Just now crawling out of bed. Had a tad bit too much fun last night. Must take my glucosamine- the left knee is super angry from dancing last night and sleeping in a strange position.
I think I'll take it easy and get caught up on stuff I have been neglecting.

Driving home from work last night, I was behind a car that had one of those "Caution- car will be un-maned when the Rapture comes" or some such BS.
This made me think about the Rapture. I wonder what it would feel like- a warm, happy glow? All tingly like electricity? Pins and needles? Pain? The best orgasm you've ever had? Will you hear music? If so- what? Will there be a flash of light?

The weather the past few days has been so wonderful! This is part of the reason I moved to Seattle. I enjoy a chill in the air, a damp breeze and an excuse to wear a cute sweater. There has even been a bit of thunder- I DO miss the huge thunder and lightening storms that we had back in Denver. I do not miss the extreme heat and ozone alerts all summer long.

On my way to work this morning, I heard a song that I hadn't heard in years- 3 Days by Jane's Addiction. WOW- I forgot how much I loved that song/album.

Last Wednesday night, I wrote down some ideas to finish out some boxes that I am in the middle of and a ton of ideas for new ones. I think I'll spend some time working through those notes and ideas and maybe even get something new in my Etsy shop this week. Someone included one of my pieces in a treasury last week and I was going to post a link to it but never got around to it- it has expired.... But it does show that people are still looking.

I'm looking at this coming week's schedule and have no idea why I am OBR- off by request on Thursday the 16th. I have no plans that day...is there something going on that I forgot about?

Taking notes
Your mind will be very stimulated today. You are fascinated by every new phenomenon that you encounter and eager for more. If you are relatively flexible, this need for excitement means that you may get bored more easily than usual. If you are not flexible, this could be a very nerve-wrecking day, full of little surprises and upsets that overtax your nerves. The plans you have made for the day may not work out at all, and the more you are counting on precisely one set of conditions to be fulfilled, the more upsetting this influence will be. Either way, the day's tempo will be brisk. Thoughts will flash through your head at such an amazing speed that it will be difficult to keep track of them. Perhaps you should keep a tape recorder handy in order to record your ideas before they disappear.

Mentally active
This will be a mentally active day for you, because ideas and communications will come at you very quickly, and you will have to understand not only the surface communication but also the underlying meaning. In talking with others, be particularly aware of any hints they may drop about their motivations. This influence tends to produce interactions with others that test the clarity of your thinking and force you to prove the validity of what you say. You certainly will not consider this a boring day. Unless your thinking and communications are very poorly thought out, you should be able to accomplish whatever you set out to. But there is also the possibility of arousing opposition to your purposes and ideas that could become very intense later on. That is why it is important to listen as well as to put forth your ideas.

I could have been more extravagant but these are these were the first things that came to mind..

Off work early!!
Heading to : http://www.bellaumbrella.com/
to rent an umbrella for pride tomorrow- don't want to get any sun :)

Have I mentioned how much I love fresh fruit this time of year? Well- I do! Stone fruit makes me happy- bring on the peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, pluots and cherries! I stopped by Top Banana fruit/veggie stand and scored a bag of yummy fruity goodness for under $5! There is also something so sensual about eating fresh, juicy, ripe, luscious fruit.

So- I'm going to spend my Friday evening eating fruit and finishing out True Blood. Exciting as always.

Strengthen the soul
Almost everyone feels in one way or another unsure of themselves, vulnerable or inferior with regard to their bodies. Today's influence disturbs just this feeling of yours, but not painfully - rather this is noticeable as a yearning to be accepted with all your hurts, to find understanding and love - and thus also healing and relief. You are now far more aware of your own sensitivities, so that you are also in a position to be more considerate to yourself. If you do something good for your body today - for example, have a massage or visit a sauna - it will also strengthen your soul. Poetic and romantic music have a pronounced effect on you at this time.

Got it! I am officially to cheese specialist and got a raise!!
It was the only time I've ever gone for a job and only had a one person interview "panel".
My TL already had the offer paperwork filled out :)
Yes- I like my cheesy job even if it will never allow me to be rich and live a life of leisure.

Indirect support
This is an excellent time for all matters concerned with your domestic, personal and emotional life. Relationships work out far better than on other days, because you are imbued with a strong desire to be warm and friendly to everyone you meet. Others can sense the sincerity of your feelings and will respond in kind. Relations with women should be especially favorable during this time. Sexual relationships are strongly supported by this influence, not by directly increasing the sex drive, but by indirectly increasing the strength of love within the relationship. The emotions are quiet, not turbulent, and this is a good time for you and a loved one to be alone together quietly.

activity period from 14 June 2009 to 18 June 2009

A fighting spirit
During this time you will experience life with greater emotional intensity than usual. You will feel everything more strongly and deeply. You will want every experience that you encounter to touch your feelings, and they probably will. Your relationships will be more intense, and you will seek out those that allow you to experience yourself very vividly. Although this influence does not make you feel violently aggressive, you will not allow anyone to step on your toes. You make it very clear to others exactly where their limits are in dealing with you, and you will not let them transgress those limits. You are in a fighting spirit in the positive sense, in that you will stand up for what you believe but still be reasonably tolerant of other people's ideas.

Decided to stop in @ Value Village on 15th and I found...
Not 1- but 2!!
Stop Staring dresses- new with tags! I couldn't pass them up- they may not fit me or be my style- but I have retro girlie friends or there is always Ebay!

Also went to a little place called Zenith Supply and got some yummy smelling oils to make the bombs of bathiness!

And comics!! Which means there will be comics and iced coffee time this afternoon.

Wait until 10am and walk over to the rummage sale @ the Ballard Senior Center. Who knows what sort of goodies the old-folks might have...
Laundry
Vacuum
Shop for food supplies
Comics!
Twice Told Tales- to trade huge sack full of books
I'm thinking Indian for lunch...just not sure where and who'll join me(?)
Perhaps- Sunshine Cleaning @ the Varsity either 2:45pm or 4:45pm
I want to check out Artist & Craftsman Supply.
I may get crafty later today.
I keep promising bath bombs- so I really should whip up a batch.

I love the following passage from the book I am reading. I can now explain some of the way I feel on a day to day basis as "tidal"- it works- it really, really works.


"A reduction of image to the essence of what made a woman different....It was the smell of them. The way they were scented- it was their brine...the reason women cried so readily was they were too full of saltwater, like the sea...."

I could have used this earlier in the week- it's cooled off a lot since Monday.

Ahhhh- it's cooling down!!
I've never been so happy about wind before.
I'm gonna sleep like a dead baby on a log tonight ;P

Back from haircut goodness. After consulting the professional- we decided not to go so extreme with the shaving- just did the nape and tapered it up a bit. Feels light and cool. Looks pretty darn cute. I am pleased. Got brows waxed as well :0
