Glorious weekends

My friend JL and I decided that this weekend was two days too short.

We're greedy, it turns out. For more..sunshine, yard time, relaxation time non-work time.

I looked at my To Do list..and accomplished many, but not all of the items I'd listed. But that's pretty typical for a To Do list. I feel ok about the weekend.

Got one run in. The new shoes rock. Love them.

Almost meditated once, but then my cell phone rang when Hubby called in to report on how the tax return had finalized. (It was good news, but then my mind kind of wandered so getting back to the centered place was harder than I'd anticipated so I gave up for then.)

Went shopping with Daughter, searched for the perfect shoes to go with Prom dress, but didn't find anything..but found some athletic wear on sale that we can use, so that was good..and had a good time just shopping and talking about whatever surfaced. It was nice..I love hanging out with her. I'm going to miss her, I just know it's going to be rough when she heads out.

Cleaned some, but didn't bake cookies. Which may be good because there's been a lot of candy around the house due to the Easter Bunny's recent visit, and a break from sweets would be good for waistlines.

Moved warm weather clothes into my closet; cold weather clothes into Son's closet. Actually jettisoned some items, an overdue act as I mentioned before.

Spent time on the patio enjoying how the yard is coming along. Hubby is planting and moving things around and generally tidying up the patio space and making things absolutely lovely out there. There's nothing nicer than spending a little time in the evening relaxing with the birds chirping, the smell of rosemary and fresh earth and cherry blossoms and apple blossoms and sundry organic odors drifting by. Makes ending a day of stress and frenzy a joy.

Watched a couple of movies. Again. Bull Durham (I know. I'm so retro, but I have to say it makes me chuckle and in spite of my having seen it at least 100 times, I still notice something new each time. AND, some of what I believe to be my best lines have come from it.) Under the Tuscan Sun. (Always makes me want to grow a pair and just write my book once and for all. Of course in my fantasy the book actually gets printed, and lots of people decide they like it, so I make enough money to relocate somewhere fabulous and low key and beautiful and much, much, slower paced than this rat race that constantly demands more..focus, energy, performance..just to survive. I'm tiring of the hamster wheel....what can I say?)

So, in all, the weekend was fabulous. But now I want another one.

Is that selfish of me?

It's been a minute

Oh, what a summer it's been! Heat, the likes of which we have never seen seems to be enveloping the planet. They told us this would happen, and it is.  Now what? Is it time to think underground bunkers? To really explore moon colonies? To continue, on an individual basis to do what we feel we can to help the greater effort? We bought a hybrid two years ago. We'll probably buy an electric car once we feel like the infrastructure is in place, but right now, it's not.  We recycle. Glass ( WHO is drinking all of that wine?! I ask myself each time I toss the bottles into the big bin.). Food. We compost all but animal products, and use it in the garden.  Cardboard/cans/plastics go in the recycle bin each Tuesday. My husband thinks the whole recycle thing is a big scam, and that all of the recycling and trash gets taken to the same place - the dump - because there isn't adequate staffing to sort and really carry out the recycle process.  I feel this is a cynical view, but ...

It might have been the moon

 The second Super Moon, also a Harvest Moon, just happened. On the same night I had my mini-meltdown. (see prior post). I've talked with several friends who reported intense emotions, mostly around stuff that needs to be released, resolved. When I think about my angst, and how intense it felt, I realize it was all about that kind of stuff. Old stuff, patterns, thinking, habits. So maybe the moon precipitated things. The bubbling up of angst and anger and icky stuff lasted all that night, but had calmed by yesterday morning. Thank gawd, because that was a morass of darkness, the likes of which I haven't experienced in at least a decade. The rest of the weekend has been pleasant. Uneventful. Full of errands, chores, a really nice walk this morning, yummy food, naps, etc. The one thing about energy that feels constant is that no mood lasts forever. Energy continually shifts and morphs, like the Universe knows too much, too long, of any one sentiment just isn't a good idea for ...

Practical glamour

This week, well, is gonna be a humdinger. Why? 1. Trade show. In Vegas. 2. Road trip for fam, but not me because, see #1. 3. Planning 4. Packing 5. Work deliverables. Really. In a week of a trade show. Right?  And, true to form, my Inner Goddess decides to run the fashion show so instead of being satisfied with black capris and my logo polos at the show? I'm going to wear grownup clothes. And hopefully feel like a grownup. With maybe a little style. Outfits for show include: 1. Little black dress, metallic black and gold reptile (distressed) leather sandals with medium heel, pounded gold jewelry. 2.Black and white sleeveless dress with a rounded neck and a form fit. Wearing emerald earrings with that. And cute but comfy low heeled black sandals.  3. Chiffon-y soft toned sleeveless blouse (with a large rose print that looks surprisingly pretty) with scoopy neck, black capris, black platform Bass sandals and big silver loop earrings. Other outfits to ta...
