Anticipation
Mood:
 loud
Now Playing: Anticipation-Carol King? Carly Simon?
Topic: Making Them Wait
Forgive me, My Little Pretties, for keeping you in suspense for DAYS!!! I was busy waiting on people who were hot and cranky this week. It has been a wild one. Our business is unpredictable, and no matter how we are staffed, there are moments that it is way too much, or when there are far too few of us, and we get buried. For the most part, people in this country do not know how to be waited on. I have been in the restaurant business for far more years than I care to admit. I get angry when people see you running as fast as you possibly can, to wait on 6 or 7 tables full of people, who all come in about the same time, all order something different, all want seperate checks, and all think they should be first, and can't understand why their food is taking twenty minutes. Is this truly a crisis? Is it so painful for you to be out in public with your family and friends that you cannot look at it as a chance to just be with them? People get mean when they are hot and hungry, and this week has been rough at work. I actually got right in a woman's face on Monday and told her "I wasn't making her food take longer on purpose!" She shut right up, and I packed her food TO-GO!!! That was the pinnacle of pissed-off for me. It is breaking the Cardinal Rule of waitressing, "Never talk back to a guest!!!". I do not consider these people guests-they are more like INTRUDERS! I have three days off this week, and I am not on any manager shifts for the next two weeks after either!!! YAHOO!!! My plan is working. Got to finish David's Mandala. Ida got hers and LOVED IT. I have plenty more to finish, and I have some time to do so. This is the moment I have been waiting for!!! P.S. Be nice to each other.

Topic: SCREEEECHHHHHH!!!
Havin' some computer hassles? Car actin' up? Goin' nowhere fast? Feel like you need to just slow down, and get caught up? Classic symptoms of Mercury Retrograde. Yes folks, this is the second of three times of the year where mercury gives the illusion of going backwards in the night sky. It is a time when communication and travel are slowed, and a time for finishing the things that have already been initiated. It is not a time to start new things. As I have been saying, the moon's double dip in Capricorn while the sun transits Cancer was really shining a light on the balance between home and work. I took it, seeing the fact that my car is inoperable, I was to stay in and finish up the mandalas that I have been working on. I wrapped up, wrapped up, and sent Ida's on it's way!!! A feat I have been attempting to accomplish for a couple of weeks already. Ha ha-Fire on the Mountain just came on and I realized that I WAS BURNING MY BUNS ON THE BRIQUETTES!!! BRB!!! Disaster averted. I have to remember that I am capable of a lot of things, I don't have to try to do them ALL AT ONCE!!! Wish me luck.

Now Playing: 19th Nervous Breakdown-Rolling Stones
Car is toast. Got to have a new engine dropped in, which beats having a car payment. I got this car last year. I have already built a new engine. I am tired of cars. I think if I didn't have to work late at night (at the unowhere) I would go without one for a while, but I would have to ride my bike late night through the bum rapers park to get home from Burritoria, and I DON'T THINK SO. I am going to miss Saturday Market because of the vehicle-less-ness. I think I probably need the break. I am pretty spent from the last couple of weeks of Salsaland. I have a couple of mandalas to get ready for their new homes. I'll be plenty productive. I am also kind of low on product, so this will give me an opportunity to get a breath before I go back at it. I have to say, that this moon transit, with the two full moons in Capricorn, while the sun is in Cancer has really made it PAINFULLY obvious that I am spending far too much time doing things for others and putting my interests on the back burner. Mandalas are what I do, and I have got to stop letting myself be swayed by the illusion of security that I use as an excuse not to do what I love all the time. It seems so simple!!!

And THEN-There was More
Mood:
 surprised
Now Playing: Attics-Grateful Dead
Dreamt I was in a house with a lot of memories. It seemed like it was my Great Aunt Edna's house. She was my mom's dad's sister, and she really was a GREAT AUNT. Aunt Edna lived with Uncle Sonny in a small town on the Mississippi River. He worked for the phone company, and we thought they were RICH. Aunt Edna never had any children and WE got to be the next best thing!! She was the TREAT LADY!!! She would come for a visit, and my sisters and I, along with the dog Mitzi (who knew that Edna had a squeaky toy for her too!!)would wait at the window on my grandfather's bed for her big old car to pull into the driveway. She would bring us the kind of candy that parent's don't buy for their kids based on sugar content alone. We got "hamburger gum" and candy lipstick and circus peanuts. We always went to the touristy little stores and got "real Indian moccasins" and some little trinket or treasure. All three of us were treated totally even, though there was always some little sisterly drama involved. In the dream, I was in the house and I got to this part that was like "Space Mountain". It was a wooden roller coaster that went through the center of the house, and I went on it but I realized that if I took it, I might not get back to where I was at first. I went again, and then made my way back up to the house through series of storage rooms, and found these little stuffed annimals that belonged to me and my sisters... Isn't that PRECIOUS?!!!

Topic: Dreamier
The next dream that I can remember was this. Baboo and I were walking through a really beautiful house. I was looking at the meticulously arranged antiques, and furniture. There were highly polished wood floors, and all the windows were open and it was very fresh and clean. We were watching this guy moving new handmade ceramic fixtures into the bathroom. I looked outside and there was this beautiful ceramic spa. MMMMMMMM...I said to baboo that this was the type of place you could buy if you inherited a million dollars. I guess I really now know what my dream house looks like!!!

Mood:

Now Playing: Dreamer-Supertramp
Even if I hadn't been anticipating this full moon, I would have known it was near just based upon the fact that I have been going to the outer limits in my dreamland journeys for the past few nights. Considering that last week I suffered from a lack of sleep continuity, and quantity, due to a varied and tumultuous work schedule at The Poquito Pequeno (the WHAT???) I also did not eat properly, since the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was cook a meal (or clean a dish, or heat the kitchen, or anything like it...) This is one of the side effects of working around food-you either eat too much because it's all around, or you don't eat enough because it's all around you. The night before last, I got to bed early. I woke up at three when the Delicious Donut Dude left for work (sweet thang!). I was up for a bit, because I was hungry, and after a late night bowl of "LIFE" (Mikey really DOES like it!!!) I dropped back into dream world. This is what I remember... I am at our home. I go to return a movie. It is Harold and Maude. I am driving, and I get over to what seems to be U of O campus. I go into this building, the Knight Library? Feels like, and I make a phone call at a pay phone. (NO-and I don't want a cell either!!) Then I'm trying to make my way out to my car, and I have to go back and pick up the movie, which I had left by the phone. There is some confusion. The phone is not in the same place. I have to got through some official looking stairways and doorways, to get back to the phone, and they kind of switch like an Escher drawing. I liken it to what I think it must be like in the fourth dimension. The stairways lead eventually to the phone, which is now in a room ful of people who are all just hanging out and talking. They invite me in and one of them hands me some sort of smoking device, small pipe style thing. I am unfamiliar with it, as well as who has given it to me, but I feel like I am supposed to try it, so I do. I realize quickly that the room was chasing the dragon, and they were enlisting my help. I have a strange feeling, I realize that I would not have made this choice on my own. I am not freaked for long. I relaize that I wonder if I will be able to let go and experience it. So I try. I begin to float. I go out of this particular conscious state, to one that I am not as connected with at this moment. I come back into body, and I talk to the people around me. I am getting ready to go, I see a guy who hands me something kind of like a garlic necklace, but it is some sort of drug, and he is telling me to soak it like tea. Then I look into his face and it is kind of like a corn doll with these really deep dark eyes!!! I realize that I am not supposed to take it, and I go away. There is more, but I am too tired to continue talking about it, so I will communicate some more tomorrow, after another night of FULL MOON FANTASY!!! See you in my dreams!

Internet Explorer is not my friend the last couple of days. I keep getting blipped from my blog entries-GRRRRRRR!!! One more try. Saturday Market was GREAT this week-EVEN THOUGH SOMEONE ELSE NOW HAS MY SPOT AS THEIR RESERVED SPACE!!! This means that they get it every week, and I can only have it if they don't show up! GGGRRRRRRRRRRR!!! I was SOOOOO CLOSE!! Now I have to wait in line with the rest of the folks (like I have been doing) and get whatever spots are open at the time. I am not likely to be in the same place twice now. OUCH!!! I am looking at it as a chance to find an even better spot! There is a reason it took them 15 weeks to get someone to take it! I had a spot just around the corner, and I had my second best day this season-SO THERE!!!!

Now Playing: Do You Realize-Flaming Lips
Topic: Time Flies
Do you realize we are floating through space? Do you realize that I have been HURTLING through it? I have been dealing with some computer blips, still due to some pop-ups that rode in on a download (kids!) and have been using my precious computer time to deal with them, and therefore not been able to tell you all the fun little factoids and stories that I usually spill on you. Waaahhhh!! The most exciting update I have today concerns my personal planet-Saturn (planet of truth, restriction, time and timing) moving into LEO for a two and a half year stay. THIS IS GOOD NEWS!! It has been wallowing in Cancer for a while now, and while it brings focus to the home and family there, it gets really heavy floating around in that emotional water sign. Leo is the sign of Individuality. It is a fire sign, and it is ruled by the Sun. Leo's are born to be the center of attention. I tell my Leo friends (and Baboo!) that it is because everyone revolves around their planet. Saturn in Leo will give us emphasis on the individual. It will help us think of ways to make an impact. It will lighten things up. It can be a rough time for those who are unclear about who they are and what they want out of this plane of existence. Saturn is the taskmaster, and the time couldn't be better for figuring out your individual role in the grand scheme of things. I am excited about the possibilities with this transit. Since I have already figured out what I do IT'S TIME TO SHINE!!! YOU CAN TOO!!!

Topic: Odds n Ends
I started this out by ragging about "Fernando's Flaming Fajita" I couldn't stop the whine!!! I looked at it and realized that it is my reality until at least after Christmas, and that I had better use it for what it is, and prepare to move on. I keep thinking if I was only going to live a short while longer, what would I do differently. The only thing I can think of to change would be -I'd quit that job. I feel like if I just put all of my energy into Mandalafly, it would be great. I do however feel like gently closing up my ties with the people that employ me, and allowing them some time to train my replacement. I also need to save money for my IDA so...

Hey KIDS!!! Take a look at page three of the photo album for the newest mandala...I finished Ida's, and have it posted there. I still need to tie up loose ends on the writng of the intuitive reading, but I have a quiet house this evening, so...I'd like to have it sent out tomorrow. Back at the "Radical Ranchera", I had to get someone to cover my shift today, just so I could have a day off this week. That meant that I got to run errands all day, and it meant that I got to get quite a few chores off my list. I gave a hairwrap, and got to hang out at the pool with a friend. I got to sleep in, and I got to take the day at my own pace, which I needed badly. I arranged this a couple of weeks ago with some co-workers, and they had supposedly worked it out-however, I got a phone call when no-one showed up in my place!!! Not that I can be replaced anyway, but...HELLO!!! I didn't go in. It was not my fault that it happened. I am looking forward to the day that I don't have to deal with these sorts of things. MMMMMMM---MANDALAS!!!
