Alas no festivus Bush to show

YET....

Simply can't be snaggered putting up the bush but will need to get organised so I can share with fellow SPF bush showererofferers.

I have even thought about putting some lights in the front window ths year - have threatened to for years but never actually did anything...

WARNING - the following is a very long sentence that is bamboozling and very philosophical and if there are any philosophers wish to discuss it I am not at home... 'tis just where my mind went... I don' think I shall ever find it again ...

I have been doing prep for the parenting workshop I will be teaching tomorrow night and it is all about Love Languages and how our children are different now and as I wrote and pondered I wondered if the children really are different at all or if it is indeed us who is different and what would the difference be if there were a difference anyway and is it actually the physical world that is different resulting in different children or different adults treating children differently which of course results in different children.

Riddle me that Goddess!


Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo (picture hand up and jumping out of seat with excitement motion)

I went to my Slimmers Group tonight and eventhough I have been on ickky cortisone for over a week I actually surrendered weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM SO EXCITED and VERY VERY pleased with my gorgous ample self for being so wonderful! I have surrendered 2.7 kilos in the last 3 weeks woohoo for my wonderful body for letting it go!

I am President of the local Slimmers Club - I have this habit of going to join things and ending up running them... and NOOOOO that is not an open invitation to get Karen along knowing she will jump in and handle everything because that is what she does so well... I am onto me! I sprung myself on that one and have been practicing saying - ever so politely - No. And when Yes just slips out before I have had time to catch it, I am practicing waiting an appropriate few minutes or hours and then saying "I have thunked about it/checked my schedule/need to wash my hair/ have to take the cat to the vet etc (pick any one) and I am sorry but I cannot do what I said I would."

'Tis truly amazing I tell you!!!!!!! People just say - "Oh, Okay!" the world does not end when I say no, the floor does not open up and swallow me and people do not run away screaming - I wish I had known this years ago.

You know what - I love the way - in a blog - just like a good conversation really - that stuff just comes out and you never had even thought about writing it but alas there it is anyway.

Faskinating...

Latest beadey project is coming along - need to put finishing touches on the pattern...

Would anyone be interested in some beautiful beaded voluptuous mermaid lady things... will bead one and post a pic... they are so beautiful... but I want to modify the pattern so they are Goddesses not just mermaids - not that there is anything wrong with Mermaids mind you - I know a few and they are lovely Goddesses but I relate better when they have legs instead of fins!

Did you know I didn't even come here to blog tonight...

Love you all!
