About two weeks ago I sat here trying to figure out how I was going to eat. I could not wait until my Friday payday. Thursday night I looked thru pockets and change on the floor of the car so I could gather up 5o+ cents to buy one can of dog food. The doggies go through 3 cans of food a day. I had also run out of cat food, but was able to get by on some old tuna that I had in the house. When I got off work on Friday and had some money I stopped at an all you can eat salad bar on the way home. I ate like I hadn't eaten in a week. I then stopped and picked up a few essentials that I needed, including a case of dog food.

The next day I was going to the annual International Festival at the University. I had been looking forward to going since last year. I got some Lebanese food, Thai tea* which reminds me that I need to add tea to my favorite things list. I had a good time there, watching the dancers and especially enjoyed the men doing the Turkish dances, they looked alot like Russian dancers when they circled the room on their knees. I bought a wooden snake at the Peru exhibit and startled some childen when I dropped it on the outside bricks and blurted out "my snake". The snake lost one of it's eyes in the fall and I went back and got a replacement snake.
