Absolutely Fabulous News!

Prepare to rejoice.  Absolutely Fabulous is back. 

Yes, seriously. 

"In late August I start filming on three episodes of Absolutely Fabulous, which we are all ecstatic about," Joanna Lumley (Patsy) said in a recent Hello! magazine interview. 

I think it's safe to assume that this is the best news of the day. I might need to do at least one cartwheel. Wheeeee! 

Cigarettes and cocktails for everyone. Cheers, sweetie darling!

Team Bossy needs you!

It’s Albuquerque AIDS Walk time! This year’s walk happens Saturday, April 30 at 11 a.m. at Highland High School, a.k.a. Beavis and Butthead's stomping grounds. Seriously, this school was the inspiration. B&B creator, Mike Judge, attended HHS. I digress...

My walk crew, Team Bossy, is exceptionally fabulous. Please sponsor us!

The Michael King Memorial AIDS Walk is a local, grass-roots effort to feed community members living with HIV/AIDS.

Every dollar raised will go to the Joe & Jean Travis HIV/AIDS Food Bank.

The HIV/AIDS epidemic hit home for Joe and Jean Travis in the 90’s when their son, Michael King, tested positive. After AIDS took Michael in 1995, Joe and Jean turned dedicated their lives to fighting AIDS, feeding HIV/AIDS positive people, taking them to medical appointments, providing financial assistance when possible, overseeing the NM AIDS Quilt, volunteering with The United Court of the Sandias and volunteering 15 years at New Mexico AIDS Services.

With your support, we know that we can make a difference in the lives of people living with AIDS/HIV. To help reach the walk’s goal of $30,000 to fund the Joe & Jean Travis HIV/AIDS Food Bank, please sponsor Team Bossy.

Pledges in any amount are greatly appreciated. Donations can be made in cash or check. All donations are tax deductible.

Please make checks out to: Joe & Jean Travis HIV/AIDS Food Bank. Contact me for the address.

Go, Team Bossy!!!!!!!!

Love to Japan

Love and prayers to the Japan earthquake victims, survivors and their families.

For Whom the Bell Tolls by John Donne

No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manner of thine own Or of thine friend's were. Each man's death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee.

Awesome.

Mary and I went to the park today.

It was so chilly, she had to wear her polar fleece jacket.

The ground was hard and barren.

 

Then, I noticed a tiny speck of color...

Wow... welcome.

Spring is sooner recognized by plants than by men.  ~Chinese Proverb

Meatless Monday

Hell hath frozen over. I took the Meatless Monday pledge.

I'm starting each week on a healthy, environmentally friendly, meat-free note.

I eat too much damn meat. Over it.

After taking the pledge, I excitedly scrawled "Meatless Monday!" on my jumbo desk calendar inside each week's Monday box.

D'oh! Got a little too excited. Sunday is the new Monday, dahling. God bless correction fluid.

Now I have that wretched Bangles song stuck in my head.

It's just another meatless Mondaaaaay. Ohhh-whoa. Wish it was Sundaaaay. Ohhh-whoa. CuzthenIwouldn'thaveusedupanentirebottleofcorrectionfluiiiiiid. Ohhh-whoa.
