Everyday musings my foot! If only I could muse everyday. Well, I guess I could muse more often but I haven't a Muse (that is an entirely different story).
Anyway, now seemed like the perfect time. We are "suffering" a heat wave here in Beautiful British Columbia. I love the heat but this is ridiculous! Who to blame? The government of course. Who else can you blame?
It's 8:30 am and the house is still barable. I am trying something new. I am facing the fans outwards, towards the outside, to see if we can't blow the heat out of the house. I don't know if it will work but cold is the absence of heat. Makes sense to me.
I think it is finally time to show my family a park that I fell in love with 2 yrs ago. I think with the forest, the ocean, and the lush groundcover that it could be the coolest (natural) place in the Lower Mainland. I am going to convince my family that we have to go to Lighthouse Park today.
If I have the energy and am not too hot I will write and tell ya how it goes.
I have to get out of the heat. I cannot regulate temperature very well and when it's hot I am REALLY hot. I just want to be in bed.

We have just experienced the brilliance and the idiocy of our southern neighbours on their Independance Day. First, the launch of Discovery in all it's glory! I had tears in my eyes when the orbiter turned and there was our Mother Earth in all her beauty.
The idiocy? We live in British Columbia, Canada. Roger's Wireless just phoned to see when we were going to pay our son's cell phone bill. Now, you would think that they would have the correct information for billing. You would think that that was important. Apparently not.
The operator/collector asked Philip, "I just want to confirm that you are at 503 Blackburn Street, New Hampshire?".........NEW HAMPSHIRE?? That's on the other side of the continent. In another country! I wish they were sending the bills there, but NOOOO, somehow they get here to our address. I don't know how and I don't know why. Anyhow, not to insult anyone's intelligence, we paid the bill, online. Too bad someone in New Hampshire didn't.

Hhmmmm, I haven't written in awhile and some have been mentioning it. Which means, at least two people read this thing.
Part of the reason that I haven't written is because I feel so amateurish (is that a word?) after reading and becoming a huge fan of www. dooce.com , thanks Heather (you don't know me but am truly interested in your life). I've passed the recovering Mormon stage and barely remember anything from my early years. Okay, maybe I haven't passed it but blotted it from my mind along with all other memories.
Now I am a Witch!!! Um, a tad different.
Anyway, I am looking forward to the Gathering for Life on Earth. Every year about this time or 3 months earlier I start thinking almost exclusively of this festival. Like last year my Mom, brother Mangus, sister Tara, and niece Alessa will be there with me (brother in law Mike and niece Aiyana are not attending this year). New addition, my son Jacob. He is excited about being able to be nekkid as much as he would like. He is also looking forward to being "responsible for himself"....he isn't really but I've told him this so that he will behave impeccably.
The Gathering is the one time a year that I drink fairly heavily and not worry about it. It's party time for me. Hopefully, my Mom, brother, and sister will assist me with Jacob. However, I have seen numerous times parents of children at the Gathering NOT being responsible. That's not me. After the kids are safely in their tents THEN I will go to the "special place that starts with G" to have a bit too much to drink, lose my inhibitions, and dance like there's no tomorrow.
I should come back with some interesting purchases and if I do I will post the pictures here.
Mostly, the Gathering is MY time. It is where I do what I want when I want. I spend a lot of time meditating, drawing, and just staring into the lake. Yes, it's all about me.
Just this year, it's about Jake too. I hope he enjoys it. Aiyana didn't like it last year because of the nudity. Jake is a bit more open about that kind of thing so I am sure that he will be fine.
Okay, outside of the Gathering. Work is going great (when it is going smoothly). I can't write anything that I could get fired for because there just isn't anything. Not that I have observed anyway. I work for a great company that truly does care about the people we serve.
The kids all passed into their next grades. Taylor is going to grade 11 (GASP!! am I old or what?), Jason is going to grade 9 and High School, and Jacob is headed to grade 7. Luckily Alessa and Aiyana will still be going to that school with him, so he won't be alone.
I guess that is enough info for now.
Talk atcha later.
