1. I'm fairly certain that I'm going to try to make the bag that I want and can't find. 
2. The bag I'm planning to re-create, (tote bag style), has the best pockets and really, the design is so simple I don't know why more bags aren't made this way. 
3. Even though I said I'm not so sure about skirts, I bought a skirt last week that I love.
4. It will be perfect with boots, if we ever have any other weather than hot. 
5. Los Angeles, and southern CA in general has been under siege with hot weather and it is enough. (Not to mention we're having the worst drought in decades.)
6. This blog makes me laugh.
7. I was in San Diego this weekend for an amazing continuing education workshop on aroma acupoint therapy. 
8. Guys, this is amazing stuff! It was a level I course, (open to anyone, not just acupuncturists!), and I'm waiting with baited breathe for level II. 
9. It's a beautiful, incredibly powerful treatment modality that is perfect for everyone, and especially, needle phobic people, the elderly, and wee ones.
10. As an acupuncturist, having this treatment as an adjunct offering is powerful stuff. I can only imagine the results that can be reached. 
11. Even considering all of that, and LOVING being around so many acupuncturists in a learning environment, I remain convicted that I do not want to begin a traditional practice, (needles and herbs), again. 
12. But I do love this alternative treatment and will share more in the future as I begin to explore all that I learned this weekend. 
13. I was rear-ended in San Diego, while stopped at a red light, by yet another, distracted 20-something driver. 
14. I've had my car since February and this is the 2nd time I've been hit when I'm at a complete stop because the person behind me is 1)tail gating and 2)fucking distracted.
15. Up until we moved back to Cali, I hadn't been involved in a car accident in over 25 years.
16. I'm amazed that there isn't more visible damage as I was hit by Toyota Highlander. There's a reason Mini Coopers are rated high for crash worthiness and I'm glad that my car and person are good. 

And that my friends, is all I've got for you today. I have much to share about my recent photo show and of course, my aroma acupoint therapy. xo
