Week 20

   Grass isn't always greener on the other side, my neighbors have a rock garden. Windbreakers don't really break the wind, but they do keep me warm when it's windy. If I'm ever between a rock and a hard place it probably just means I'm on an awesome crack climb. If someone's down to earth it's usually because they try to keep their head in the clouds. Remember Dust Busters? Yep, they never really did work that well, nor did they 'bust' any dirt. It's hard to knock my socks off because I'm usually wearing sandals, or I'm just barefoot. And, Easy-Ups are really not that easy to set up. Luckily, I don't own an Easy Up, I have an ARS instead, and this weekend I was pleasantly surprised to find it uncomplicated to set up.
 
   On Sunday, I was one of several artists selling my work at a local community event. I quickly decided that this would be another fantastic opportunity to wear a summer dress. All of the other artists rented Easy Ups from the community center and I noticed how it was somewhat of a struggle to get all the parts and pieces assembled. I erected my ARS effortlessly, thanks to REI.  I love my ARS , which stands for Aluminum Rapid Shelter, it was probably one of my best  purchases from that store. I'm tempted to go on and on about my shelter, but I think that would have the likely potential to put any readers to sleep. This is starting to remind me of a two page email I once wrote to my friends while I was traveling through New Zealand. I rambled on and on about the 'amazing-ness' of trail mix and all of it's multiple edible uses. That was not my best work. Because of my current inclination to talk incessantly about my ARS and given my past novel on 'trail mix', I'll think I'll skip the antics. This last week I may have exhausted all of my creative brain cells from the oodles of paintings and jewelry pieces I made. So, to keep it short and painless... I wore a dress this week. That was cool.
