A Jim Arndt cowboy boot calendar has hung next to my kitchen sink for last nine years. Every now and then I do browse the January sales, but I’ve never found a calendar I’ve liked better. Holiday reminders, phases of the moon… and room enough to write STREET SWEEPING in inch high letters twice a month. It’s hard to beat, and of course I’d probably have to repaint the wall. Oh yeah… and I like cowboy boots.

P.S. I no longer rely on Santa or loved ones, I just hop over to amazon and buy one myself. Have you got yours? (2008 Calendar)

So, what does Jennifer June do all day? Here are some highlights…

• Wake up, feed the dog.
• Run around the neighborhood, wearing a pair of shoes tied with laces.
• Eat a persimmon.
• Read my e-mail (…notice I didn’t say “answer my e-mail.”)
• Answer questions from a San Antonio Express-News reporter. Article to appear next week.
• Stare at a map of Santa Fe.
• Go to Boot Barn in Fairfield …drop off a book, and scope out the scene of my Dec. 8th signing.
• Eat a plate of huevos con chorizo (my favorite.)
• Listen to a guest lecture by artist & boyfriend, Scott MacLeod at the Dorothy Herger Gallery, Solano Community College (Suisun, CA.)
• Pack up 2 orders of books bound for New Mexico.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot…

• Update my weblog.
