SmartBoxes- aka pods- didn't show up until 3pm. So much for a morning delivery :(
This puts us about 6 hours behind schedule.
We still got one of the two completely filled.

Your Daily Tarot

Today's Card- The Six of Swords card suggests that my power today lies in transition. I have what I need and am willing to trust the process order to move on, seek refuge or new opportunity. I'm not willing to remain where my perceptions are invalidated by being vulnerable I must rely on guidance to move in a new direction or trust that I can make it or be led to security and new hope. 'Wherever you go, there you are.' I am empowered by perseverance and my virtue is survival.

Last Two Tarots

2008-09-01T13:37:26Z

Eerie and accurate:

Sunday:
Your Daily Tarot

Today's Card- The Eight of Chalices card suggests that my power today lies in space. I am true to myself and will only regret the chances I don't take to seek or follow my hearts desire. I turn away from or make a clean sweep of that which does not honor or sustain my passion and love, and in this, I am not afraid to be alone. I am empowered to move forward or make space and my gift is letting go.

Monday:
Your Daily Tarot

Today's Card-The Five of Chalices card suggests that my power today lies in a crossroads. I am not alone. I intend to let go of despair or nostalgia and I choose to make peace with loss or express mourning in order to move forward. I release the rut of regret and the fear of tomorrow to make way for forgiveness, pleasure, beauty, and hope. I am empowered by my conscience and my gift is forgiveness.

Selling off more stuff:

I really had to wrestle with my need to keep this and the need to not have a ton of stuff to move:
http://denver.craigslist.org/fuo/816494903.html

I was going to refinish it- replace the hardware- perhaps put glass in the door to the cubby...

Oh well- my loss- someone's win

The sound of Gidget's tongue licking the bubblewrap is like nails on a chalkboard.
Why on Earth she likes to like plastic is beyond me!! Do your kitties do this?

Moving means...cleaning out the cupboards and making all sorts of strange meals.
It also means- I made muffins.
and lavender bath bombs...

Childhood Pictures

2008-08-26T14:34:37Z

The last time I was in WY, I got a stack of old pictures from my mother. I've been scanning them and cleaning them up.
I created a gallery in my scrapbook if you wanna look.

Raku

2008-08-26T13:25:31Z

Saturday was also my last raku day. The weather was perfect- the light wind, the clouds..the not being 100+ degrees out. I finished the order for 25 fortune cookies and had great luck with the raku pendants- I'll be listing them in my etsy store this week if you want to see/buy them.

The End is Nigh

2008-08-26T11:42:37Z

Well- the countdown has begun...
One week from today is the big pack the pods day. We leave on the 3rd...
It has been over 12 years since I have had a major move- and even then- it was just from Casper to Denver- a 4 hours jaunt. Nothing as major as this move to Seattle.

Friday, I went out to Disintegration for the first time in a long time. It felt odd...there I was at a very familiar place but without too many familiar people. I knew 2-3 and recognized less than 10...
It was nice to see paisli and to meet beerkitty
Made me wish I were more social and friendly. It took me back to the days when I would go out and know 90% of the people. It made me nostalgic for the silly crushes and flirtations that I use to have- Paul, JW, etc...
I wish I had been more assertive... *sigh*

Saturday- there was the going away drinks at Double Daughters- which is one of the places I will miss- I feel really comfortable there. Thanks to everyone who came out! It was fun to watch my work friends and my life friends interact. I drank way too much!

Sunday- my last day at work- except for a presentation at the Taste of Colorado on Monday. I tried to just treat it like any other day- but the hugs lead to tears way too often. I'm a cryer. Around 3- I hid in the back to clean up my files and desk. Ryan- my team leader- came in around 3:30- we hugged, we cried and I snuck out the back....

Expect lots of posts and brain dumps this week. I'm at home- packing and sorting. I have so much stuff in my head....

Daily Tarot

2008-08-22T15:20:41Z

The Three of Wands card suggests that my power today lies in opportunity. I lay it on the line, take a chance, and look for signs of positive encouragement. I am open to new worlds and am actively patient in expanding my connection, increasing my standing, or waiting for my "ship to come in," but "if I can't get to the party, I will bring the party to me." I am empowered by a sense of responsibility and a readiness to believe and receive and I transform through creative resourcefulness.

If- for whatever reason- you have an issue with me...I'd prefer you tell me rather than just ignore me or say you are going to call and then not.

Question

2008-08-04T23:36:54Z

Can anyone out there recommend someone to make 4 new cushions for our rv?
Nothing fancy- just 4 rectangles of foam, covered in something inexpensive and durable....and hopefully not too hideous.
Haven't seen any ads on Craigslist.

the move

2008-07-28T00:21:36Z

It gets more real every day...
Today we purchased this:

I'm getting excited and scared and all sorts of crazy.
But at this point- I really feel so isolated and alone here that I realize there's very little holding me here- I have so few friends and the ones I do have are as antisocial as me and I don't get to see them often enough.

Happy Making

I have started sorting and tossing things- getting ready to box stuff for the move.
We plan on buying a motorhome- easy way to move the cats and if we don't get a place within the first week- no problem. There are tons of motorhomes for sale on craigslist- I've been dreaming about them a lot too.
I'm still in shock over the rent prices.

I love this place:

I bounce between excited and scared.
