Mai Poina 'Oe la'u (Not To Be Forgotten)

Butter Pecan Haagen-Dazs is so good!  Noshing on some right now.  I finished Jean Jeanie's musical themed tote bag today.  It turned out pretty good, black embroidery on a blue bag.  As far as school goes, we are all behind in Ancient Rites.  I don't feel so bad, at least I'm not the only one.  I'm turning in my meditations tonight, but still have to write the final paper for this unit.  Not much happening in Prehistory or Modern Rituals.  Nothing really.  I've been distracted lately.  A few worries.  Nothing too bad, just hard for me to concentrate. I invited my brother, Jed, to come over and play on my computer, but I'm not sure if he will or not.  He missed a Papa Murphy's pizza last night.  Ice cream's gone!  My best bud, Star, is at her niece's graduation all day today.  She had to go up north, quite a drive, with her parents.  I'm sure I'll hear about it later. I'm listening Hawaiian music from the library.  Not too bad really.  All for now!  bye

Strawberries

I'm drinking a strawberry milkshake made with fresh strawberries.  Mmmmm!  I did some embroidery tonight and finished a section of the apron I'm making.  Visited with my family today.  Just realized I forgot my Diabetes med.  Should probably take my pills as well.  In a little while.  Don't you hate it when people stop communicating with you?  You want to just shake them.  That is the situation I'm in now.  I guess I'll have to be more direct.  The funny thing is, I'm so used to it.  Different person, different situation, but still...  A typical Virgo, I practically live and breathe communication.  I don't have a lot to say tonight I guess.  I didn't do much today.  Very unmotivated.  I guess I'm just worrying about things I can't control. I did walk to the Post Office and back today.  And I got a new pair of walking shoes!  Plus two embroidery books, in the mail.  Maybe not such a bad day after all. :)  bye!

OMG

Well, I've had a busy week. I finished my goddess sculptures and poem for Prehistory and turned that in. Yay! I did a paper for Ancient Rites and am still working on Runes 4. I am doing publicity for a lady. Mostly research, looking up addresses on the internet. I think I am hired for the summer to do baking, decorating cookies and possibly barista(ing). I need to get some good shoes! That just occurred to me. I also need to get a car. I haven't driven in a long time. I'm going a little crazy right now. This is a lot of stress for me. And I haven't even started yet. OMG. What have I gotten myself into? All for now! bye

Revelation, Meditation and the News

I made chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight, homemade. No one's sick, exactly. I'm still in shock over my friend, Star, and her revelation. I'm just glad she's getting help for her addiction problem. That shows real spirit and courage, which she has in spades. I guess I'm not handling it too well, though. I worry about her enough as it is. I worry about the people I love, I can't help it. Especially the ones with health problems.

Today I did a chanting meditation for Ancient Rites. We were supposed to chant a word like, "OM", except related to Norse Mythology. That was a real eye-opener. Instead of thinking about the past or the future or things I couldn't control I was pulled right into the present moment. I realized that instead of waiting for the perfect moment, to do anything, the moment is now. In other words if I want to do something or share something or say something, the moment is now. It is so good for me to stop and just smell the incense. LOL! Like smelling the roses! Then I wrote it up and submitted it to the boards.

My brother, Jed, came over and we talked and ate veggies. He mostly just played on the computer, looking at news sites. I get enough news just with Yahoo news and reading the occasional article. I'm glad I don't have TV. TV news is horrible, all negativity. I don't need that in my life. I'm really trying to be a more positive person. I look through faintly rose-colored glasses. Literally! That's all for now. Have a good night anyone who's reading this.
