Summertime

Went to Costco yesterday. It was packed, Call me silly, but since this is a long holiday weekend, shouldn't people (not me of course) be out camping or something? I mean isn't that what normal people do? We all know I'm not normal, so nuff said. My idea of camping is the Marriott with no Room Service. In fact if you want the perfect picture of me camping, watch the movie Troop Beverly Hills. Shelley Long is me, in spades.

Tomorrow is Seward Alaska's big day. The Mt Marathon race. People tun up a shale rock mountain and back down it again, usually actually fall down it, but they do it every year. Whackos. They go all out for he 4th of July. The Coast Guard cutter Mustang will set off fireworks and the race, festivities, the bars willl be packed. If there is a cruise ship in, OMG. Yeah, I went to the 4th of July festivities once. It was CRAZY down there.

You know what I don't understand? I've lived her for over 20 years and I don't get why they have fireworks. Really. They are illegal to set off anywhere but the incredibly small town of Huston, Seriously, the population is about 90. It is the only place you can legally buy or sell fireworks, just outside of Wasilla, Easy for Sarah to watch from her house. In any case, most people wait till midnight to set them off, They buy 'em anyway and ignore the giant signs that say fireworks are illegal in the Municipality of Anchorage on the drive back from Huston. Plus it is still light out at midnight, so not like you can see them really well. You can't. On New Years Eve you can, it is dark most the time. Also they may life the ban on New Years cuz we have snow and it's less likely to start a fire.

So the Cutter Mustang will set off the fireworks tomorrow at midnight in Seward, here in Anchorage we have our own show, down by the water, an 'expert' sets them off at midnite. Still not really that "ooohhhh aaahhhh" experience cuz it's too freaking light!!! They should wait till dusk at about 2am then release the pretty lights. then dawn comes at about 330am. Maybe it's just me and maybe we want to feel normal like other people during the 4th of July. No clue, but WTH...

So why aren't these idiots camping? They are all over town, every where I go i see people. They should leave town and me alone here so I can do what I need to do without traffic. Not like we have REAL traffic, but it's annoying enough.

Today is a bright sunny day, still working in my craft room, clearing out the garbage and getting the stuff ready to sell. then come storage units. OMG. It will never end, I may have to do a trade show or something this year to get rid of it all. If you need makeup, perfume, handbags, clothing (designer) shoes or partylite candle crap, talk to me.

Dr has cleared me for exercise. I can now resume disco dancing in the mornings. I need a disco ball I think to make it more real. Some of the platform boots that they wear in Mamma Mia and the jumpsuit i will bedazzle myself. Sounds like I'll be ready to dance. Right now I wear yoga pants and a tshirt but i lost 15 pounds when I was dancing every morning. Gained most of it back after surgery cuz Dr said I could not exercise anything that would contract my abdomen for like 3months. Sheesh.

I hope everyone go the new address for the poetry website i posted my poetry on, don't forget the 2nd page. I think there are a couple of poems there too. Please leave feedback good or bad.

Ok everyone have a great 4th of July, BBQ or something and if I don't see you tomorrow, i should post again by Tuesday.

Peaceout my friends.
