Return to Phae

So, I did go and get a blogger blog.  Several actually.  I've been flipflopping on the name.  Right now it's at  http://cultivateart.blogspot.ca/ - I'm liking it.  It's pretty.  I've been having trouble with focus lately.  It's summer, and this is the season that I am naturally all over the place - taking care of the house, cooking, playing with the baby, cleaning up after the baby, feeding baby, washing baby, etc with baby ;)

I am letting go of the idea of having a regular religious practise.  At least for now.  I've never been very good at it.  I'm good at holidays generally - when there is cooking and decorating and visitors etc.  Moving repeatedly and far away has kinda wrecked me for this year.  I'm sure by Mabon I will be back in the swing of things.  The cooking holidays were always my best :)

( And now ... the point -> )

 I have about half a dozen articles/tutorials that I should be putting together for my blog(s).  I have a kitchen full of produce that needs to be prepped so that I don't have to do it before/while cooking.  My house needs to be dusted in a bad way.  There is also laundry, a project from my old school that I said I would do a month ago and various other things that are half finished ATM.  I've misplaced a lot of things that I need for my various sewing projects (straight pins, sleeve press, new needles), so I need to hit the fabric store soon too.

I just signed up for three different web forums (well, two, but it seems that my MW account has been deactivated, probably from disuse, so I count that one as well), all accounts are awaiting moderation approval - which is something I'm not used to.  Probably for the best.  Something tells me that I'm not going to get approved at one of them (I didn't realize that you needed to fill out the profile info completely to get approved).

I want it to be sunny so that I can go outside and enjoy my coffee on the deck.  Weather app says it's going to rain for the next 3 days.  I love rain, don't get me wrong, but I've gotten used to sunshine now.

I've also fallen down on my daily meditations.  I should get back to that.  There isn't a whole lot of peaceful time with a teething baby, tho - both bottom eye teeth coming in.  Her poor little mouth is so swollen :(

I think I will finish my coffee and play catch with my baby.  Maybe I'll be productive later.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Thursday I caught a purse-snatcher who stole magick_pearl's purse (30 points). In May I gave pregnant_niamh a Dutch Oven (-10 points). In November I gave lillyxandra a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points). In September I gave popeseasons a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points). In February I put money in lupabitch's expired parking meter (14 points). Overall, I've been nice (79 points). For Christmas I deserve a Sony Playstation 3! Sincerely, phae_talon

Woot! Now, if Santa can help me decide between the ipod touch, the PSP and the iphone, I will be all set for gadgetry!

I have a huge list of stuff that needs doing, and I don't want to do any of it.  A few things that need brainstorming out, I have to clean the kitty box, I still have stuff to make before the store is ready, and all I  want to do is crawl back into bed and wait for the sunshine to bring spring warmth with it (durn cold sunshine!).

Bleh!  Maybe some coffee would help.
