Schmoozing

Today I was at our local vegfest doing the playgroup booth and passing out playgroup junk, preschool fundraiser junk, environment junk, and pet junk. Yep -- that's me.

Meet and greet and walk the street... the one woman, promoting four groups show.

I really hope it becomes an annual event -- totally psyched about the growing veg scene here.

Paul and Julia fooled around while I was working and once I got done I got a chance to hit some of the booths that interest me and I ran into people I knew already.

Which tells me two things.

a) I've finally found my community locally

b) I'm getting out and about building contacts like I wanted to this year

c) I'm feeling really ramped up spiritually and lifestyle-wise. We're still talking about moving and buying a house that is closer to Paul's work, our church, and our points of interest in town so maybe... just maybe... I can give up the car and hit the bike commute thing a bit more. It all depends on what kind of house we can find and ... at what price.

There was an evening 5K at the end of the festival but Julia and Paul were zonking out, and I have to admit I was knackered too. Add the drizzle and it was esp. appealing to wait for although it WAS "at your own pace" and seemed stroller friendly.

We didn't have time to make a "Save Roe" rally and I don't think we'll hit the local places doing www.dineforamerica.org on wednesday since we're getting together with friends and our budgets this week won't fit in dining out and I don't want Julia grouchy after preschool because she's staying up too late. Likely I'll get her to bed and they'll come over to hang out.

Y'all try to go out to eat on Wed. for me.

Tomorrow I have to do some business and get the house back in order. Saving the world is going to have to take a backseat to doing some laundry.
