The next chapter in the Mandalafly BlogBible consists of a weekend choc-fulla randomness including guest appearances by Mr. and Mrs. Random themselves! Friday night I went to a Permaculture Event at the beautiful Dharmalaya Eco-Center here in town. There was a weekend full of events centered around sustainable living held in and around a beautiful new cob-built community building. I went to give Reiki and it was truly a beautiful experience. There were people from Oregon and Washinton who were all there to learn about eco building, edible landscaping, health, and well-being, and more. Gives me hope.
Saturday I had my most successful day at Market, and then went to a party for our friend "RiverTom" who turns 50 on Wednesday. It was in a most beautiful setting, the back yard wonderland of our friends Barb and Bill, and we had the most wonderful food, including some tuna with a buttermilk and cracker crumb coating that was one of the best I've ever tried. Coming from Wisconsin, where the "Fish Fry" is a way of life...that's pretty darned good!
The party was organized by teachers and included games just like in school. When we got there, a piece of paper was pinned to our backs and we had to ask questions of the other guests to figure out what it said. Each one had a partner too, and once you knew yours, you had to find your partner. I was standing next to Mr. Random, and asked him to help me with this task, and he looked at my tag and kind of laughed and we started. "Am I male?"-"yes" "Am I famous"-Sort of "Is it a Person"-Yes "Does it start with A-M"-yes...we got down to G-M and I picked every letter except K-whick was actually what it started with...then when I finally said K, I couldn't come up with any K names EVEN THOUGH I WAS TALKING TO KEN-which just HAPPENED to be the SAME NAME AS ON MY BACK (coincidence?) as in Barbie and Ken-When I figured it out I felt like such a dolt! What are the chances that I would ask the person who has that name to help me with it!!! Talk about a RANDOM MOMENT-It doesn't get any better than this!!! I think Ken is a code word for Kryptonite, and his prescence scrambled my usually KEEN powers of perception. He said it was like I had anti-ESP. Mrs. Random said it was because he must have been using his Cloaking Device. (or is that Kloaking?)
Later on our friend Kurt (and I couldn't think of a K name!) showed up with a sinfully delicious fresh blackberry and peach pie with fresh whipped cream and almonds on top, and we played speed scrabble until the wee hours when it came down to a showdown between me and the birthday boy. It was a close match, but in the end-I let him win...(okay actually it was fair and square). I can tell you for sure now that those middle school kids have NO IDEA what goes on after hours with those crazy teachers!
Sunday was relatively quiet-with some more Reiki at Dharmalaya and then the movie Click at the $1.50 movies with Thing Two and his Girlio. I expected less from the movie (Adam Sandler and David Hasslehoff?) but was pleasantly surprised...of course I'd watch "Barney" if it had Christopher Walken in it. He's just great. It really was worth a couple hours of my precious time.
On the astrological front, tomorrow is a big day as Jupiter trines Uranus, and Mars squares Pluto. This is a day for organizing your presentations, meeting new people, and presenting your plans to make your dreams a reality. More on that in the morning. TA-TA.
