I just got an email from Portland State University - my application was accepted for the program. It wasn't super competitive, but I was still on pins and needles because I want to move there SO DAMNED BAD. I'm accepted!! I actually just teared up a little! Ah so sweet. I am OUTTA HERE!!!
Dream
Last night I had a dream that I had a baby boy named Aidan. I was at some kind of school reunion, but had to wait in a Catholic church because there wasn't enough room at the school. The church was ornate, with lots of stained glass and deep-colored velvet pews, but it had a … Continue reading Dream
Birthday #40
I walked into my office this morning to black balloons with bright pink ribbons, gift baskets with wine, and my entire office crew yelling "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" This is indescribably awesome since I'm not having a party. Made my day. And now I get to go shop for goodies to fill stockings for the homeless … Continue reading Birthday #40
Right, So…
The last month and a half or so has been madness, mostly sourced in work, but also in finding grad school and a new city of residence, starting in June. That city had been slated to be Seattle, but the folks at Antioch University weren't super responsive to anything, the job situation wasn't looking good … Continue reading Right, So…
Ariadne
I think it's time to do some work with Ariadne. Who better to lead me out of the labyrinth I'm currently lost in? I suppose I have to go to the center first, to face the minotaur and then move on. I'm going to set up an altar tonight.
Good News, Bad Body
I'm sick today. Something going down with my tum, and I have to blame Gab since she's had it since Monday. I'm at work anyway, going to do my school in Quartzsite before I go home to bed. But that's not what I'm going to write about today. I finally had "the talk" with my … Continue reading Good News, Bad Body
Seriously?!
When you get in bed with social conservatives in this country, you better be comfortable with the fact that your rewards are commensurate with being part of the "right" group... and that the "right" group is not guaranteed to be YOUR group. In other words, if you are Pagan and support the Tea Party or … Continue reading Seriously?!
Yes, I AM Going to Write – Sorry Loser Voice, You Don’t Win Today
This morning I'm feeling full of vent-y things, which I shall try not to let color this post. At least not too much. I'm out of sorts generally, and I'm thinking that the soreness in my breasts plus the date equals some PMS. Also, insomnia raised its ugly little head again last night, defying my … Continue reading Yes, I AM Going to Write – Sorry Loser Voice, You Don’t Win Today
Sound the Foghorn (aka, coffee…)!!
I went to my brother's 33rd birthday party last night. It was supposed to be a surprise party, but apparently he knew about it. The party coincided with B coming into town, so I drug him along with me. Jeff went for a short while, but he had to work this morning, so he checked … Continue reading Sound the Foghorn (aka, coffee…)!!
Leave the Outcome to the Gods
I have a belief, maybe a superstition, particularly if you define superstition in the learning psych way - a behavior that's hard to change because it is randomly awarded. When I tell someone I want to do something, and they wind up to pitch all the reasons why it's too hard, that they couldn't do … Continue reading Leave the Outcome to the Gods
