Well, we did the biggest shopping day of the year yesterday. ugh. totally overwhelming and vata-deranging. I got some good winter shirts though, so now I need to get rid of the stuff I don't wear anymore. also got some good stamps and crafty things, so better get cracking on presents!
Had ANOTHER big meal last night, tasty, but woof. At least we went dancing afterwards. Flapjaw Larry was playing at Paradiso. They had some good new songs. Seems like Hibbsy is writing more, which is cool. I chatted (IM) with Alexander to tell him about coming out to dance with us, and I did good enough that he understood me. yay.
Did yoga today. Had some realization when she asked us to think about how we felt about our bodies at the moment, and I was feeling like I hated mine, and then I realized that my body hadn't done it to me, I had done it to my body. Sort of like when you tell a computer to do something - it does exactly what you ask it to. It's just that sometimes what you ask it to, and what you WANT it to do are actually two different things. argh. Sue said after that she saw me go to some places I didn't want to go to today, and congratulated me for it. yeah. It was hard today, and I was shaking for quite a while afterwards.
But it was also good I went because I saw Sue's invite to Lila's baby shower and realized that it was today! I would have been so bummed if I missed it, I was excited about it from the time I got the invite. So after leftovers lunch at my mom's, I came home to finish up the booties and get dressed. I also gave her a Goddess Mix 2, hope she likes it. I thought I was kind of stupid looking, but turned out I had one of the good costumes. :) The green eyelashes and feather boa really helped finish off the look I think. I was an hour late, but I stayed after and chatted with Lila and the last few people, and then helped clean up a bit. It's so amazing to be around the process of birth! I hope it goes smoothly for her.
It's funny, I felt like all the imminent "grandmas" were really excited and anxious to pass on the wisdom, when it's been 15, 20 years since they've last given birth maybe. Whereas the new momma's didn't seem to be as forward with suggestions and advice. Maybe because it was too soon ago to be really excited and they really know all the hard stuff ahead? Or maybe they were just distracted by their own kids, or maybe they wanted to give the new "grandmas" space? Who knows, it was just a funny thought I had today.
Took Jai for a walk, hope she liked it and that it tired her out a bit. She's been a bit wild this time. Went and pooped in the neighbor's yard, that's rather embarassing. While I was in the front talking to some lady who wanted to tell me she was out. Which I knew. sigh. I was seriously thinking of going to pick it up later, but as we were driving away, I saw them do it, so oh well.
Made some little cranberry tarts with my new tart shaper. Worked really well! yay. and I have enough dough to make another batch tomorrow. Probably bring them into work or something. Could maybe try to sell them at the movie at Morning Star?
