The Quiet Western Front
Mood:
 caffeinated
Now Playing: Grateful Dead-Autzen Stadium, Eugene, OR June 19, 1994
Topic: Bowl Me Over
Good Morning from the land of the Setting Sun. I think I like it here, because it is two hours behind where I was born, so it feels like I am sleeping in even when it is "early" here. This morning I find myself alone in the house, Babboo is skiing (cross-country) with River Tom, Wild Bill, and Pupperonius (who is apparenly part Snowshoe Rabbit). Thing One went to Sun River to snowboard at Mt. Bachelor with his Honey and her mom and lil' sis, and Thing Two is at a "LAN Party" with a bunch of his fellow "not emo" kids. For the uninitiated "LAN Party" means they bring their home computers and hook them together to play games with each other in the same room. Seems like a lot of extra trouble to me! Watching one of the dads lug their pc out of the mini-van, I had a sense that maybe there ARE parents out there who cater to their children's whims even more than I!!! I find myself in a really dreamy state, and want to just mind wander. I have NIA class today, and I know that will get the chi flowing, until then I think I will just coast. I have so many things to think about right now that I feel all ADHD, and scramble-brained and can't get into one little task. This is the kind of day where I make a little progress on a lot of tasks-mostly putter oriented-and if I am lucky there will be a dresser top and a dining room table visible by the end of the day. The real test of my skill will be if I can manage to get the downstairs sucked free of as much dog hair as possible before "Bunny-Butt" gets back from the slopes. Right now I think I will declutter my aura with a nice long, hot shower...

FREAKY FRIDAY!!!
Mood:

Now Playing: 80's MUSIC
Topic: Past Blast
WOW! My nap seems to have been a good idea. I hit the pillow so hard Wednesday afternoon, I left a dent. Since then, I have been taking care of business so methodically, that I have surpassed my own expectations for the week! Yesterday and today I worked at the clay studio in the morning and finished these two big pieces I have been putting together for the last couple of weeks. I went to the printer's, picked out the final papers for the cards, did the final adjustments, and went and typeset the poems that go inside, at the BDC (Thanks to LEAH for saving me a CHUNK of change by helping me with that!) I dropped off the inside cards for printing, went and took care of my Graduation Audit at U of O so I don't find out in 5 weeks that I am missing a credit or something...I got my Financial Aid award letter, and they are giving me enough this time! WOOHOO!!! I worked on my big sign for Saturday Market, and got invited to talk about my art at a grade school assembly April 4!!! Meanwhile, I got one of those "Classmates" reminder things in my inbox yesterday, and went off on a tangent (as long as I am at my computer, I am WORKING, RIGHT?) that turned up not one, but TWO of my dearest friends from college (the years that my Scorpina girl and I had lost touch!) These are the girls that worked the graveyard shift with me, and got married and had kids all about the same time!! I was the Matron of Honor in one of their weddings, TWO WEEKS before I had Thing One!! (In my Cranberry dress, I could have been in Willie Wonka!!!) How we lost touch is beyond me!!! It's been right around 10 years! I'm BBBAAACCCKKKKKKK!!!! Maybe all of this communication and connection is because Mercury goes direct tomorrow. After three weeks of drifting through Pisces, we can go direct in the sign of direction-ARIES. The sun will be trine Saturn tomorrow, which indicates progress with superiors and elders, so take care of business with them...We also have Venus, the love and beauty planet squaring Jupiter, the luck and extravagance planet, so it may be difficult to hold back on the reigns...think of it as high time you let your hair down and have a GREAT WEEKEND!!! Venus trine Mars on Sunday pretty much ensures that you will find yourself in contact with someone who is not your usual cup of tea-EXPLORE STRANGE NEW WORLDS!!! Thought for the day: How did I get here?

Topic: nappy
Just got back from ceramics with the kids at the high school, and then my NIA class (sigh-feel the love!!!) and a healthy lunch. The boys are at school, Babboo went skiing with River Tom, and T-Bone is warming up the spot in the bed that I am about to occupy. Sometimes in order to be productive you have to take a step back. I LOVE MY JOB. Tonight I can paint signs late into the darkness, and pretend I am back in college when I didn't need to sleep...oh, yah-I AM back in college...just in time for SPRING BREAK!!! (Timing IS everything!) Time for my nap... Thought for the day: "Do I need a nap,too?"

Topic: Chow Chow Chow
Hi Kids, (moms,dads,aunts,cousins...) I have been meaning to share with you a site that my bestest friend ever sent to me last week-it's www.thehungersite.com and it is one of those sites where you click and sponsors pay to donate food. It costs nothing (unless you decide to buy something from the site-which also goes to the good of the cause!!!) There are also links to other worthy click&give sites for free mammograms, saving rainforest, and food for pet shelters, to name a few. It is part of my morning ritual to click on it before I read my e-mail. Time IS money! If everyone gave one can of food to the food pantry every time they went to the grocery store, we could virtually wipe out hunger-this is the next best thing. CHECK IT OUT and FEED the WORLD!!! donation site

ARIES RISING
Mood:
 cool
Now Playing: The Colors of Infinity-OPB
Topic: RAM-A-LAMA
Happy ARIES. (March 20-April 20) It is the sign of the Ram and the first sign of the zodiac. It is the beginning of Spring. Back in the day, people celebrated the New Year at the Vernal Equinox-the day when the day and the night are equal, the days are getting longer and warmer, and the Earth comes to life. When the calender changed to where it is now, the people (mostly farmers) who didn't change with it became known as April Fools. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of War, and also direction. Aries is about learning the boundries of individualism. Aries comes into every situation as if it were brand new, and they need to run smack dab into the mirror to learn their lesson. They do not like to follow, and can have difficulty with directions becaust they are usually convinced that they know the best way. Their fresh and direct approach can produce results, and their enthusiasm for a project can be contagious, and bring others on board. They revel in self expression, and have independent spirits. Leonardo Da Vinci was an Aries (April 15,1452) You Rams have got some big shoes to fill! Get to work! (that goes for me too...)

Corned Tofu Anyone?
Mood:
chatty
Now Playing: Better Off Dead-(the 80's movie)
Topic: Recipe for..?
Well, ask and ye shall receive! My Blogmate Mrs. Random www.mrs_random.blogspot.com has posted a recipe for corned beef-and suggestions for making it with tofu! in the comments section of Friday's blog. Knowing what I know about Mrs. Random and her cooking (the few times I have experienced her food at pot lucks have been memorable) girl is FOOD SAVVY!!! Her BLOG often discusses her culinary forays and makes me want to sneak in and raid her fridge for leftovers... Now, I can hold my own in the kitchen (years of restaurant work has untold perks) and I am not opposed to trying new things, but the amount of prep work needed to "corn" things makes me glad for the good ol' supermarket. I'll leave that part to the professionals! I have this vision of opening the prepping pan in the second week and finding "primordial tofu" in place of the delectable "corned tofu" of my visions. I flash to the scene in the movie "Better Off Dead"-a John Cusack CLASSIC...where his mother glops this gelatinous, oatmealy looking stuff onto his plate and says in her clueless, sunshiny voice "It's got raisins, you LIKE raisins..." (If you haven't seen it, it's worth a rent-it stands the test of time.) If you have a few minutes right now, I suggest a visit to Mrs. Random-especially now that today is the Spring Equinox (4:26pm PST) and she is a Robin...her garden reports are sweet, her musings are amusing, and her cooking is inspirational...plus she has some other sweet links that are just plain fun. There is a link to it if you scroll down to the bottom of my page... HAPPY SPRING!!! Sun moves into ARIES. (we'll talk about that tomorrow...I can't blow off the WHOLE DAY on this thing)

NIA "Peoples"
Mood:

Now Playing: Fire on the Mountain-Grateful Dead (Dead Air-KLCC)
Happy Saturday- I wanted to share a little story with you about my best friend who I have known in this incarnation since the first day of seventh grade-several years ago-and before that since...Light was invented. Forgive me if I start to sound like I'm on Oprah, but this is good stuff! I know we have talked about her before, and I know she will be reading this before too long-HEY, SIS!! Ginascorpina lives in Florida, and we only lived in the same, small, resort/circus town (really), in Wisconsin for seventh and half of eighth grade, and summers through high school. I moved a lot, she had kids early, we lost touch for about 5 years. She moved to Florida, I moved to NORMAL (really), and while I was still on maternity leave after Thing One, (Big-T) I got an out-of-the-blue phone call from my girl, who's mom saw my mom's ex-boyfriend, got my mom's number, got my number and got in touch!!! We were still as connected as ever, in our life, our art, our spirituality, our outlooks, and our MUSIC-Beginning with KISS, and KC and the Sunshine Band, and developing into devoted Deadheads, we saw each other for the first time in 11 years for some shows in Cleveland over Labor Day Weekend 1993. (LONG and STRANGE doesn't begin to cover it!) What has happened since that time is enough to fill a library with books...that I have yet to write, so I'll cut to the chase (Put DOWN the SCISSORS!!!) The reason that I am waxing nostalgic about all of this, is that it has happened again. I got all interested in NIA excersize, and after I posted a quick note about how much I LOVE IT (well-I guarantee I will go into greater detail soon-because you should all check it out) I got an e-mail from afore-mentioned best friend ever-saying that she too had recently discovered NIA for herself, and that she was completely thrilled about it too! I think she is really the incarnation of my soul that decided to be able to get a tan. Have I mentioned that she too is a mandala artist and hairwrapper...just like you-know-who? Oprah might want to give us "best friend makeovers", but I love her JUST LIKE SHE IS!!!

St. Pat's
Mood:
lucky
Now Playing: It's Not Easy Bein' Green-Kermit the Frog
Topic: HHIIIIIISSSSSSSSS........
Hi Kids. I don't think I really need to go into the lore of the day, and all that, since that's been taken care of by the story tellers and the churches long enough. It fits right in with one of the classes that I have decided to take to fulfill my IP requirements, "Folklore and Religion". Sounds like it's right up my bowling lane. I'm excited to see what stories are covered in the curriculum. (You know how I like stories). I think it's funny that this year St. Pat's falls on a Friday and it is Lent-so for my Catholic family, and their ilk-the tradition of corned beef and cabbage butts heads (lol cabbage/head...wink wink, nudge, nudge) with the tradition of not eating meat on Friday during Lent. As a vegetarian, this is never a problem for me, but I can see an unusual solution...anyone know where I can get Corned Tofu? I heard that they were relaxing the rule for tradition's sake, and people could eat meat this Friday without having to say Hail Mary's while kneeling on dried peas or being exiled to Crete (which doesn't seem that bad these days.) You'd think this had happened once or twice before and there would be definitive church doctrines written on the subject. Maybe that's covered in the Dead Sea Scrolls...I'm no autistic savant, but it seems that this phenomena should happen every so many years. Thought for the day: If you were an autistic savant, what would your special talent be?
