So, that’s one more beautiful baby in the bunch – big congratulations to those coo-coo crazy breeders.

My own news seems to pale in comparison. I finally got up the nerve to do some much-needed shopping this weekend. I didn’t buy much, but finally got myself a raincoat and new yoga-friendly stuff. As for regular clothes… a pair of jeans, one shirt and fleece – not a bad start. I expect another trip to some traditional stores and a few thrift shop visits will finish the dastardly deed… um, soonish. I’m really picky about my clothes, yet still fashionable retarded – how does that happen?
Sean and I are going camping in the Napa wine region later this week. We’ll be staying at Harbin Hot Springs which is retreat type of place that offers camping, massages, saunas/steam rooms, yoga, hiking, hot springs and, best of all, bathing suits be optional! Yay nudity! The list of hospitality services is varied – you can pitch a tent, book a hotel room or stay in their private pod-like domes, which mildly scare me. Nonetheless, I may have to move there.
I’ve been getting back into running, as I mentioned in my last post. I’m still wheezing and walking a lot of the course, but I’m improving, feeling strong. Beefcake!
Wahoo, time to go home.
*Kate lives on a dome (small mountain) outside Fairbanks, Alaska in a house her husband built while they were living in a tent, raising chickens. Only recently does she have plumbing, but still no electricity. When the snow is melting their road is impassable and in the summer the mosquitoes are something even Dante never cared to imagine.
In short, Mama Kate is one bitchin’ chick.
