Last night I went out with D and her friend, who's visiting from out of town. I'm not so sure her friend appreciates that I'm going along for the ride during her visit with D, but they asked, and so I went. We spent the last part of the night talking about a former co-worker … Continue reading True Confessions

Yes, yesterday was spectacular, if by spectacular you mean "of the nature of a spectacle." I already outlined my loan officer woes, but really, there was so much more! There is the ever present reality that my husband promised I wouldn't have to go to work, that he would step up to the plate and … Continue reading Spectacular, Spectacular

Last night I did a tarot reading for someone who I believe has never had one. It was totally spur of the moment, and I essentially did a reading about her chakras because she didn't really have a particular "thing" she wanted to look into. It was uncanny how accurate the cards were for her. … Continue reading Uncanny Tarot

The universe is whapping me upside the head again. Like I haven't had enough of that this year. In the past seven days, two friends have asked to borrow fairly substantial amounts of money. About a month ago, I loaned a fair bit to my brother, who already owes us a few thousand dollars. I … Continue reading Growth Hurts

Live and let live. Good gods. One side is complaining because the other side thinks they have it right and vice versa. Can we just step back and realize that what works for you might not work for me and so on? Can we just recognize that there are other valid paths to the Divine? … Continue reading On “Fluffy Bunny Pagans” and “Serious” Pagans

So last night we decided that the quarterly celebrations, which are open to family, friends and congregants (though we don't have any congregants right now), must be held on weekends because we like to celebrate too much. Jeff had to get up for a flight this morning at 5 AM, and everyone else had to … Continue reading Autumn Equinox

TS and I went to the TAWN Fall Fest on Saturday, sold lots of Wild Women Soaps products, did a little shopping and a lot of people watching. We also met with Willow, who lives in Tucson and is a Reclaiming/Feri Witch from Portland, OR. She is interested in building a Reclaiming community here in … Continue reading Weekend Entertainment

Another entry about grief in my "every day" journal has spawned many comments. I have to admit to being at something of a loss about why this particular one touched so many people. I know it is well written, but I'm not so sure what sets it apart from some of the others. At any … Continue reading Reader Mysteries

Damn it -- my husband, who has some serious confidence issues and badly needs to get a career started at age 35, is turning in his application today to be a police recruit. I just found out that there is an automatic disqualifier if he's used marijuana at all in the past three years. He … Continue reading The Universe Strikes Again

Okay, I guess this will be my first "post that I couldn't post elsewhere"... My brother won a tv at his company picnic. He has two daughters -- one will turn one tomorrow and the other is three. Guess where the new tv is going? The three year old? Oh, heck no. She already has … Continue reading Too Much!
