Walking in the Park

"Found" a "new" park today. Apparently M suggested it a while back and I nixed it--can't figure out why--it's a great place. Nice trails, nice playgrounds, nice radio planes. It even had a climbable tree. Haven't been up a tree in way too long. Had forgotten how soothing it is to be in a tree just feeling the breeze and watching the leaves. Was a little worried that some "official" would come along to say that climbing trees wasn't allowed, but got lucky and got to enjoy. :-)

Yogurt Rice

Have been having fun in the kitchen--about the only place I've been having fun lately. I'm just a grouch. But I made this really yummy yogurt rice with cucumbers and tomatoes today. Mmmm! :) Now on to craziness of to volunteer church activities this evening, the end result of which is having to meditate and eat 2-3 hours earlier than I am used to. This could be difficult. I might end up even grouchier then usual due to hunger and/or tiredness. Ugh. At least I have more yummy yogurt rice for dinner! Yay!

Energy Crisis

I"m having a personal energy crisis. Maybe I've been doing too much or staying up too late, but I am tired and unmotivated when I'm at home. Maybe it's the heat, too.

Nevertheless, I was productive this weekend. I got to meet on of my fiance's collage friends on Friday. My fiance and I met with our church's new minister about the wedding on Sat. morning and I had a babysitting job in the evening. And today I've been running errands and doing research and updating my calendar. Good thing, too, because I found a scheduling conflict I need to correct.

I am also starting to have more success in selling off my birth books. Yay!

So all in all, things aren't that bad.

Kreative Kitchen

I've been playing with foods and flavors and having so much fun. It started with a cheep, enriched rice, that had a funny taste. That prompted me to try flavoring my grains, and now I'm heading home to try my herb bread that's been cooling while I did my on-line business. :)

Wedding Fever

I've had a relapse of wedding fever. This dread disease that affects all brides to be had gone into remission for a few weeks, but resurfaced this past weekend due to a combination of a visit from a friend who will be one of my attendants followed by a field trip to a potential location that seems perfect, except for the price. Now I am back under again, going deeper into planning, with the resultant symptoms of obsession, worry, and sleeplessness. I am told that the disease is not fatal and there is a cure, but I must wait until after the wedding for hope of complete relieve. Until then, all I can do is treat the symptoms and hope for a few more temporary remissions.

Inertia Dream

It is so hard to break free of the inertia of all my stuff. Getting rid of it shouldn't be so hard! But I find myself frustrated by one road block after another, and no matter how sincerely I mean to focus on listing stuff on line, sorting, or whatever, something always slows me down. UGH!

Being at Home

Am so happy just being at home these days. I have projects, and It's not like I don't have things to do, but I am really focusing on myself and my personal life and it feels so good.

Like yesterday--I got the house tidy and vacuumed. I'd forgotten how good it feels to live in an orderly space. Really need to get some of the clutter out, instead of just relocating, but organizing is a good start.

Did more corn work at the farm this morning, and came home with okra, kale, tomatoes, potatos, summer squash bounty.

Happy and hungry--better go eat!
