Many of you have been asking ‘what can I do about maggots?’ Well, hold that thought till next week. Many of you have also been asking ‘where can I buy The Changed’ to find out the backstory on the campaign?

Here’s the link:

“Do you still read?”

Maybe the most insulting question I’ve been asked recently. Yep, buddy, I can still read. Not only that, I ENJOY reading. Now get out of my face!

It all came up because of our Political Rally at Book People in Austin Texas. We had a crazy good turnout. Nicholas made a brief speech, then the writer of The Changed read a chapter and signed some books.

As you can see from the pictures, it was a good turnout of Changed and Non-Changed people.

So and but, before the rally, I’m cruising through the books, checking some out, and there I am, Amy Tan in my hand, and: “Do you still read?”

We read, breathe, and live, butthead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But the great turnout for the rally brought up my spirits. We’re reaching so many people—but there is still work to do! Tell everyone about our website and tell everyone to buy our book THE CHANGED.

That’s my two cents.

Keep the change.

Meet Liz. She still reads too!

So many good people supporting the movement!

My resolutions:
1.        Spread the word about The Changed
2.       Get Nicholas Buckman elected to the Senate.
3.       Start dating again
4.       Be more like Joan (from Madmen!)

2009 wasn’t so hot.  I LOVE being Changed, but let’s face it, dying sucks.  It’s the living that I like.  And I’m going t live, halleluiah!   This is going to be the best year ever.

I can feel it.

On Dec. 12, Saturday, I’m going to my first rally!  Woo-hoo!

And if you’re in or around Longview, Texas, you can come join me!  The author of The Changed will be there too, selling and signing the book!  I can’t wait to meet him!  I LOVE EXCLAMATION POINTS!

Where will the rally be EXACTLY, you ask?  (You’re questions are always so good!)

Alan’s Comics, 2525 Judson Rd Ste B, Longview, TX 75605.

A comic book shop, you ask.

Yep.  Alan Busch, the owner, is a HUGE supporter of our campaign.  32.5396 -94.7457

Come out and support the campaign!

For most of my life, Thanksgiving filled my heart with joy.

This is my first Thanksgiving as a changed person.  It’s hard to imagine my heart could hurt worse.  I’ve never felt the loss of my family and friends so keenly.

My grandmother starts cooking two days before Thanksgiving.  I join her the night before.  Pies are my specialty.  She taught me how to cook her pecan pie, my dad’s favorite.  The morning of Thanksgiving, we start the turkey.  This was going to be my first year in charge of the turkey, all by myself.  We planned it last year.  She was going to do the dressing (it would have been sacrilegious for her not to!)

Family, football, and food.  AND leftovers.

This year, like many of you, I’m starting new traditions.  My friends and I have decided to gather at the Buckman campaign headquarters as a new family.  And since we are starting a totally new set of traditions, we’re even choosing a new menu.  After MUCH debate, we’ve chosen Italian food!  We’re going to drink lots of wine and gorge ourselves!  I’m in charge of the lasagna.  I’m using a Paula Deen recipe!  So, yep, it’s deep fried!

For desert, pecan pie.

I miss you, Nana.
