On the road again... to WORK!

Ah, yes... only the good die young, and only the weekends are short. But my! what we got packed into this last one, I tell ya! Sturday morning we were up bright and early so Spirit could make triple chocolate brownies for my company's fish fry later tha afternoon. I fed the babies in the meantime. Then off to Live Oak Civic Center in Universal City for the Texas Reptile Expo. Oh my, the sights we saw!! Only went in with $20 cash... I KNEW better! Ended up buying some food for the crix, a baby rat & a pinkie rat (no teeth, feeders for picky pythons) ... and collected some business cards from local area herp suppliers. And then, as we were walking out, heading to the fishfry...we saw a Uromastyx!! OMGoddess they are so cool! Love to be held. Adorable. Cute. You name it... we almost took one home, I swear!! Same feeding (except no crix) and same habitat and lighting requirements as our dragons. Like we need one more desert reptile, right? :-)

Sunday we awoke at a leisurely 9:30am, Spirit handled coffee whilst I fed the apparently starving dragons. Spoiled...they are used to being fed @ 6am. Sue me! Then general tidying up until it was time to get ready to go to town. Was the last book Goddess meeting for 2006. We'd read "The Crone" by Barbara Walker. Damn good book. Is a lighter read then "The Great Cosmic Mother" so more ppl can probably get through it. Then we went over the picks for 2007 and headed our seperate ways for the year...sigh. So, to lift our spirits, we shopped for 2 more hours in town, hitting various used book stores to seek out the 2007 selections. Homeward bound at last for lasagna w/ciabatta bread and some herbal tea, along with the last 2 episodes of "Vanished", then some MORE general tidying up. We are hosting Art Day this Saturday from 1-4pm, before heading over to Heather's for her 7pm Bday party. And the celebration of Mercury finally going direct!! Monday will be New Moon Circle (the 20th) so more tidying, mowing, etc will be required this ween in order to get ready. Such a busy weekend coming up, can't leave it until then.

What a life!! I love this one!! Now if we just had a Uromastyx...

And no, I DON'T think it is the 4th of July. .. I'm quite sure it is March 12th, 2011. My brain is not at all fried. In fact, between the Prasada @ Good Karma Cafe , the Acupuncture & Massage with Laureli and the Yoga with Adam , I am probably in the best health I have ever been! Stormed here a bit this week.. a coupla tornadoes , even, but we are fine, and dry. Storage pop-up in back yard made it through just peachy, as well. Spent yesterday making some cards.. got a tad over a dozen done, to add to the rest I have finished earlier in the week. Will put those for sale @ Good Karma Tuesday, and maybe at the Essential Herb Cottage as well. Been trying to create create create so I can sell some at the local weekend farmer's market as well as those 2 other locations. Alright, here is a card from this week...enjoy, and may your weekend be filled with blessings!

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................
