It's been a busy week, but we survived without Dave for four days and he's back from Wisconsin now. He even came back bearing gifts for me--incense and a brass sculpture of dancing Shiva. I love both of them. :-)

Our pagan group's ritual for Lammas is this weekend (as well as shaterri's birthday, so pet the foxtaur if you see him around. :-) ). I had a lot of stress last night trying to find something to wear for Saturday, but I think I finally acquitted myself, with a long plum-colored skirt that looks very light and airy. My friend L has a white, gauzy, see-through sort of shirt that I'm going to borrow and wear over a white camisole. I'm not sure about shoes yet--either I'll look for some pretty sandals or go barefoot. ( weight musings ahead, cut for potential triggers )

I've also made great strides in organizing the house, mostly by treating it as an opportunity for mindfulness/spiritual service. I need to get busy on it today though. Today I woke up cranky and tired, and I'm trying to rejuvenate myself in order to be a better parent/housekeeper/wife/friend etc. So far rejuvenation has been taking a little time to read the Gita, listening to new age music, and drinking tons of coffee. We'll see if it works.

movie meme from several on my fl

A. Pick 16 of your favorite movies.

E. Mark the quote once it has been correctly identified and place the guesser's user name directly after the quote.
