Katy Perry, a rising star/singer outta London, has a very catchy song with
the chorus "I kissed a girl and I liked it!" We noted it the first time we heard it, yes. But
we're singing it tonight after hearing it only for a second time hours ago. Catchy indeed!
"I kissed a girl and I liked it," Perry* proudly proclaims pop-musically. Ha. And, well, yes,
KO, too, has kissed a girl and liked it! Truthfully, we love kissing! And photos are our
favorite form of forever...and KO has kissed a girl on film for fun and loved it! Yay Pop!
And even though we are ages above the amusing anecdotes
of simply kissing a girl and liking it, we find it impossible not
to hum along to the song, adoring and admittedly amused by it.
"I kissed a girl and I liked it!" Ha! KO knows & can appreciate kissing!
And above all else, ultimately, love!
*also, KO loves that she is a K A T Y Katy. Of course!

Oz (intact!) (uninformed!) (pure and handsome and...viril!) TONIGHT:
...and an Oz tribute. The poor man-pup is losing his, er, man-doggieness tomorrow!
Sorry, Oz! Mama loves you alot (!) but you needs it, you do!!! Forgive me!!! Kisses...
Loving you forever Oz!
In the past few weeks KO has been experiencing unusual and intense
fatigue. Then, Sunday we got a stomach cramp that was blindingly painful
for about an hour and consistently brutal since. Ugh and fug. So today KO saw
a nice lady Doctor who, while witness to the abdominal pain~ and worried, to boot,
was unable to tell me what's wrong. KO had to get alot of blood work* at a lab nearby
and now...we are waiting. Lady Doctor** gets the results later today, and KO meets with
her again Thursday. The various and sundry speculation from friends has included, but
is not limited to: mono, lyme disease, thyroid issue, anemia. And no, I'm not pregnant.
Hopefully we will have an answer soon! KO plans to run the marathon on Nov. 2nd, turn
32 (ahem 26) on Nov. 4th and be a helpful and healthful maid of honor to Annie in Key
West on Nov. 8th!!! So things best be ok! KO must be in kickass condition! Rar!!!
That's the story. Will keep you posted.
As ever,
KO

**A.M. noted confusion, so KO will clarify: the description re the Lady doctor
was meant to detail that the doctor is also a lady, ehem. She's not a ladydoctor.
Just looked at my July 16th 2007 post and I gotta say, if you
are too new to my site to remember and/or just can't recall, please
DO CLICK ON THIS BOLD GREEN LINK RIGHT NOW to see what KO loved
and recommended then and still loves and recommends sha-nah-now. Do it!
Happy Birthday to my superrad oldest brother and soon-to-be-dad Rob!!!
Rob is the greatest, most generous and compassionate man. Love you bro!!!
Happy Happy Birthday!!!
Adrienne's baby shower & Beth P's birthday!!! S.O.W. power is potent, profound!

Congrats to my brother Mac! He is an artist through & through, true & true.
And, for the first time he's showing his work! His work is currently being
shown in Santa Barbara, and in the first four days he's already sold 4 pieces!
KO has always respected and cherished Mac's artistic genius. Back in the day
he focused on architecture and women, and he was supremely gifted. Now he's
branched out to poets, politicians and...women. And he's good. Very good! We're
so thrilled for and proud of our older bro. He deserves praise and appreciation! And!
He deserves to get paid! He deserves the rewards of sustainable success in the artist
community and the economics-obsessed world at large. He's sacrificed, suffered and
starved long enough. Congrats, Mac! Your sister believes in your gift and loves you alot!

Last week my Dad (aka RGO) flew out to the West Coast to visit my brother
Patrick (aka Trick and/or "the redhead"). As per usual, they hiked it up. To boot,
they saw the Red Sox win in Oakland. Guy bonding. Good stuff. Handsome fun!!!
