I am neither as creative nor as tough as I thought I was. Ha!
This weekend I went to a cute little pumpkin patch in Oakland and tried my hand at carving. I saw visions of grandeur...a Martha Stewart cover in my future perhaps. Alas, I was brought back to reality with the hideousness that was my final product. The "winking" one is mine...yes, that's a wink. And the white "bejeweled" one is also mine. I tried to be modern, but as GQ put it, it looks like a spaceship. The adorable, perfectly symmectrical, classic jack-o-latern is GQ's...and it put me to shame. :)

I also had my first foreay into Chinese medicine this weekend. I need help with my eczema or whatever it is that's invading my skin. After a visit to Henry the healer, and $40 and a new clay herb pot later, I had my first cup of miracle juice. Ummmm...yeah...no...ugh...yuck...gross...and 4 cups later...still itching. I've been told that I need to be friends with the herbs, welcome them into my system, let them work their magic without blocking their flow. I get it...I just don't like it. I'm a wimp. No tough gal here. I've got 8 more cups to go...a weeks worth...grow some hair on your chest, girl...git 'er dun...
I'm going to Washington DC this weekend! I'm so excited! Jeannie...here I come!!!
