AKwannabe's JournalJuneteenth - June 19
I am sorta ashamed to say that I am nearly 50 yrs old and didn’t know about Juneteenth.

I plan to talk about it/bring it up with coworkers tomorrow at work. Maybe through me and others we can exponentially “spread the word” to help make others aware and to remember. We should not forget. Especially with a racist in the WH...
R.I.P Chewbacca!
Peter Mayhew. May the force be with you!
Dang. I has a sad. I grew up with Chewy.
Got a ticket for lovelytheband on 4/20
Was sold out. Got a resell ticket.
Woot! 
Super excited. 420 day will be amazin! 
The venue is great. Neptune Theater in the UDub district Seattle. My third concert there in 1.5 yrs. My friend won the job to “reproduce” the marquee. They did an awesome job and I will be seeing it in person - just recently installed.
Here’s lovelytheband’s two biggest tunes.

Talk me down,please!
I went to the salon tonight. Spent three + hrs getting my hair foil colored. I have a lot of hair.
My hair looks the same color as Trumps!!!! OmfuckingG!!!!!!
I am sitting hear realizing this at this moment. It is blond. It is yellow in places. It looks so fucking brassy and fake!
I am dying of embarrassment. Jeeeeez!
Seattle snow day!
At least 12 inches where I live. Made it to work on time, walked in the back door and was told they were shutting down. I was one of 6 people. ...Spent half hr uncovering my vehicle this morning. Good times.
I am gonna have a “spa day” at home this morning then take a walk to the river to take some photographs. The trees look epic! Still snowing too.
Hot buttered rum(s) are next on the agenda. Cheers!
Egg baked in avocado
I tried it for the first time today. Avocados have been cheap lately at the groc so I have been buying more. Googled some other ways to use them and found this way to (basically) poach an egg.
I think it is more trouble than it is worth. Tho the flavors do go well together.
I used a slice of bacon under the avocado half, then precooked both to make sure the bacon was properly done and the egg was hitting hot avocado flesh. Scooped out a little flesh too. Cracked the egg right in the avocado. After about 15-20 min I had a mostly cooked egg. Served with toasted baguette to dip in the yolk.
I probably won’t go to the trouble again tho. I like other combinations better.
