** “Got a revolution got to revolution.” **

I attended another meeting with our political group, A Little to the Left (he he, I thought that I would get over the name, but it still makes me chuckle a bit). The group was started a month ago, in response to the results of the recent election. We were all upset and needed an outlet and wanted to discuss the current state of politics. It was fun and exciting and we brainstormed about what we can do in our own lives and perhaps going to other groups to get ideas in how we can help. I am glad that Josh went so he can see what it’s all about. Considering the fact that he voted for Bush in 2000 and didn’t this time around, meant a lot. We are slowly structuring the group and we welcome anyone that is interested. We are hoping to have a website up and running in the next few weeks so it will make it easier to post announcements and meeting dates. I will add the link to my site when it’s complete. I am liking the idea of this group. One of the members was saying that her father was upset at the current state of the country and wants change. He hasn’t felt that way since the 1960’s and Vietnam. I am hoping that we can do something positive for change, but it’s way too early to tell. It’s nice to be around people my age that share similar (not all the same) views about politics. It’s therapeutic, in a way.

I had my first candy cane of the season (Marty’s candy cane martini doesn’t count).

I am not looking forward to shopping this weekend. Argh!

Oh yeah, can we talk about the weather?! It has been soooo beautiful and hot lately. It feels like summer, but in December, which makes LA people more spoiled. (Sorry to all of my east coast friends, but really, it’s amazing over here.) I actually broke out into a sweat running errands during lunch the other day. Crazy!

It’s going to be the busiest weekend in a long time, but I hope that it will be relaxing as well. The mall scares me. But I am looking forward to seeing all of my friends come back from other cities. It shall be fun!
