GMM and HOPE!

9/5/2011

We went to the Global Marijuana March on Saturday and - WOW. The people. All shapes and sizes, colors and costumes! & more! All there to enjoy themselves and enjoy some cannabis. Hmmm I have to be 100% honest and say: there were a few people that I believe hmmm.. again (I drew it before) can cause more damage to such a cause. I was told by several different people that there was a NAKED woman (completely) except for the nipple rings and running shoes. One was an EYE witness that I know and believe. I have to say that this woman probably has nothing to do with Cannabis but only saw it as a chance for some attention. YIKES Right away people will think 'if you smoke Cannabis this is what will happen'. I can tell you NO it is not what people who smoke cannabis do. I have to say she had balls! LOL - actually she was apparently completely clean shaven so of course it is just an expression. I was also a bit disappointed to see so many kids. 12- 13.. who is to blame ? The kids. NO the parents. EDUCATION. Honestly - It is not for me. It is more for my son's age. Although the music was incredible and I was able to see many people I know, I think I will pass in the future. I felt .. older LOL and I'm not into crowds. I avoid the malls at Christmas and hardly ever attended any concerts growing up. As for those that arranged the event! Bravo. You have to stand up for what you believe in. SIMPLE.

My husband and I did bring HOPE, cutest puppy there. We had to, the day before I took my eyes off of her and she slipped in the pool! The winter tarp still on but no chances being taken. Pool is now drained and the stairs will go in before the water goes back in. We teach all our pets including the cats (and rabbits - in the past) to swim and swim to the stairs to get out. They learn amazingly quick.
HOPE! I can not believe how smart she is! She already uses the dog door! Only had 2 accidents in the house and sits and knows her name! She is so cute. Tequila likes her and we were a bit worried as Scruffy wanted nothing to do with her. Today was another story!
They played all day! Scruffy has a new best friend! Someone to tire her out! I'm going to draw my first Hope toon tonight. I feel blessed. It was what I needed. She is also already fixed. I am so glad we picked a pup from the shelter. Here is a new photo. Right now she is the same size as the other two but she has BIG paws. Hee hee hee Just the thought of her growing and messing with Scruffy's mind give me a good giggle.. I have Hope.
My mom came and took me out to lunch today also. We sat out on the patio it was a beautiful day.

Tequila & Hope.

HOPE 2011

GLOBAL MARIJUANA MARCH.. GLOBAL

6/5/2011

I was thinking, I'm not sure of anything else that does a GLOBAL day to bring awareness. ALL over the world. ONE day - ONE LOVE. CLEARLY it is time for this insanity to end. People want to have a choice. I JUST want my son to have his medicine without all the bullshit & STRESS that comes with it. There I said it!
I want all the people I now know, to NOT have to feel like a criminal for bringing peace to their minds and bodies! I want them to have safe access to what they DESERVE. IT is that simple. *Parents - I am going to start posting child related stories. You know why - BECAUSE there are many of them! Cannabis helping kids who have seisures! Brain Tumors! Chronic pain! ADHD! AND MORE. The last thing parents should have to worry about is our children's life saving MEDICINE! I trust in God and his medicine. I have seen how it works DO not judge me or my choices until you have walked in my shoes. For me it is simple and yes, selfish. I LOVE my son. I see him be able to control his pain for the first time in his life. What I do not see is equally as important - I do not see the constant suffering.
This is because of CANNABIS.. A PLANT.

I've been paying attention to drug companies now that want to make something 'ALMOST' 'EXACTLY' like it - but without the "high" the 'euphoria' one gets. WHAT the &^%$ is wrong with it!? Doesn't that just sound insane? Recently a Patient with his license was criticized for saying "lets get high!"- What is wrong with feeling GOOD?!! These people suffer more than most and want to feel GOOD, is that a CRIME ? Laughter comes easier with Cannabis. Just ask. I can not tell you the number of people who I have heard say - if they did not have cannabis they would end their life.
Tomorrow stand up for what you believe in.
Peacefully.
Have faith and Believe.

Puppy Power...

5/5/2011

Well after much discussion in this house today we are going to go pick up our new family member `a puppy! As you may know my Hunny passed away in March and although one of the smallest dogs I ever had, a HUGE void has been left. I'm not the only one feeling it, my guys and my other dogs are feeling it to. So we decided to get a puppy.
It had to be from a shelter, and it had to be a puppy. When introducing another animal into a home with other pets - as long as you introduce a baby it works. I have always been amazed how even the grumpiest of dogs has patience for a kitten. So just a week ago I started to search and found 2 puppies. As fate would have it for one reason or another One puppy was no longer an option ( the provider is very strict about her puppies being fed RAW meat meals. I sounds very interesting and makes sense but I was very honest and told her I could NOT promise we would feed the dog that diet. As my husband said " we have always had dogs and they have always lived a LONG natural, healthy life. We had 2 Great Danes both lived past 10 one was 14!" She said no and I respect her wishes. That left one puppy. We filled out the applications and then waited.
The entire time I was thinking it is is meant to be .. God willing, we will get her! This week everything just has fallen into place. REALLY- I laugh at how it just all seems to be coming together.
I am nervous! Our last puppy was 4 years ago - now Scruffy - she too was a rescue. She is an amazing dog! WITH too much energy - LOL - not for long! Wait till she meets her sister later today! Tequila my oldest - well she just ignores everyone but I believe she too will welcome the new addition. As for the cats - they have always held their own! Any how just the thought of it has me giggling and excited and a bit tired!
I've got the least and collar, blanket all ready to go. When we come home I have my sketch book and other stuff ready so I can draw and babysit! We will be bringing her with us to the GMM as we do not want to leave her alone yet. The name HOPE. You have to have HOPE. Always.. My first comic was called Have Faith - My second HOPE. I will draw this puppy - I have to it is what I love to do. It has been difficult drawing Hunny but is it getting easier. Hunny can never be replaced. To not draw her would be sad. Everything happens for a reason! Today at 4:00 we get our new puppy!! HOPE This is the photo we saw of her - posted at the shelter. I can not wait to see her in real life!
I will be posting a few photos. The sun is shining! 15 today! I have HOPE!

The Global Marijuana March!

3/5/2011

This weekend is a day celebrated all around the WORLD! The Global Marijuana March!
This will be our third year. I have had such a good time every year, SO many people with all smiling faces. To be honest I was not sure if I was going to go because of my botox, I'm only reacting with 1/2 a face again .. BUT I have been inspired by a young lady a Medicinal Cannabis user. She will be there - so looking forward to meeting her and she has the same problem + a few others. I have only had the pleasure of an e mail or two but she has inspired ;-) TWITCH and all I can't wait! I get to see my magazine family as well - Treating Yourself! All our friends from C.A.L.M and many others I have met over the past 4 years.

If you can find me - I'll have the coolest purse (LOVE the LEAF!) COME say hi! High (what ever you prefer;-)) I will have a couple of comic books for sale but I'm mostly there to celebrate! `And then less than a month away it will be the treating Yourself EXPO! WHAT a great month this is going to be! Now time to go and draw something for the BIG day!
The newest issue of Treating Yourself is out there! Pick up a copy! I'll sign it if you can find me ;-) hee hee hee Like looking for Waldo!
IF you are going please remember to party peacefully! No BOOZE - our friends have worked too hard to obtain this permit to bring us this great event. LOVE the LEAF!

You've got mail! Snail Mail!!

2/5/2011

I love snail mail. Especially because get my magazines in the mail -the magazines I draw for. I prefer to have something in my hand, away from the computer with a cup of tea- now that the nice weather is here -preferably outside! YIPPIE! When I go outside I also have Tequila and Scruffy and my cat Velvro with me. Sometimes I get things I was not expecting like some very cool T-shirts this week from a friend 'Medicinal Choice' Johnny. Thanking me for support and Loves my toons. A cute Tank-top too but .. hmmmm a little too snug for these boobies. ;-) hee hee I shall pass it on to a friend who will wear it loud and proud!

Today is the day to VOTE. I am voting when my hubby gets home - we always go together.
It is simple. When you don't vote you lose the right to complain! My son already went this morning! He did comment on how un-organized and rude his experience was- he was sent to a different location, - so sad - no wonder! Especially for a young person - not a very good example to be setting. Happily he ignored the woman and continued on to VOTE!

Today we VOT and on Saturday we celebrate our freedom at the Global Marijuana march/Freedom festival! That is why we vote. ;-) Time to go read my new issue of Treating Yourself - in the mail today! ALWAYS a educational read!

The comic strip are really great too! teee heeee Mine, Josh and Ivan's!

Back to the drawing board.. what shall I post tomorrow! My Happy or Sad toon???

I feel enough people are going to vote either way - a message is going to be sent! People are tired of what is happening. Does everyone even forget why we are having this *&^% election again?! N
