This week I was totally into....
Writing, and tarot, and cleaning my house so I will have a completely free weekend in front of me. What else...I got TS some new shirts, and he went out and bought himself clothes too. I have also been trying to buy my journals - so far I have not been successful, but if i don't hear from them next week, I will try again.
This week I was avoiding...
I avoided a lot of blogging. I avoided fighting with people unless I absolutely had to make a point.
What else is on my mind...
Taking pictures, hoping for a nice relaxing weekend, how Nemo is going to do with the fireworks next week (we have drugs for him). Also the war, also all the people going crazy. It makes me wonder if there are more people going crazy, or just more knowledge of it.
The week ahead....
Hopefully a relaxing weekend with no drama. Fourth of July, so we get Wednesday off. 50th Anniversary dinner with TS's folks. My sister's 40th birthday.
Accomplishments...
Wrote every day, upped my exercise, ate healthy, met my goals for the most part.
Weekly Gift....

Summer Solstice
This week I was totally into......
Sleep. Because I was sick, all I did for basically Monday and Tuesday was sleep. Oh, and part of Sunday. I was also into being crabby, I guess, because I felt pretty darn grumpy. Luckily, I am feeling better now, by the end of the week. It wasn't a week of fun, that's for sure.
This week I was avoiding....
Decisions. I didn't want to make any decisions. I also tried to avoid arguing with people, because I was grumpy as much as possible. This didn't always work.
What else is on my mind....
Getting a new puppy. It's feeling pretty lonely around here at the moment. Also ordering my notebooks. I've been going to do it for months, but I still feel a little guilty about it. Also using my next deck, Waking the Wild Spirit, which will be fun. Also cleaning the fish tank tomorrow, which is my only chore. Well, that and the white clothes. And playing WoW, which I might do a little of tomorrow, but I am planning a big WoW weekend next weekend, I hope.
The week ahead....
Still exercising and eating well. Hot tubbing. Work this weekend - I don't like that so much. Watching more of the TV show Supernatural (I got season 1 on DVD) and also The Young Riders (ditto). Getting the housework done. Maybe buying some white pants.
Accomplishments....
Stumbled but didn't fall on my lifestyle changes. Exercised even when I was sick. Wrote every day.
Weekly Gift....
Filter lense for my camera

Family Stuff
This week I was totally into...
I wouldn't say I was totally into anything - once again it was a week I just slogged through. We bought cards for all the upcoming events - our niece's graduation from collage and her party, her friend's graduation, and the boyfriend of another friend of ours. Also, Father's Day, TS's parents 50th Anniversary, and my sister's 40th Birthday. Since our 25th Anniversary is coming up next month as well it's going to be a busy time. I wrote quite a bit, but mostly I just survived work. I am hoping that next month (July) starts a better cycle for us. Got my makeup (yay) and DVD and books from Amazon (yay) and have been reading my books.
This week I was avoiding...
I can't say I avoided anything. Maybe I avoided getting into conflicts with anyone. I played it cool, and lay low. I didn't avoid housework, OR anything else. I didn't bring up touchy subjects. I didn't let people step on me, but I didn't go out of my way to start anything, either.
So - sometimes avoidance is a good thing.
What else is on my mind...
The war in Iraq. I just hate we are over there in the first place; and all the people dying over there - on all sides. But, especially the civilians. Our troops are doing what they are told - as they must. The opposing forces - honestly I can understand why they don't want us there - although I can't see they'd do better. Getting a new dog. I am wishing it would happen soon.
It's weird having just one dog. We got offered kittens - but there is no way we can have any with the Evil Tink.
The week ahead.....
It's payday. Yay for that. TS gets the packing out of his ear. I work the weekend, so Friday off. The usual cleaning and laundry. Need to cut back a bit to make up for overdoing it at the party. Keep eating well and exercising and drinking water. It's going to be cool and cloudy. Should be getting a couple of new tarot decks. I like the deck I'm working with this week, the World Spirit Tarot.
Accomplishments....
Have kept eating and drinking well so far, and exercising. Worked with my deck every day. Wrote every day. Went to work every day.

Sunshine and Rain
This week I've been totally into....
Working - really that's been about my main thing. It's been one of those weeks where I wake up much too early every morning no matter what time I go to bed, so I have been stumbling around in a fog for most of this week. Hmm, cleaning. Doing laundry. Can't really think of any excitement - which isn't a bad thing. I bought the DVD for the TV show Supernatural, and also two books I've been waiting for - Changeling by Yasmine Galenorn, and the new Retrievers book. (My mind is blank on the title and author.)
This week I'm avoiding....
Stores. Was planning on grocery shopping yesterday, but just couldn't do it.
What else is on my mind....
The death of Hansa, Woodland park Zoo's elephant. The war in the middle east. The deck I'm using this week, the Tarot of Baseball, which I am not certain I like much. Sleep. Work. Wishing my vacation were coming up, instead of months away. My mind is actually fairly quiet at the moment, which is rare for me - must be all the sleep deprivation.
The week ahead....
Be really good with my eating and exercise this week. My packages should come. Keeping the house clean. Sleep. Sell my mom's camera stuff.
Accompishments....
Got done what I wanted to get done. That's all I wanted to do this week. Got rid of some clothes, and took a box 'o crap to Goodwill. (I am not naming items, because some were gifts, and I don't want anyone reading this to think "Oh, she took THAT to the Goodwill?."

New phones. Ours had been messing up. Now I have a phone right by the computer, so I can look at the id from here to decide if I am answering or not, haha.

Is it Over, Yet?
This week I'm totally into...
I guess it was more a week of recovery. TS was recovering from his ear surgery, and it was painful. I hurt my back on Wednesday and it was painful. I worked Memorial Day weekend, and cleaned up like I planned. Unfortunately I didn't play today (Friday) like I planned, instead I spent my day doing crap like exercising, pooh scooping the backyard, cleaning the bathroom, hard boiling eggs and doing laundry. But, I got up late (10:30) and I kind of slow-played for the first hour, so it's kind of my fault. We got a new camera last week - yay! It's a Nikon D80, which is a little more camera than I need - but I figure I can grow into it. Because it was a work weekend I didn't get to play with it as much as I would have liked. We did go to a couple pioneer cemeteries on Memorial day, which was kind of cool. Maybe this coming weekend we'll have more chances.
This week I was avoiding...
I didn't really avoid anything - I TRIED to avoid arguing with TS, since he wasn't feeling well either, but it was hard, because we were both grumpy.
What else is on my mind...
The news helicopters circling all afternoon because of a shooting at the strip mall right next to us. Helicopters three times this week. I hate it. TS doesn't hear them, since he can't hear. Lucky him, haha. Ordering my more makeup from Sephora. Oooh, hope the samples are good ones (and different from the ones I got before...) Hoping another one of my decks (Tarrochi di Merlino, or Steele Wizard Tarot) is ready to be shipped. Also going to get some clothes today with my coupon. And Home Depot, for more weed killer, and more blackberry killer.
The week ahead...
I hope to play a lot this weekend. And shoot a lot of pictures. And relax, and not work. So, even though I have the weed killer, I won't use it until next time it's sunny. Next week - for once we don't have anything planned. Ken needs to recover from his surgery. I need to work on my projects at work, and at home. Play more.
Accomplishments....
Kept the house clean. Stayed on my eating plan. Exercised a lot.

Adobe photoshop elements for my computer. Yay. So I can work with RAW (a kind of footage type) as well as JPEG images.
