Dear Friends,

This is a story about me sitting in my house attempting to blog. First, I spend a great deal of time NOT writing. Instead, I clean my office, do laundry, play with the dog and the cat (not at the same time), walk outside to see what that noise was, remake the guest bed, line up the DVDs, eat a peppermint patty, check to see where the smell is coming from, rearrange my medicine chest, rearrange Jenn’s medicine chest, wash toothbrushes, floss, pick, stare, lie down, read, stare some more, text, eat another peppermint patty, change the dog water, change the cat water, scoop poop, pick up poop, chant, stare even harder this time, watch out the window, eat a third peppermint patty, pack, unpack, pack it up again, empty the dishwasher, dust the photos, stare at photos, judge hair in photos, change photos, realize I am not having dinner, I eat one more teeny peppermint patty. And there you have it.

I never know what to say when people ask me what I do all day. This was just the last hour in my house as I get ready to leave for gigs this weekend. Total glamour. Now, you know.

Big Xs and Os,
Suzanne Westenhoefer

P.S. Still holding out hope for a woman president. Go Hillary!
P.P.S. Cheers for queers in California! We can get married now!
