Follow Up
So, if anybody out there actually reads this blog besides me (and, believe me, I still have enough ego to read my own blog...I AM a fire sign, after all), I thought I'd actually let you know a few things that follow through on my previous posts.
1. One of these days, I am actually going to present a project on this page, instead of all my personal musings about, well, mostly myself and my perspective on things. Amy Quest is actually a bit of a LISTENING project, as opposed to a rambling project. However, I'm learning much about patience, so. For now, check out the link to the Postsecret Project, which is a very admirable listening project as well.
2. The WHITEST GIRL NAME is (drum roll please....): Molly. If you want to read about this, visit:

3. After I gave my acknowledgement to being sick, and asked it to go on its way, I went to bed, and woke up, entirely well. I went for a run at 9:30 a.m.!!
4. NASA was successful in it's target practice...After watching from the houseboat rooftop with my naked eye, I ran to the computer and watched the live stream of the washing machine making impact with the comet. My sister and I could barely stand the resemblance of the comet's profile to the American Buffalo. Troy kept repeating, " do you think it's for real? Do you think it really happened?" Unfortunately, I think it did.
5. I I love everyone. Especially people who comment on my blog. turtle, amy, ruggles, anonymous, I love you mostest. (for the rest of you, really! It's painless! Say hi!!)
Okay, last thing. In a few hours, it will be July 6th. July 5th is my father's birthday (Happy Birthday, Dad!!!! Love to you!) and tomorrow is George W. Bush's birthday. (finding it hard to celebrate, hard to love....). However, when I get up in the morning, I know I will find it in my heart to send the man, this human (just like me) love and honor and respect, such that he might act from love, honesty, true faith, and respect for all life. I think, despite all his weaknesses, it's still possible. He just needs to know that we support his acting from LOVE, not fear, RESPECT, not pride, FAITH, not GNP. Since he's over there with the elitist G8, it might help if he were softened up by a little love. And, speaking of love, check it out! The universe is full of it. Just open your heart, your mind, and you'll receive....

Hey,
July 7th was my brother's birthday and July 5th was three people's birthday in my office. These grouping things are always strange to me. Strange coincidences? Did you ever wonder what's up with that?

Okay, I know this is strange for me to leave two comments, but I thought this was relevant my association to you and bad punctuation. My incorrect punctuation, I'm supposing, does not run in the family. I'm back in town from Denver and this morning I came into my sister's room to use her computer. On her nightstand, she has this book called Eats, Shoots & Leaves. It has a Panda on the cover. Heard of it? Here's what the back of the book says: A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. "Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. "I'm a panda," he says, at the door. "Look it up." The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. large black -and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves." The cover says it's a runaway #1 British bestseller. I was floored. How many runaway best seller books do we have in America around punctuation and grammar? It leaves me wondering, what do the Brits have that we don't have that makes them so interested in these things?

Interesting reading! Guess W. and all of the other G8 folks got a little love from some folks in London.
