Hello Lovely Readers:
Remember that everything happens for a reason. This is a little tidbit from the writing class at the homeless shelter (downtown Dallas): You never know if something that you write or say will inspire someone else.
The Bottom Line: Keep sharing what you write. (Even if you don't write, share what you know).
"Keep the Faith," this is from Trevor Suave Palacio, a visitor to the writing class today.
Gotta go. Gotta go sing "Gold Digger," by Kanye West.
Alice, xo

Hi Sexy
Going to do a post soon.
For inquiring minds: the Kanye West song that I had in my head constantly (recently) was "Gold Digger." I'm probably going to butcher the lyrics, but: I Ain't Sayin' She's a Gold Digger, But She Ain't Lookin' For No Broke ... The song is from 2005. But, it all blurs together, does it not?
Gotta go, gentle readers. Also, am getting ready for an exciting Webinar.
Also, I'm tracking my traffic on this site now, so: If You Can Read This, I Can See You!!!

Quick post. Aren't You Lucky ? Keyword for this post: Snuggie. There is no reason.
Gentle readers:
Here is a quick post, straight out of Northern Texas (Didn't you know it was Geography Day?):
I have an English student (from Honduras, she is learning English) that I teach once a week. Today we role-played and discussed going to a restaurant.
For dessert, she accidentally ordered "Lemonade" pie instead of Lemon Pie. Dinner was roast beef ("carne asada," I think in Spanish).
She is super eager to learn, which is fun to watch.
Moving on: No music updates. I have had a Kanye West song stuck in my head. It plays over and over. Over and over and over.
Also: here is a good site to check out: Talks about World Farm Animal Day (already passed on Oct. 2, 2009). Not usually the type of site I would normally post, but I'm getting interested in such causes (long story). http://www.wfad.org/about/treatment.htm
No, I am not a vegetarian, just spurred on by a recent NPR report to learn more.
Peace and love.
Read a delicious book,
Alice

A Lovely Reader and Read This For Secretive Information About Snuggies
Thank you Jay, for your comments (for all others: this is to a friend from the Creative Writing class). I take it the trucking is going well. I'm glad you are reading my blog. Keep On Truckin!!! We miss you in the class.
Right now Dallas is rainy, gray, sad-looking, and balmy mixed with cold. Makes me want to curl up with my Snuggie! Snuggies are so Delicious. I advise you to get one if you do not currently have one.
Run, Snuggie-Deprived One, Run!
Now for a reading update: I am currently reading You Shall Know Our Velocity! By Dave Eggers and Have A Little Faith By Mitch Albom. They are both well-written. Sometimes I try to read books fast and it does not work. Often for me, reading in the bathroom (while brushing my teeth) or in the car is truly productive.
There are at least four other books that I want to be reading simultaneously. But, I have shelved those on the "To Read:" list.
Well, going to go for now.
Even Though Martin Luther King Day is not until Monday, honor him by going to Birmingham, Ala. and marching or something similar.

Hey Lovely Readers
Hi, Lovely Readers:
Just a quick post. I went to church today. The priest many jokes. Some of them people laughed at, and some of them they did not laugh at, like they were too scared to laugh.
You will go to He** if you laugh at the priest's jokes, apparently.
Go and drink a Naked Smoothie! They are refreshing and delicious.

Hi Lovely Readers. Going to do another post soon.
Here's the deal:
Going to divide this blog post into 3 topics:
They are: Posting Frequency, Sleepy Drivers and No Longer North Dallas Homegirl.
P. Frequency: will do another post soon.
Sleepy Drivers: People in Dallas (and surrounding areas--Garland, TX included) drive like they are half asleep. This is a Phenomenon I've noticed for a while. All you have to do is drive around Dallas for 5 whole minutes and you will notice. If said motorists are not driving like they are asleep, then they drive like they are a combination of: half asleep and super, Fly Off the Handle Angry at the same time. My conclusion is: It is blissful driving in Dallas.
I wish I could do it forever and ever and ever. Nonstop!
No Longer N.D.H.: I am no longer North Dallas Homegirl. I moved earlier this week (so am not homegirl--get it?). The apartment is nice but small. A penthouse with an unbeatable view. Laugh Out Loud.
So, I'll keep this blog until I can think of a better name.
Well, lots more to write, gentle readers, but I'll keep it concise for now.
Tired and want to rest my weary head.
Go and read a book!!!
Alice

Yay. Go Alice, It's Your Birthday.
Happy Birthday to Me. I'm blogging instead of doing more Urgent, high-priority tasks.
I listened to the And You Shall Know Us By The Trail Of Dead CD the other day (supposedly their newest). It was morbid, but also good. Please view: http://www.trailofdead.com They are from Austin.!!!! Keep Austin weird.
Peace. Love your brother or sister (metaphorically, not the actual bro or sis).
I'm Audi.
