Hello Darlinks
Mood:

Now Playing: All Right Now-(I Forget Who Sings It!)
Topic: A-OK
I should be headed for the pillow, but I wanted to share my elation at the fact that I have my second response paper for the good Dr. Stotts FINISHED ahead of schedule, and while all of the freaking out I did last week resulted in a bit more essay than was required, I got all of the points that were possible to get on the first assignment!!! Now that I have the procedure down, I was able to cut my effort in half (or more) compared to the first one. (Thank the Great Amoeba, because I don't think I could have done 5 more if they were all like that!) Is it possible that I was making a mountain out of a molehill last week? Well, I am a Capricorn, and we DO like to overcome a good obstacle, but I am taking this very seriously! I want a 4.0 for the semester! I know I can! For those of you who are hanging in there, waiting for my intermittent asto-blurbs, I have an exciting week in the stars to report to you! The new moon is in Taurus this Thursday the 27th (my daddy's birthday) and it highlights career evaluation. As you well know, I am in a constant state of this, and am doing everything in my power to honor the universe by constantly working to improve myself. (God helps those who help themselves... WOOHOO-HELP ME!!!) You might find yourself asking whether you are really fulfilling your true heart's desire. Go ahead-make it happen! (If I can do it...) On the 29th, (just in time for Sat. Mkt) the Sun sextiles Mars and Mercury Sextiles Neptune. This is the ONE, TWO PUNCH when it comes to dreaming big and then acting on it! Mercury communicates with Neptune to create a dreamy fantasy like state where we can come up with some of our most inspirational thoughts. Then the Sun and Mars shine a light on the direction to take to DO IT!!! On the 30th Venus squares Pluto, and our love life is given a little nudge by the planet of rebirth. Everything old is new again. Be gentle with the ones you truly care about. (Include yourSELF!) Alright, if I don't get back here for a couple of days, I hope that gives you something to think about. Next time I hope to talk about Sana Krusoe, and how she is (hopefully) going to help me get the BFA degree that I had nearly given up hope for...(she stopped by and told me that the piece I have been working on for Gabe's class is "EXCITING"-woohoo-I am quivering with GLEEEEEEEE....) See you in the funny papers!!!

Topic: Spunky
Let's talk about you for a little bit- What's been going on in your life? Are you happy with it? What have you been doing to make your day better than yesterday? It seems that all that is asked of us is that we keep making our lives a little better every day. It is our choice to create what is in our lives-good and bad. Yes, random "stuff" happens to the best of us, but when you look back on your day, was it fruitful and productive? (Even if productive meant taking a much needed nap...(everything we need to know, we learned in Kindergarden!-Except I skipped Kindergarden...) Here in Eugene, Saturday Market in the AM. Supposed to be sunny and in the 60's tomorrow (and 70's SUNDAY!!) We definately deserve it for sitting through last week!!! Mmmmmmm...I can feel the shorts and skirts making their way to the front of the closet...The folks of Eugene will be needin' a nice hairwrap to complete their ensemble...and I know where to get one!!! (or more!) Quick school update, I got 21 out of 20 on my math quiz..(one extra credit point) I actually missed one lousy point because I didn't "show my work" on a problem (but I got it right-so I obviously knew what I was doing-DUH!) Meanwhile, I was working on a piece in ceramics. I have been carving on it for days, and I still didn't get it completed, but it is really going to be worth the time and effort. I hope Gabriel (my instructor) gives me some leniency on the completion date, because I am taking like a week longer than I was supposed to!!!! I was carving these creatures that began a long time ago-(On a Magic Bus-Far-Far Away!)and the piece has quite a bit of surface area to cover...sigh-I can't just do things the easy way-the assignment was to make a head-nothing fancy...If you want to get right down to it-with everything going on in my brain at this point in time, I am not surprised that my project is so complex! I am actually pretty excited about it, and have been thinking that maybe I might buy a small kiln with some of my grant money-There is a reason that it keeps coming up in my life. Still wondering what the good Dr. Stotts is going to think of my response paper. I haven't even gone back to read what I wrote because I am afraid I will pick it apart and trip out about it. I'll know on Monday! For now, I've got an appointment with the sandman... G'ni-ni...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Hey Now, My little Mandala-FLites, I have less than zero time to do this, but I wanted to say hi, and tell you that today here in Eugene (Hippie Central) is a film about Hippies saving the Earth (7:30pm-the McDonald Theater) and this weekend is Earth Day (if you weren't already informed) so prepare to do something nice for Our Mother-won't you? This week has been a challenge, as I had to do a formal response essay for my Global Feminism class and let's just say-it is something I have never really had to do, for a Professer who is REALLY on top of it, and a subject that we have covered an AMAZING amount of material on. I actually had a full on PANIC attack-complete with flashbacks and realizations of fears that I have developed over the course of my free-form life about authority figures, and strong female role models (or the lack thereof...), and what the hell am I trying to accomplish with a lousy B.S. (really) degree, and the whole pity party ball-o-wax!!! ...and then-in it's Magical Universe kind of way-as I am making my way out of the EMU (Student Union) behind my bookbag and some napkins for my weepy eyes...I walked out the doors into the courtyard where they happened to be playing music...to hear..."No Woman, No Cry...Everything Gonna Be Alright..." Yes folks B is for BOB...Thanks Great Amoeba!!! I get my paper back on Monday...(nail-bite...) HAVE MERCY DR. STOTT!!!

Topic: Happy Easter
Welcome to the Easter Installment of "OH MY GOD, I AM SOOOOO BUSY!!!" Hope your Easter was pleasant! Mine sure was. I apologise for not keeping my loyal readership up to date with the astro-reports, I can barely keep up with my daily newspaper horoscope right now! I have also been having some EXTREMELY vivid dreams that I know you would have fun with, but I haven't been able to sit down long enough to share them! Suffice to say-Dreams are WIERD!!! Feel free to tell me some of yours! A quick look at the cosmos tells me that Friday there were 6 of the 10 major planets in WATER signs. Not only does this make for an emotional day, but also makes for issues with water-maybe that is one of the reasons for the SATURDAY MARKET SHOWERS that kept the vendors that did show up (like me...) clinging to the rafters of our booths in an effort to keep them from blowing away in the wind, or becoming a part of the Willamette River! Seriously, less than half of the reserve vendors actually showed up in the morning, and a good portion of those that did, ended up taking down their booths before noon as winds gusted and tested the riggings of our makeshift village. I am one of the lucky ones...not only is my booth good and heavy, it faces East, with it's Southwest corner to the wind. In addition, I am backed by a sweet little (inscence pine?) tree that proved to be a barrier to the bluster! (Great Feng Shui:)) The first Saturday that we set up, I noticed that one of it's branches was pushing at the back of the booth, and I let it in through the top of my tarp. One of the other vendors said that I could have the city trim it so that it wouldn't be in my way. I told them that the tree was there first, and I was happy to let it have it's space...I am even more happy now. Looks like I have a Happy Tree Friend! I LOVE my reserve space!!! Tomorrow starts week three of my Degree Quest. It is going really quickly, and I am loving it-even though, (or maybe because!) I am on a tight schedule and taking in more new information than I thought possible. My schedule allows me to still volunteer at South Tuesdays and Thursdays, have ceramic studio time form 11-6 on Tuesdays, 10-6 on Thursdays, and 9-2 on Fridays. I can be home by 4 on Mondays and Wednesdays, and 6:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays! I have time built in to do my homework, and I have been able to add at least one improvement to my Saturday Market Booth each week so far!!! I am amazed at the amount of productivity I have been capable of! I am certain that my FABULOUS NIA excersize class on Sunday Afternoons helps reset my clock for the week!!! We have taken to calling it the Church of NIA!!! HALLELUJAH! This week the moon starts out in Sagittarius, and if you are struck by inspiration, RUN WITH IT!!! The moon hops into Capricorn on Tuesday, and that means get down to business...Somewhere around Thursday it is in Aquarius, and by Saturday, which is "Earth Day" (when I will be hanging out with my tree friend...) it will be in Pisces-which is the Dreamiest of all of the zodiac signs. Maybe we can dream up a good way to get our administration to make friends with a tree or two!!! (GEORGE WASHINGTON GREW HEMP!!! We should too!!!) Hope to see you all soon!!!

Topic: BZZZZZZZT!!!
Before we get into the nitty gritty of the study duty, I have an exciting new professional development! I have been included in Clare Goodwin's Mandala Page, which is described as "an exploration of the mandala as a tool for growth and the discovery of the self. It includes an extensive guide to mandala resources in print and on the world wide web."!!! It is a fantastic resource for mandala artists, and I am honored to have been included!-Check it out! I am listed under contemporary mandala artists (alphabetically-under Crisanti)Enjoy! There are so many great artists out there! - Claire Goodwin's Mandala Page p.s. my bestest friend is on there too---She's Gina De Francesco! Meanwhile things are just Ducky at the U of O. I had a dream last night where I was factoring equations, which is something I have been struggling with in the waking hours. Hopefully it is my higher self waking up the hamster... I also dreamt that I was asked to work a shift at a restaurant, to help them out on a really busy day---which is an examination of having been asked to be the "service bartender" for the "Buncha-Bull"-on the infamous "Cuervo De Mayo-Drunkfest". I passed in the dream AND in real life as well. Sorry to the Hombre's De La Casa... (I might make some cash, but I would lose a piece of my soul! Besides it is on Friday and I have school and then Saturday Market the next day-what is more important?-hmmmm!) In the dream it was the person who asked me in real life, but it was the restaurant I put myself through college on the first time...almost 20 years ago! There were people from both places, and there I was getting ready to pick up a shift-BUT THEN-lo and behold-I STOPPED MYSELF-I took off the uniform, and told them I was sorry, but I just couldn't do it! I got in the car with Babboo and T-Bone and left the Restaurant one dish short of a full course...and drove off into the sunset to fulfill my DESTINY!!! There is hope for me yet! Thought for the day: Would you like "papas" with that?

Now Playing: Patty Cake
Topic: Day of Rest
It is the end of a long weekend. I have been so intensely productive this week, that I think that I somehow must have created an extra 24 hours within the framework of it in order to accomplish all that I got done-YAY!!! Market was a little wet yesterday, we got downpoured on for about the last hour and a half, but the rest of the day was pretty reasonable for Spring in the Pacific Northwest. I did some really sweet hairwraps, and made a couple of nice additions to the booth that seemed to work out in my favor. I am still waiting for my cards from the print shop, and I am trying to fit a visit to my advisor at the micro-business center into a very full Monday or Tuesday-SIGH. I have been having a lot of vivid dreams the last couple of nights, and this morning there was one that stuck with me. I was in a lecture hall, there were a few people, no desks or anything but a podium and chalkboards and stuff. I kept noticing the time, one of those big clocks that all schools have. In the lower right hand corner of the room there was a sheep, and when I went to it, I saw that it had two lambs. I sat down next to it and started petting them, and picked one up and had it in my lap. I was holding it, and petting it the way that I do my dog, and I felt this overwhelming love for it. It was so clear, that I swear I could feel it's soft fur, and it's warmth. When I woke up I kept thinking it was the "Lamb of God". I looked in my dream book, and it basically said the same thing. I am apparently feeling the love for the Christ consciousness-how appropriate for Palm Sunday-huh! (Think someone is trying to tell me something?) I hope I can be ready to accept the love back! On that note, I am realizing that I have a couple of things to read for tomorrow's Global Feminism class, and I know that my teacher is not going to go easy on us, so I'd better get to bed... Thought for the day: Feel the Love!!!

Topic: 9 More Weeks
Well Darlings, The planet Saturn went direct on the 5th and that means the tasks that you have been putting off for the last few months while it was retrograde are going to get a burst of fresh energy. The next couple of weeks will be ramping up for getting our to-do lists to-done. Saturn is gliding through Leo which has a way of focusing on the self, and helps to lighten up the "Old Man" of the Zodiac (Saturn is Father Time). For me, the responsibilities are obvious (and MANY!). I made it through the first week of classes, and can't believe the incredible amount of things I accomplished within the framework of my schedule! I managed to find a math that is less of a challenge than 111 was going to be-let's face it, why struggle with a class that has little or no bearing on my future, when a 107 completes the courses I have already had (105,106!). I was trying to add it in the first place, but there were no open sections. Thankfully someone dropped it, and I was persistent (desperate!) enough to keep checking the "DUCKWEB"! I have noticed three repeating themes this week: 1. Scotland 2. Eating Clay 3. 7's I have no idea why these things have been coming up ALL OVER my week, but it was enough to trigger the pattern center in my brain. Guess I'll ask the Dream Police if they have any leads on this case- Thought for the night: You don't have to try the hardest to succeed, you just have to keep trying until you do! Nitey-Night!

Topic: Factoring
OH, Hey-thought I forgot about you? Not so! I have just filled up my last few days with SO MUCH NEW INFORMATION, I can hardly see straight! I have 4 classes 1. Geology 103: The Evolving Earth-"Plant's and Bird's Fossils in Rock's and Things." 2. Feminist Global Studies: "Burka Busters" 3. Math 111: College Algebra: "The ABC's of 123's." 4. Figurative Ceramics: "Making Faces" I have a pretty functional schedule, and I don't have to work a "REAL JOB", and the first week out of ten is 1/2 over. (One divided by 2 is not even close to 10!)-[practicing my factoring and stuff]. Geology is going to be a breeze, Figurative Ceramics is my reason for being here in the first place. I have been conducting Women's Studies all of my life (but not like a man does...)it's going to involve a few papers and some essay questions, but I think I can probably get by. Then there is MATH-WOW! I am challenged by not only the class, but the graphing calculator that didn't even exist in schools when I was taking this level of math last..! YIKES-Thankfully, for now, it's the same math Thing One is learning in High School, and we can do our homework together (at least for now-while we are in "review") I keep telling myself that I am going to feel SO GOOD when my Math Hamster Wheel in my brain gets back up to full speed. I'll keep feeding her info until she is up and running...What's that squeaking noise? Forgive me if I'm a little more absent from BLOG Duty for a little while...don't worry-once I get the kind of "super-loopy" that studying this kind of math for a little while makes me, this will be more fun to read than EVER!!!

Topic: Garden of Fountain
You know-for all of you out there that have been reading this for a while and say she's making that up"-here's another edition of Cosmic Commedian humor to add to your list...(Y-FILES!) I have a long list of reasons why April Fools Day is special to me- First, it would be about the time I was concieved (do the math-9 mos. to Dec 31-give or take). My best friend's daughter was born that day, one of my fellow Michelles has her birthday then. There is that whole thing about meeting Mr.(W)right Good Fool's Friday, and then there is my Fuggling Jool...My sister met the man she married on April Fool's Day, and they decided to marry that day 7 years later...(If they want a divorce do they just have to say "April Fools"?)-You get the picture. Well, it happens to be Thing 2's girlfriend's birthday as well, and their "anniversary". Last night her parents dropped them off at a fancy restaurant and bought them dinner. Then they came over here. As Thing 2 was getting ready he was wishing he had gotten some flowers for her. I thought that maybe we had some in the yard, being spring and all so I went outside, but the only thing flowering was our Quince. It would have made a beautiful bouquet---last week. At this point there are as many dead blossoms as live-sigh...no flowers for Alex. This morning when I woke up, I noticed out my bedroom window, that the Quince had a mylar balloon tangled in the top of it, from a place unknown! We live right behind a popular trendy restaurant, it is possible that it made it's way over, or from a neighbor's yard...but the funny thing was that the balloon said "Happy Birthday"...so I showed it to Alex, and told her that it was her Cosmic Birthday Bouquet-manifested especially for her! (Thanks Cosmic Commedians-we do believe in Faeries!) This was TRULY a QUINCE-idence! This is why I MUST BE CAREFUL WHAT I WISH FOR- That goes for you too...Now what will it be this time!!!:)
