It's My Life

Home from SUN

with a to-do list as long as my arm! I want to make shoes now. And I've some plotting to do for some things, and some work to do for some other things. Stay tuned!  Just sent Anplica home and am in my jammies now, ready to sleep. More tomorrow.

Cannot drink enough coffee today...

I'm ready for SUN, the A&S event that is happening on Saturday. My day looks like a quick one here, with meeting notes and tickets. I did not want to leave Van this morning, though, wanted to stay and talk and hang out. Also, I forgot to call Gin last night.

oh! OK, I've never done this before...what do you think about this idea?

I'm reviewing my stuff for SUN and had a weird idea. I'm going to create a new blog that contains the whole presentation, post by post. Sorta like a powerpoint but more interesting cause it can contain community.  And if I do this quickly enough, would you people be interested in coming in and commenting and adding your suggestions?  I'm talking about SCA and the Internet, mostly researching techniques and tools, and then wonderful networking.

You could really add to the depth of this.

I know it's two days out. I'm crazy that way - and sort of hopped up on caffeine and music and exercise. Van ran off to rapier practice and left me the run of the house.

At home, getting ready for SUN

Sending Van out the door to Rapier practice. This is probably going to end up being one of those bits and pieces posts. Check back.

Scary dream

Hiding it in case you don't want to read about missing kids in dreams.

 

Shire meeting

Firstly, I had a lovely dinner. Good company and yummy meat. We went to John Hardy's BBQ where the meat is tender and flavorful. I ordered mine naked (no sauce). And I realized the men I was with looking at me with the 'she said nekkid' look and it made me laugh. I know what I saw.

We had a lot of things on our agenda tonight. And as I was telling Van about them all, he decided to come and listen in. Good to have him there. I'm not going to talk about all the details, cause they will come out as necessary. I got to say hey to some good people, though, realizing I do miss seeing them through the month. So many good people - how to stay in touch with them all? oh yah...facebook!

Not really. FaceBook is not the be-all of community.

I had something else but it's late and my brain leaked. 5 am and the workout comes awfully early.

nice quote about journalling

If you don’t have a journal, now is the time to start one, in preparation for the memoir you’ll write three or thirteen or thirty years from now. Write every day, or as often as you can, about the life you’re learning with. Write with the full awareness that you are documenting your life. Write down all the details of people, events, activities, results, feelings, so that later–when you want or need to recall what happened, these will be available to you. Don’t avoid the hard stuff, for that’s the very material of memoir: what’s challenging or frightening or anxiety-provoking, as well as what’s fun, interesting, enlightening, expanding. And do get into the habit of reviewing your journal on a regular basis. I review mine once a year, on my birthday. It’s my way of rewarding myself for living my life–even the hard parts–as fully and completely as I can.

This is from one of my fav author's - Susan Wittag Albert, I believe. I started this post way this morning and am just now returning to it.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

“Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only time we’ve got.”

full speed ahead and damn it all, anyway. **Wanders around singing the 'cock-eyed optimist' song'
