Business Cards?

Just doodling around today. Do any of my troupe mates want one designed with our troupe logo? Send me a photo. :)

Tagging - a bit different, from Hadara

This one is different and interesting:-)

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

I grabbed, the "Price Guide to the Occult," from 1967

"469. Bellamy, H.S. -- The Atlantis Myth. Lond., n.d. $4.00 (LAR-58), $2.00 (JAC-63)
470. --The Book of Reveltaion is History. Lond., 1942. $3.00 (LAR-58), $2.00 (JAC-63)
472. Bellegay, Michael M. --Man's Eternal Progress. N.Y., 1952. $2.00 (WEIS-66)"

Weird, there was no 471, just a blank line.

Snow in April

Monday it was in the 80s here. I was happily packing away the sweaters and digging out the cute short skirts and jean shorts.

And today, this happened!!

My beautiful lilacs, all covered in snow!

Some Days....

Some days I just need to scream.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!


Thank you. I feel better now.

That shopping high..

I have the best shopping high! I just got home from the thrift store where I found hand embroidered gallabiyas for $14.99/each!!!!! They are absolutely gorgeous, and they are large!!!!!! They had sari blouses and matching skirts in satin too, along with head scarves. The original tags were all in Hindi. I can't believe it!!!

I was so excited while I was standing in line to pay for them, that the cashier politely told me where the rest room was! I nearly danced out of the store!!!!!!!!!

For some reason

I have insufficient privledges to post a comment to my last blog. Hmm, how odd.

Anyways, even though a tassel whacking and a veil snapping are very tempting I don't think it would make a difference. This is also not in the belly dance community, and I might look odd with a veil.

I think I will just collect the things I have loaned this person and make a quiet unobtrusive exit from their life.

Argg

Argg again. Why can't people just shut their mouths some days?? You tell someone you think is a good friend something in confidence. You let your feelings show, and get emotional, and when it is all over you thank them for the help and the shoulder to cry on. And then the next night they are out blabbing to the town all about what happened!!!

Arggg for the third time.

Better!

I am back to normal, or at least the way I used to be. My vision is back, I don't need glasses again. I am not getting light headed and fainting, and I even walked a mile and a half today. :)

I can drive again, and have consequently jumped back into the grind. Spent all day today, and will probably spend half of tommorow fixing the car (I was doing that Tuesday and Wednesday last week, before the 'event'). Finally figured out it is just an old battery, alternator is fine and everything else is fine. However, the garage at my dealership wanted $140 for the battery and labor to put it in. Screw that dude. I can buy the same battery for $50 at Sam's and they do free installation.

I don't really want to, but I should learn how to put a battery in the van. This is the first vehicle I have owned with a side mount battery, and I am not thrilled about working on it. It is one of those engines where you can only reach half of what you need, and that only from the bottom. I love the interior room, and space for the kids, and the stuff, but oh how I miss my old boats.

Slowly getting better

I just got back from my follow up with my regular doc. She is sure I am over all of the stuff dealing with the pennyroyal. But I am still feeling miserable. She thinks I caught something else, either during or before the rest of the mess. So they are doing more tests, looking for more stuff and telling me to rest.

I still have a hard time reading without my glasses, and can't walk very well because I have no sense of balance. But, I am improving. I need to get back to me soon, at least to where I can drive again. My poor husband is really stressing out about the work he is missing taking care of the kids.
