It's My Life

Hi! How are you doing?

I'm not getting any trick-r-treaters tonight so I might as well talk to you. Lucky you...i think us adults need to stop being selfish and teach our kids how it shoulld be done. Scary.

I know what we need to do. we need to develop the reputation for being the scariest house in town and then we will get people over here. may take a year or so but we can do it. I don't think we will. not as earth-shattering as all that.

I'm vitalized to make some positive changes. Stay tuned! I will be talking here. But mostly right now I'm about the apple schnapps left over from last weekend. mmmm.

It runs and hides!

Clocky The Alarm Clock: A Fun Way To Wake Up

Fight Report from last night

I was talking to someone yesterday who said she really enjoyed my varied activities. Last night was a blast so I've copied that report into this blog:

I had a great night. I fought and had a good time doing so.

Library Garden: A Day (er, make that 3 months) in the life of a librarian

This is a great list of tasks this librarian gets to do. I'd enjoy this job.

"I feel like I’d have to do 3 mos. in the life of a librarian to give any kind of real picture of my job since every day and every week and every month is so dern’d differn’t."

Sunday!

I'm finally awake. The coffee is v necessary today. I didn't get to bed until about 1 am, driving to Iowa to attend the Heraldshill Halloween party. Lots of partying this time of year. I had a very nice time down there, catching up with people.

The site was really neat. The family had set aside 30 acres in living trust and on this property had built a cabin to be used just for gatherings. Then a smaller building went up behind it as a game room. No running water, composting toilet, but it had electricity and lots of seating for people to talk and share. Anyone in the family could sign up to use it for a gathering like this, and everyone in the family has access at all time, so we could have had family showing up last night. I thought that was a neat snapshot of this family's connectivity.

I have a sword to fix and some sewing to do and cleaning too. Heavy practice at 6:30 tonight.

I love this song:

I'm on call today

and am up drinking coffee, having checked my apps already. Everything up and working!

Van is talking campaign stuff, presidential. I am listening, sure, but have already made up my mind and am not interested in influencing other people cause there is plenty of that. I got a couple of hours at home and then am meeting friends for lunch, then back home for a couple more hours and then into town to drive with Anplica to a party. I still do not know what I am taking to the potluck. Probably chicken salad. I have the fixings here.

heh. we are on http://www.lwvmn.org/vote/Election.asp discussing candidates. Local ones. There are not nearly the yard signs this year as I've seen in years past; not sure what is up with that. Having to actually look up who the local candidates are.

Sharing some inspiration from dreams last night

This is from my fighting blog, and I want to share it with a greater world than just the people interested in my fighting progress:

I think that last post sat in my head all night and caused dreams. Woke me up this morning and got me awake. I *do* know what I am passionate about, I always have and I've buried it under the pressures to conform and to not make other people uncomfortable. I love to inspire people to wake up their own passions and follow their dreams. That's one.

900's construction, in York...

Not in Sorcha's neighborhood or her time, but still interesting!

Timbers from a Viking home found in Hungate dig (From York Press).

The archaeologists say the home, which was uncovered about three metres below street level, would have been built in the mid to late tenth century. It appears that ships’ timbers used in the building’s construction – the first discovery of its kind in York.
