Today’s horoscope for Gemini:
You have a keen sense of organization today and can put the littlest pieces in place while working on a grand idea. Your key planet Mercury is unrestrained now and can assist you in accomplishing great things. Don't waste time doubting what you can do. If you can think it, then you can make it happen.
In the midst of planning my annual sale (for I do plan on it being an annual event) and planning my yard work, and getting housework done, I’ve been trying to imagine where the heck everything would go if we turned this room into a baby’s room. I’m not sure why I need to wonder about that … there’s more than enough time to think about it. A whole year and more. It just keeps popping into my brain … a stray, persistent thought. Maybe it’s because now that I have a schedule for it, it just seems that much closer.
I keep pushing the thought away – not because I don’t want to think about it; I’d love to fantasize about it all – because there’s no point in worrying about it now. I’m not pregnant, I’m not planning on being pregnant very soon, and there’s no baby stuff to find a place for.
So … * shove *
I’m getting excited about the Sale. It’s gonna be wonderful I’m sure. Lynne is going to make stuff – beady type things, I think she said (I should write these things down), and my aunt, Jane, will be putting things in too. She’s very creative and a welcome addition to an already talented family. She asked if I was expecting baby stuff or Christmas stuff or what … I said, yes. She laughed. I meant it though. I’m keeping an open mind and I think practically anything is a possible sell. June might be a bit early for Yule/Christmas items, but there is always the possibility of early shoppers. And baby stuff sells all year ‘round. I plan on making my usual plastic canvas items – I have a few unfinished projects that I could get done soon. I also plan on a few “quickie” crafts to help round things out. Not sure what yet, I’ll pick things up as I go.
Wonder if Albert can get my sewing machine fixed in the meantime? We’ll see. I’m trying to talk my mother into making something simple. She keeps telling me that she’s not good at anything. I told her that she can’t possibly be the only non-talented person in the family. She is capable of many things. Wind chimes, painted terracotta pots, ornaments … all she has to do is find something that she enjoys doing.
Oh, yeah, Lynne also offered to make up the flyers and signs. Once I settle on a date, etc, Poppet, I’ll design something and we’ll get started on those too. No rush though. Lots of time.
I should order some music boxes and make more of those movable dolls … my mother-in-law loves hers. Yeah, that’s a good plan. I like it. Where did I stuff those supply catalogs?
Oh, I love having something like this to do. I love to organize things. I once impressed a high up person in a company I worked for with these skills and he wanted to know why I wasn’t into Marketing. I forget the position he mentioned. On the tip of my brain … Anyway, that’s also something that I’m keeping in mind because that would be something that I can do from home.
Maybe I should write him and ask him to remember what it was.
Heh. I doubt he’d remember either.
Sat outside for about half an hour with my cat this afternoon. Just doing nothing. I itched to turn some soil, but I made myself sit still. I never really sit still anymore. I think it would be a good thing to re-learn as long as I don’t get carried away with it. Sitting still tends to drive me crazy. I can’t just do ‘nothing’. I need a book or something in my hands to keep busy even as I rest.
Mmmm … making pot roast. It smells good.
Yup, if Jade wants me to stay home some more, I’m willing … and I’m gonna make it worth the trouble too. That was surprising though. He came home Monday night and asked if I’d stay home from work for another week. He really likes having me stay at home.
No argument here. I happen to enjoy it myself.
I am seriously considering going back to playing D&D. My friends say they miss me. (aaaw!) Well, I’m willing. We’re going to start from scratch … level 1. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before so I’m looking forward to the experience. Heh. Experience. (D&D joke) I’m already picturing a character so I guess I’ll be going.

Syrah Rose 2004 … what a lovely little wine. A bit drier than I like my blushes, but it’s very nice all the same.
It bothers me the way Lynne walks away from our conversations. I understand that she multitasks (and multi chats) while she’s talking with me online, but so do I. What bothers me more is that I’m starting to do it back. Just to her. Like it’s okay. And it’s not okay … * sigh*
So … I made the effort to not do that anymore. ‘Nuff said.
Running out of things to say. Got a lot to do tomorrow though. I’m gonna be re-potting a whole bunch of plants, have a lunch meeting, and some chores that need to be done. I’ll get that laundry finished yet. I also plan on sitting down and working on completing a craft, maybe two. And organizing myself with what’s left. I want an idea of what I’ve got currently almost ready and then I can plan on what I still have time to complete in addition to what I have! Oh, I am so excited about this! I’m going to have so much fun! If there is such a thing as enjoyable stress, this is it.
Yummy. Good wine.
Sweet Dreams!
