well, if you feel idle...do whatcha do best...

our spring fundraising campaign has started, y'all. so i created a blog for GirlSource, where i work with some of san francisco's youth who are amazing. we're looking for fundraising ideas. and i figure these women are my future colleagues, so why not work with them now? i'm kinda 'bout that empowerment thing. so why not enter the blogosphere?

the girls just ROCKED a presentation at UC Berkeley on SF Girlz and the street violence present in their neighborhoods on saturday. in a multi-media presentation they expressed their concerns, opinions, and solutions, AS WELL as engaged the audience in a dialog about it. the classroom was TOTALLY packed. i was SUPERimpressed as the tech geek girl who worked the laptops, music cues, and projector.

i'm also working on a women's history month fundraiser...i pulled this graphic together today.... i like the boldness of it, but i need to work with the copy on it and how it relates to the background image. not bad for 30 minutes, though.

anywho...the weekend has been crazy...basically no sleep from friday to saturday. yesterday was a little less crazy...there was cat medicating to be done, apartment tidying for the michelle and the joe, gem in the ocean to attend with fumi and denise, and then i needed to unwind. i medicated krusty's cat ear and then i settled into the tub for a lush avocado/lemon grass bath bomb.
wow! it turned the water totally green.

i ran the water, through the croquet-sized ball in and watched, amazed, as it fizzed into nothingness!

i then stepped into the water, half-listening to the best of our knowledge and simply enjoying the claw-footed basin that i sat in.

but let me take it a step further.

i arrived home from the play, aware the oscars were happening, but really pressed to finish my laundry. a lovely, pleasant rain was falling outside.

and though i had a kitchen filled with bounty, i had no particular inspiration to cook.

i did have the desire to go to the Golden Lotus and have their faux ginger fish fillet. they go so far as to give it seaweed skin. it's sublime. and with vegetarian rolls, brown rice and an avocado shake (vegan, mind you!), i knew i would be a happy woman with a happy tummy.

rain could not shake my bliss.

neither could other craziness.

i rationed my dinner so i would have lunch today.

and there i was, happy in my tub, leaning over the edge so i could enjoy my faux fish and contemplate the two cutest cats in the whold world: krusty and feisty.

this was pure bliss.

yay.
