3 Packs of Cigarettes, Scented Markers, Snowman Snowglobe, Sweater, Water Dropper, Coin Purse, Feminist Book, Flower Picture

15. 3 Packs of Cigarettes. Here we have a pack of Virginia Slims and two packs of "Sports". I was wanting to buy a pack of Capris for a while but I couldn't remember what they were called. I ended up buying Virginia Slims, which are not as slim as you'd think. A couple weeks later while driving home from my grandparent's from our Christmas celebration I stopped at a convenient store to see if they had Capris. They did not but I saw these Sports for $1 a pack. I ended up buying 3 because it seemed like such a good deal, but trying to smoke the cigarettes was frustrating because they were so incredibly light. I gave these three packs to Art since I don't smoke anymore and he loves cigarettes.

16. Scented Markers. I got these markers for Lace as a Christmas gift in 2006. I gave it to her with a coloring book but she forgot it at my house or in the car or something. Lace and I work together so I'm not sure why I never gave them to her but I ended up giving them to someone else. I used these in a performance last week where I drew a portrait of a boy n my class using my feet. I don't remember who I gave these to but I didn't tell them about the feet thing.

17. Snowman Snowglobe. Nobody took the snowglobe yesterday so I brought it with me again. I saw Samantha at lunch time so I gave this to her - it was originally a gift for her because she collects snowglobes. We took my car in for an inspection and oil change and walked to Alonzo's where I had enchiladas and Samantha had fries. I gave her the snowglobe and also her Moleskine. Samantha forgets things at my house and in my car a lot.

18. Sweater. I got this sweater in high school. I think it's from Kohls. Either I got taller or the sweater got shorter, but I don't wear it anymore because you can see several inches of my undershirt. I gave this to Jo-Anne who works at the radio station and is in my fake band. I thought she might wear it because she is shorter and smaller than me but I feel like I might have forced it on her. I hope she will wear it.

19. Water Dropper. I bought this water dropper from Hobby Lobby last fall. When I went to the Ox-Bow school of art one of the staff members, Carmen, specialized in gouache. Shortly after returning to Texas I found a bucket of gouache and water color that someone was throwing out and recalling a similar dropper in Carmen's studio I thought it might help in my work with the paint. I usually used a bottle cap and never actually used this dropper. I gave it the coffee cart boy in exchange for a hot tea.

20. Coin Purse. I got this coin purse from my Aunt Leanne when she was living in Japan. She moved to Japan with her husband Howard, but now she is back in Texas and they got a divorce. It's a nice purse with some gold thread in the pattern. Their used to be a small bell attached to the purse that would jingle and people often asked me what it was for. I took to telling people that the bell was to warn you if someone was trying to steal your purse, but I don't know if that's true. I gave this to TJ when I saw her at the station. TJ does the radio show after mine.

21. Feminist Book. I found this book somewhere and was excited because it was free. I never read it and I gave it to Vanessa C. Vanessa is the news director for KVRX and she also works at the TV station. I don't know much about her.

22. Flower Picture . I got this for Ethan as a birthday gift a couple years ago when he was living at Casa Vista. It's kind of like a hologram but technically I don't think it really is. I didn't go to the party when I had intended to give it him, which was the year that his parents gave him a lot of wine. I did go to his last birthday party but forgot the gift again. I hung this up over the music directors' desk at the radio station because Ethan is a music director now. I haven't yet told him that it's for him.
