Mrs. Butterworth (rotfl) is too cool. I am looking foreward to the next six months!!! If I finish nothing else in my life...I just want to finish this course, heheee.

[scarlettchasingroses]

that rocks, kim!

and her name is too hilarious....!

[HoneySuckleBlue]

I can't even think her name with out giggling:)

[nirgal]

I can't even think about it without smelling waffles.... :tongue:

Do you realize from the moment you start, you won't be able to do massage without all the oil feeling like Buttery syrup, and spreading the sheets will be like laying a table cloth in a diner that serves breakfast anytime ?????
Bacon or sausage?
Hash Browns or Grits?
Endless cup of coffee...

Hey, good luck :)



mmmm doughnuts!

[HoneySuckleBlue]

Rotfl, thanks for the mental imagery. I'll fer sure have the never ending giggles now!

They will have to wait until fall though...I went in and asked them to just enroll me in the fall semester.
I was getting that same slippery-anxious feeling thinking about getting all my stuff for class and coming up with the cash by monday...it could be done but it still felt forced. The kids would be home alone durring the summer and...and...


Once I did that I remembered something that has been eluding me for the last two months...we are moving!!!

Duuuhhhrr!!!

Finaly after sooo long we are outta here!!!
I'd forgotten all about that!

So now I am done with the hardest part of the data transfer, all the other stuff is properly alotted, and now I can begin packing and looking for a bigger house. We're gonna get a storage unit so we can start now and do it nice and organised like. We have all summer so there is no hurry:)

How crappy that would have been to remember once I got strapped into a student loan and classes next week.

Yay for instincts and not knowing wtf is going on, but following and knowing it all works out in the end.

I am sooooooo looking foreward to house hunting and taking the time to be pickey and choose the next place to spend a few years.

We decided to wait on building just a bit since the market is still dipping, they are projecting another 18 months till it bottoms out and then we'll be poised to buy.

Soooo, that is where we are today, who knows what could be happening tomorrow :tongue:
It feels really good though. I had a dream last night about all of you. We were all hanging out at my retreat sitting in a round circle around a low table talking happily. Then I slipped off to go play in the white sand dunes and when I looked up a penguine flew happily over head:)

What's left when everything else falls away is my own simple, profound truth.

[nirgal]

I can't keep up.... :D It's pretty dynamic over there. Sounds like fun though. Is that going to let you get to the ship?


Penguin's Wisdom Includes:
Fatherhood
Understanding female energy within the male
Waking dreams
Astral Projection
Patience
Endurance

[HoneySuckleBlue]

I can't keep up either, just gotta embrace it...and welcome things to be what they are hehee!

I'll never forget the joy in that penguins face! I'll have to go read some more about their wisdom. I hav'nt wanted to stop visualising it,lol.

The ship is alot more cerebral-intensive than I had ever imagined, and right now I need that brainspace for making sure everything gets into quickbooks and matches up correctly. It is a very new experience for me and a very fun challenge. If I get this right now, it will open up alot of time for me at the begining of next year when it is time to prepare our '08 bus. taxes. I love manipulating the info on the computer more than on paper because it makes things so fast and easy once you get it in right...I did my first automated payroll yesterday and instead of all the handwriting that usually takes me 45 min. I was done in five:) it was sooososo much fun to see the checks printing out!!!

So I think the ship is in it's right place. It was the energetic shift that helped me to stop smoking herb every single day. I'd kinda developed a habitual energetic pattern around it and was wanting to stop but did'nt know how by my self. I love the ship so much, after the fact I believe it was the only thing I would have quit smoking for, lol. And now mom has found a 'thing' and her people. She is getting so much out this experience and it is amazing watching her grow and discover her self.
I am open to anything else I can do with the ship but for right now I am not sure what that is. I am taking who ever will go up with me next week for the social, so it kinda looks like I am acting as a contagen, lol. It'd be so neat if more of my family caught the bug. I could'nt do that before because I was driving up with mom...who knows?

Does feel very dynamic though! It is wonderful to have all these things to feel so passionately about and then to step back and let the universe organise it's self so there is room for it all. I really enjoy letting my energy come through and it is so much more pleasant now that I am learning how to get my ego out of the way and synch up with my gut to get the timing just right. Before I'd make things happen because I thought they needed to be done! Now I see when I choose when things happen according to how my gut feels they happen in a way that allows a 'right relationship' to develop with all things and this way it unfolds beautifully, with exquisite timing.

This year just stretched out magicaly before me. It has so many wonderful phases to go through all the way until next spring and I even have time for sewing and a festival or two now ;)

[HoneySuckleBlue]

I just looked up the dream symbology of penguins and they were all talking about trouble with balancing emotions because penguins are so awkward and waddly, heheee, mine was joyously flying over head as I frolicked in the soft white sand(think paintingjames style, lol), I got a real goood feeling I finaly did something right:) or hit the nail on the head so to speak. Especially with the waking dream part from the shaman wisdom, cause in that dream I was where I am going...so it was the future ;) things are feeling very congruous.


This is the happiest I've ever felt after a new moon and a whole bunch of stuff fell away.

[HoneySuckleBlue]

Yesterday I washed our winter flannel sheets...and imagine my suprise when I realised they had pengins all over them :eek: I thought of you Marie and seeing the ladies turn signal and the comment you made about all the things we are aware of but just don't make it into full working awareness, lol. It made me laugh the first time when you said it. It really gave me a hoot and a start yesterday!

[mariecstasy]

Its funny what we truly take in....and how we really don't take in everything at all. This idea and truth has helped me so very much in my irritation level with someone's story or memory not matching mine. Its not necessarily that they weren't paying attention....its just they were paying attention to other things.

Its really annoying though when they look at you and don't hear ya though.


Penguins are just cute. How did you miss having them on your sheets;)

[HoneySuckleBlue]

It can be frustrating. Rich and I talk and interpret things sooo differently we run into this the majority of the time.

Guess it's good practise the rest of the time for not being attached to being understood and knowing you are still you and that is okay, reguardless if anyone else in the whole world can see what that is.



You know with the penguins, I know I never really forgot about them because when I stopped thinking and saw what was on my sheets I remembered why I chose them, and my treasured memories of icefishing in alaska came back vividly...I was just reading about our available cognitive memory space the other day, and how it dumps bits of info we don't use all the time like our computers do with unused icons on our desk top to free up room for learning new things...I am pretty sure that has something to do with it. How many times do I really need to notice the penguins icefishing on our sheets?

[mariecstasy]

LMAO....I suppose you don't have to notice them at all:) There are so many times I am blind to my surroundings because I am in my own internal world.

Its such a gift to understand the human brain and how it works and doesn't work. Really helps to not take things personally(so often, I still do like a son of a gun though)

I have never gone ice fishing....is it alot of fun?

[HoneySuckleBlue]

I believe any kind of understandings we can come to are such a deeply gratifying gift:)

It is funny how much we don't see that we actually do see too.


It always makes it easier to function once you get past the lurning curve and something gets dedicated to muscle memory or something.

Sounds like you are still enjoying the heck out of your psych class?


Guy Baker took us ice fishing one winter when we were up there and I was new to the idea of driving in ice and my imagination was deeply piqued by the idea of life going on under many many feet of ice...hehee up there for fun one of the bars would have ice crash derbys where they would pile the snow up and clear out an oval and line it with hay bales on the curves and then people would bring out their junkers, drink all after noon and then try to drive those tanks around the course.

But yeah Ice fishing was awesome. We took lawn chairs and beer and the kids skated around intheir shoes and we augered forever and finaly made our hole and had one of those days that you just never forget. That night we fried up fresh fish and smoked a bowl or two, talked about the beautiful day and listened to Guy spin other wonderful yarns.

[mariecstasy]

I am enjoying the Psych class...but am getting bored by it. LOL! i do that. Get all excited by something and then just lose interest.

That sounds magical Kim. I would definately remember that day forever. Did you catch any fish yourself? Does Rich have just as fond memories of Alaska? Does he want to go back as well?

How big of a hole do you have to make?


Hehehehehe.....man oh man. I would so do the demolishin......that sounds like Alaska's version of DC's drag races;) Boredom and drinking generally breeds pretty interesting ideas

[HoneySuckleBlue]

The girls are still talking about the drag races;) We are so gonna have to go to that. I am still trying to find a place that has balconies on that route.


We've both had alaska on our minds this past week it seems, though RIch has been contemplating revenge, lol. He worked as a welder up there for this guy we call F'ing Bob. Bob screwed us out of so much money. We were young and niave then and Rich believed him when he would give us just enough to get food and gas money and say he'd pay the rest later. That is why we had to go on welfare for a couple months up there. It was that or go homeless because it was winter time and there was no work...meanwhile Fucking BOb and his family had a fat chirstmas, which they actually invited us too...and man we just marveled at all the crap they bought and how they were eating and just Grrrr.....you know? I've let it go but Rich still holds on to it. It is good if you are learning from it, I mean his guys never miss a paycheck and he gives them nice christmas bonuses, etc. but it does'nt sound like he's made peace with Bob in his heart yet. It's hard not to be chapped ;) lol, but I have been thinking about taking the girls up this summer...like I always do...and he's been thinking about going up and settling up with Bob some how. After we get done sailing around the world we would like to go and retire up to a nice piece of waterfront property and have a place where we can dry dock the boat. Being on the west coast would get us down to the samoan islands and Austraila alot easier when ever we got sick of the looong dark winter:)

Alaska....Mmmmmm. My whole family dreams of it. (yup we all caught a fish, even Jess and skinned them our selves and fried them up in a pan and ate them with rice and homemade tartarsauce!) I think the auger was about a foot wide? It was'nt very big just enough to drop a couple lines down.


I do that with the getting excited with stuff thing too, lol. Then the mundane work takes over and all the potentials settle into one very predictable routine. I could'nt deal with the CC because after so amny classes they all became like that and we did'nt have great instructors. I might go back if we ever move anywhere that has some great minds because other wise you can pick the same stuff up just reading on your own you know? That's cause we were paying for the classes though out of our own pocket.

[mariecstasy]

Suppose having the gov't paying for it helps get past the mundane part:) LOL! That and the teachers here are pretty good for a community college. But yeah the material is just so surface and I want to go deeper. However when I go to ask a question I know its deeper than an intro class, since I have already thought of many of these things. Again though, the material helps to keep these things in my awareness though and helps to understand. Understanding is key for me.

F'in Bob. I hate that fucker;) How dare he flaunt his abundance to you guys. That's just disrespectful and mean.

[HoneySuckleBlue]

It sounds like you have a good idea now about where your passions lie. I would looove to take classes on psychology too, it is definately facinating to see how we tick.


Bob has his sure does have his issues...I am sure he draws all kindsa crappy stuff into his life. Sucks to be him ;) Guess he figured we were so oblivious that we would'nt notice?
