What Happened????

[Sowelu]

I thought it would be a neat idea, if everyone wanted to, to come here at the end of your day and talk a little about how your day went. I guess this would be sort of an open on line journal for everyone to come and discuss what ups or downs went on during the day. (I hope I'm posting this in the right category)
What do you think?:boing:
Did you have a good day....a bad day....care to talk about it????
Want others opinions/input?
I'll be back at the end of every day to post here.
:boing: :boing: :boing: :boing: :boing: :boing: :boing: :boing:

[Man/Wolf]

Good idea. A place to come let off some steam and maybe give others some moral support if they've had a bad day or a bad experience.

^..^

[Dancin Girl]

Ahhhhh maybe a space to take a deep breath, sigh a breath of relief, say Whew, glad that's over with, or sigh in contentment gather your thoughts before you face the next part of the day or night.

[shnen]

I think its a great idea JadeDragonfly! a nice release of the day before going off to bed!

[CoolJ]

interesting idea :)

[Flaire-FireStar]

:thumbsup: I like. :)

[Man/Wolf]

I'll be first. I had a good day. I started it by visiting my dad and taking him to breakfast. We had a good visit then I came home, did laundry and posted several installments to the story. PM'd with some folks here on the sight to get some story ideas. went to SAM's Club for dog food, cat food and songbird seed. Now all the animals will be happy, the birds will sing in the morning and all will be well! :)
:bubbles:

[Dalia]

Oh, well, I woke up a little bit late and been here all day long, already posted 100 times today, almost 200 :D me gona make it to 400 today :D

[Myst]

Yay Saturday! I played computer games and watched tv most of the day, napped for a few hours, had friends visit, and now we're going to a party. Wee :)

[Chibi-Fallon]

I went to a speech comp. And placed directly in the middle of everyone in my catagory. Crazy. But I got to see this one dude I see every meet. :D I don't know what his name is tho. I just call him Elf Dude (his piece is about an elf at Macy's).

[shnen]

got my car oil changed... been on here since... who knows when? *lol* made it past 300... cleaned so hopefully the place will rent tomorrow.
I hate having strangers come through your place when you're not there! UGH!
other than that... good relaxing day *not for my fingers though!*

[Flaire-FireStar]

Got up late...Watched about 10 mins of the news...Read for a bit... played cards (won 21 cents :D), ate lunch, made the dough for some donuts, went on a wander, came back, made donuts, watched TV, came online, ate supper, watched TV, and here I am again. ;)

[Dancin Girl]

Hey, Chibbi, the middle of the pack in those speech meets is a good thing! Been all through them with my daughter and know how rough they can be!!

I enjoyed my day off, played on the computer, cleaned the house yuch!! Then spent some time listening to great music. All in all it was a good day!!

[Lavender]

We continued our Spring celebrations today. Bought my son a Japanese Maple for his birthday & we planted that as soon as we got home. We had a nice little dedication ceremony for the tree & my son. Spent the rest of the day starting some more seeds & transplanting the bigger seedlings. A perfect Spring day! :sunny:

[Annika]

:wave:

Spent a fun day wine tasting with friends I hadn't seen in over six months. It was good to get together and and play catch up.

Wheeeeee!!!!!

Now I'm off for some wonderful sleep. I love sleep. And I get to sleep in tomorrow.

Annika

[Nyx]

I got up early, and spent most of the day at an SCA event. Much fun, much fighting, and much tiredness in my feet. :D (all of which are much better than homework! ;) )

[Jeleia]

First thing I did this morning was go online. My boyfriend took me to see "Blade 2" It was pretty good. Action packed.
Then after dinner we went to the bar. The end.

Wasn't the most exciting day. Tomorrow I go snowboarding. (Yay!!)

Blessings

[FaeStormCrafter]

I've just relinquished my efforts to be with a girl I truely love.
She likes another guy but... He's good for her.
I think me and her are still friends though... So i'm not totally bummed.

[Elida]

....on my architechtural space and my photos for my photography propsal.

Now I'm kicking back with you lot, some more of my reaserch; it's on Women in Iconography and chatting to some of my frineds at #Bloodlust. :smoke:

Here's the link if anyone is interested.

I went and got a table for my bedroom, then decided to paint my downstairs bathroom with some paint I had gotten in the oops section at home depot. It's a beautiful dark red wine color. Unfortunately, I only had a half a gallon, and I ran out (didn't realize red was so hard to take), so I have to go back to get some more. Both my kids had friends spend the night, so I had about 5 wild ones running around. My neighbor came over and we had a bottle of wine and chatted for a while. Nothing too spectacular, but all in all, a productive day. :)

[shnen]

well, i made it past 400 last night :eek:

thanks for the great company!!

[shnen]

wait... 500... I made it past 500.... *trying to get that through my head*

[manstranger]

I bought my second domain name, and hosting for it for a year, for only 64.00 from drak.net, which is a very good deal for me. I'm going to figaure out how to keep my mom from reading my blog before i set it up. Its name is tempiale.net, italian for temple. I've got lots of things i didn't before with hypermart, so thats pretty cool. I'm using domesticat.net(i think)'s tutorial to make it skinable from the start. Should be a fun project.

O yeah, got a new moniter, because after .. 6 years, i think, my computer is dying. Foo.

[savian]

I have been gone awhile. My wife has started and finshed her own web site so needless to say I have not gotten to use the computer much. I have to clean my house it is not going to be fun. My parents are coming to visit. I'm just going to say hi to everyone :) HI EVERYONE! I hope to have more time to visit here. Get to be here really makes me feel good and all though I don't know everybody well, I miss ya. Well got to go. Write to ya later.:):):):)

[Flaire-FireStar]

What did I do...Uhm... Got up, watched TV for a bit and came online. :rolleyes: I'm so exciting!

[Jeleia]

Today I went snowboarding. Beautiful spring conditions! :)

[Sowelu]

...still trying to find my way out of this laundry pile.....hopefully I will get it finished today. Why is it that kids wear something once, think it's dirty and put it in the dirty clothes??? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.........:D

[Man/Wolf]

Speaking as a former child (and one who clings to juvenility): Because! :D
:devil:

[Lavender]

Well, yesterday was an interesting day.

My son & hubby went out in the morning to my MIL's house. They weren't expected back until 11:30. I thought...Great! I'm going to give myself a facial, hot oil treatment on my hair...the whole works! :)

Off I go to prepare the oatmeal face mask. Applied that to my face. Whipped up a nice concoction for my hair & applied that to my hair. The women here can understand how oily & stringy your hair will look now. I decided to really deep condition my hair & put on a plastic shower cap...the one with the hair dryer attached to it. The heat will REALLY make the oils work into my hair.

Just as I finished applying everything on, the doorbell rang. I looked out the window & saw two men wearing suits standing at the front door. Thought to myself...Oh Boy! :D So I answered the door, dressed in my holey t-shirt, baggy sweatpants, shower cap with the hair dryer running, oily stringy bits of hair hanging out of the cap, my face covered with oatmeal, and my fuzzy bear slippers! :lol: You should have SEEN the expression on their faces! It was so priceless. Apparently, they were from a neighbourhood church, inviting people from the area to attend! I don't think they'll be back to my house for a long time! :lol:

But my hair is nice & shiney & skin is so soft! ;)

[shnen]

*lol* that is funny, I can just picture their faces!

I didn't do much, online, cleaned, went to the bookstore, online, then read... relaxing ahhhh.....:)

[Man/Wolf]

That is a hoot! :rotfl: I wish I had a picture of their faces (and you fixed up like that)!
The things you gals do to be beautiful! We appreciate it even if we don't understand it.
:D :cool:

^..^

[Lavender]

:D I don't mind telling you guys about it but I certainly won't show you a pic! :lol: I can just imagine the conversation after church service that day! It was probably a good thing I wasn't wearing my pentacle too.

[Azure]

Can't remember who mentioned it, but the Christmas elf at Macy's is from a piece by David Sedaris from the anthology Holidays on Ice, should you want to look it up.

Today, the day after I got back from skiing at Vail, I took my Mom to the doctor for her shoulder, which she broke skiing in the Blue Sky Basin, and shopped, and emailed half my friends to tell them I was back. Spent quality time with my pets, because there was withdrawl on both sides. I got my oil changed in the car, did some laundry, and checked my work schedule for the week. I so haven't missed real life. If the dog and cats could have come to Colorado, I would have just stayed.

[Sowelu]

Today I restored my computer to it's originally shipped condition erasing every single thing on it. Now I will be spending the rest of the day downloading all the soft ware....uck!!!:razz:

[Laiste]

Well on Saturday I went to a benefit gig for the family of my friend who passed away last month. It was sad but fun all at the same time! On sunday I spent the day on the couch watching movies a wee bit hung over! LOL Today I didn't work so I spent some time cleaning and on the computer! I did get some good news today...I just got a new job! Yeah!!:D So today was a good day for me!:)

[Lavender]

:D Congrats on the new job, Laiste!!!

[Man/Wolf]

I prcessed some parts orders, answered some pertinent questions. and spent alot of time on my 'puter. Nothing really exciting unless you consider nearly peein' in my pants exciting! :D

[Flaire-FireStar]

Lets see how fast I can type this up (without any typos! :D)

Got up at 10 :boing: Lazed around until 11 then read my book on ghosts, ate lunch, played crib, did accounting, helped made coleslaw :sick: (:rolleyes: Guess who got to chop the onions..:rolleyes: ) Cleaned the bathroom, then dyed my hair blue again (hopefully getting a pic soon...:bigredgri), ate supper, watched TV then came here.

:eyebrow: I have such interesting days. :nyah:

[Old Witch]

Uh....Wolfie.......more'n I wanted to know!!!....I cleaned house.......and took out 18 bags of winter mulch.........Yes, I do have a compost pile.......but no room for 18 bags........And I still haven't pulled every thing off yet!!!!!!!!!!

[flar7]

Today I became a man! no wait, that was yesterday....hmm
oh yeah, I came home from hospital today!!!!!!:boing:

[Flaire-FireStar]

:rotfl: You always think of something to make us laugh...

Oh yes and..:eyebrow:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How does my paper bag look, everyone? :D

[shnen]

Ok, well I should have posted last night but decided not to... too tired...

I almost got in a car accident on my way home - the guy 5 cars ahead decided to hit the guy ahead of him, hence causing a chain reaction of panic... and watching a car speeding towards you in your rear view mirror (after already having whiplash 3 times) is not the easiest thing to watch. But I was protected and he stopped... whew! then I saw 2 more accidents on the other side of the highway within 5 mins!...

So that was my drive home... right now we are gearing up for a blizzard.. 10-15 cm of snow! The drive home will be even more fun tonight!!! I'll keep yah posted!!!

[Flaire-FireStar]

I got up.


Will post more later when stuff happens. :)

[Dalia]

I woke up at 7:30, went to work, didnt work at all (but will be payed for doing nothing :D ) Came home, and got connected- came here- nothing else :(
What can I say, my life is boring
But I will go to disney tomorrow :D

[Flaire-FireStar]

Now for an update from me....:boing: How exciting...(Get your pillows ready, cuz I'll put you to :zzz: )


Watched TV, ate brunch, played crib, did homework, went on a walk (in the freezing cold wind), came back, cleaned my room, ate supper, loaded the dishwasher, came here. :rolleyes: I think I'll stop saying the same old thing over and over again. :lol: (I'll make up an exciting day)

Oh, and my brother comes home today..:blushake:

[flar7]

that sounded like a cheech and chong, "what I did on my
summer vacation" albumn...

here's mine.....

I got up.
I ate.
I napped.
I ate.
Had dissagreement with Pouncy, and Pouncy showed me the error of my ways.
I logged on with Pouncy's assistance, or interference(you choose descriptive)

[Old Witch]

Pouncy rules~

[flar7]

shhhhhh! Pouncy sleeps! right next to mouse, so have to
navigate with care!

[LadyMoon]

Don't say the word "mouse" or she might wake up. :lol:

[Sowelu]

Today I had fun posting and reading here...especially under the "Just Silly" thread.....finished up laundry.....enjoyed the Beautiful Oregon weather......tomorrow I must make candles:D

Welcome and Merry Meet Lady Moon!!
Sorry to hear about all that!! I will light a candle for you...hope things get better for you soon!:)

[Flaire-FireStar]

Hmm.....:eyebrow: I got up LATE (someone didn't wake me up?)


Will be doing schoolwork, the rest of the normal stuffs...:rolleyes: Do I even need to post it?

[LadyMoon]

Today was good !!

I got to sleep in til 9 this morning....my kids are on their spring break so I had a sitter....hehehe
So upon rising enjoyed a couple cups of java, showered and departed for the salon...I am starting a new job and am trying to get word out that i am there.....which i intend to work on this full moon...
So, now I am home and will sit here for a little while dinkin around on the puter and then get some house work done...dink around on the puter and then its night night time....hehehehe
Maybe tomarrow I can take my web cam and get some pics of the Aveda Salon I work in now ....its really cool

[Flaire-FireStar]

Oh look! My day changed from my prediction ~ I had to go and help my mom do stuff for her church thing. :eyebrow: Yes..... Only *I* could help her. :rolleyes:

[Man/Wolf]

Look at it this way, you did good for your mom, not her church. A good deed is good karma.
I think you should feel good about it.

[Flaire-FireStar]

I did..I had fun doing it, but it's just the way she's been pushing Christianity on me for the past few days.. (You should come to church with me....Why won't you come to church with me.. God still loves you..)

:ahhhh: Aye...

[Man/Wolf]

I know it can be trying. My pop is a retired Baptist minister. I see him every Sat. morning and we go to breakfast and he says grace to god and I thank the god and goddess. That's the only time I pray in public, but I figure I can just take advantage of the situation.
Kinda strayed from the point, didn't I?:D

[Flaire-FireStar]

:o Kinda... But it still works the same. She prays every morning to god & I do to the lord & lady. ;) hehe..

[Sowelu]

Ahhhhhhhhhh.....just got through taking a nice hot bubble bath!
...Perfect way to end the day....:bubbles: :bubbles: :bubbles:

[Rada]

Jade,
I think that's a very good idea and when I have time I'll come to talk to.

[StarryDancer]

Ooooh, that sounds nice, Jade! :bubbles: :bubbles:

It's been a very long week, and there's still another day to go...Aaaah! I don't think I can make it through Friday!

That's the only problem with the return of the light and Spring breezes. I really, really have a hard time thinking about work inside a dark office when I so much want to be in my garden...
:meanhead:

[Flaire-FireStar]

:huh: What did I do today?

Drove van down to get new windshield... Went to councellors, got myself a new tarot deck, drove half way to the next town over, just cuz.. Took friend downtown, drove all over the country side..Came home, came on MW. :D

[Sowelu]

Mmmmmm, smells good in here....I just got through making a big batch of candles...Let's see, I made Mountain Berry scent, Patchouli....Yin Yang.....annnnnd.....Wild Berries!
Candle making is one of the most relaxing things I do...(while I'm playing music from Stevie Nicks)

[Psyche Ague]

Oh, my, it's THE most gorgeous day today. The temperature is about 70 degrees (Fahrenheit) and there's a lovely breeze blowing. Radocs and I went for a walk around my neighborhood and then went driving in a remote, nearby town (mostly farmland). Now he's at work and I'm going to a movie (LOTR...again...this will be my 4th) because at the end of the movie there is apparently going to be a long trailer about the second movie, "Two Towers." I'm excited.

And I found out recently that I got into my first-choice college and I can actually afford to go with the amazing scholarship they gave me. Very exciting. :thumbsup:

[Sowelu]

That is SOOOOO cool Psyche! Congratulations!

[Flaire-FireStar]

It snowed out, so I didn't go outside. :boing: And, for once, I didn't have to kill my back while shovelling the driveway either!
Other than that...um....dyed some eggs..:huh: That took almost all afternoon.. :D

[Dancin Girl]

Well, today went a little better than the rest of the week... It was payday after all! And after a much heated argument with phone company, my service was restored..brightening my day considerabley but still leaving me frustrated and irritated! I had a long night at work...ohhhh Friday is just the start of my week unfortunately, and after a long quiet thoughtful difficult and somewhat lonesome week tonight started very hard to get through. But, a phone call and the sound of a much needed to hear voice (does that make any sense to me and maybe someone else? Probably not but we know what it means:) ) Anyway, it wasn't nearly long enough, but it made all the difference in the world, hopefuly to both of us!! It made me cry a little, laugh a little and got me through the night! It was a wild night at work. And, then I came home to see a smile on the daughter's face because she has finally succeeded in paying off last year's tuition so she can go back to school next year!!!! So, while it was a difficult day, the little joys in it helped to make it all worth while.

[Garnet]

Yesterday, my nephew was baptised, confirmed, & made his first communion. Yeah, all at once.
The church my brother & family belong to is not the Roman Catholic church I grew up in.
The service started in the dark, with the choir singing a song & the priest praying to the darkness. Then, the priest & some altar servers went up in the choir loft (the choir performs at the front of the church) & lit a fire, then prayed to welcome a new fire, & the choir sang a song about it. Then the servers lit candles from it, & carried then through the church, lighting candles that had been given to the parishioners, who lit the candles of the people next to them, until everyone had a lit candle. It was nice, but seemed awfully pagan for a Catholic mass.
The baptism was done in a hot-tub, because some churches are going for pentecostal-style full immersion. The confirmation was done by the priest, not the arch/bishop, & he really rubbed lots of oil into each person's face & hair. Communion wasn't the little white hosts, but chunks of what looked like big gingerbread cookies. The choir had a piano, guitars, drums, & a brass section, & did spirituals, & stuff I was always told was "Protestant' music.
I was my nephew's 'sponser', because the church doesn't have godparents anymore. Kids aren't given confirmation names anymore, either.
I was raised Catholic, & although I haven't been one for 30 years, I never though the church would have changed so much. This ceremony was completely alien to me.
Only one thing was the same...the church's stand on other faiths. My brother & sister-in-law asked me to be godmother (I was honored) because if something happens to them, I can afford to raise my nephew. But because I'm not Catholic any more, they had to get a second sponser (most only had one)...because a sponser had to be a confirmed Catholic.
That's what my yesterday was like. I felt as if I had landed on another planet.

[Flaire-FireStar]

Oh goodness... I spent the morning looking at all the "hidden" candy that my bro wanted out (:rolleyes: I ended up getting most of it, since he didn't pick it up).. Denied going to church with my mom ~ I really don't feel comfortable in there anymore. :( Spent the afternoon getting ready for my parents' big meal tonight, cleaning and so on and so forth. Helped cook the scalloped potato-stuff (does scalloped potatoes have mushroom soup in it??) then my aunt & uncle came over, I helped more in the kitchen, had supper, helped clean off the table and serve dessert, loaded the dishwasher and here I am.

Oh yeah, and in the middle of the afternoon I went on a walk down at the beach. It was a really nice day - the geese were out as well...Lovely site they are!

[Dancin Girl]

Ummmmm, sorry if I still have few tears in my eyes blurring my vision and causing typos... I spent most of my night at work tonight sitting by the side of much more than a resident, a patient of mine, but a friend. An elderly man with no family to speak of, no friends other than the few of us who have come to care about him over the years. I sat there with him, held his hand as he struggled for each and every breath, as he tried to smile back with tears in his eyes, as he whispered to me, When am I goin? And, I had to answer, I don't know but maybe soon?.... to which he replied, You gonna be here? Again, I had to answer, I don't know that either, but I'll try. He tried to squeeze my hand and smile and said, Well I'll try too. I tried to ease his mind and his heart, and let him know that all of those things he's done are in the past now, let him know in some way that it's okay to go and that there's nothing for him to fear on the other side. He told me the other night that he's going but he hopes someone up there will let him in so I know he's fearful and worried about what comes next. And, I cried a few tears when he told me I'm a good girl and that he'll make sure someone lets me in when I go!!

It was a really rough night for me and I'm pretty sure there a few more nights to get through with him before he lets go.

[Flaire-FireStar]

(((((((((Dancin Girl))))))))))))))


I'm sure you're doing all you can for him and that he's eternally grateful for it.

[WtchyChick13]

Wow! Dancin Girl I totally admire anyone who does that kind of work. My Aunt is a nurse who worked in a nursing home and would often lose a patient or two a week--I just couldn't imagine doing that for a living. But I'm completely in awe of anyone who can. So BIG HUGS your way!!!

Makes my weekend seem almost rediculous. Friday, while nursing a hangover, (I had gone to a big dinner party Thurs.), I went to Borders Books to spend a gift certificate. I got my usual Llewellyn Annuals (sun sign book, etc...) the new Witches Almanac and a great new book from Patricia Telesco called the Wiccan Web! (Check it out!) I also got a great book on 9/11, but it was really hard to choose out of the many that are out there now.

I woke up on Saturday and found that I had somehow sprained my wrist in my sleep! Please don't ask me how--I have no clue. LOL

Sunday was dull, boring and I loved every minute of it!!! I would've slept all day, but I had to tend to my sick little birdie. Poor thing is having a rough time right now, so I'm trying to spend as much time with her as I can.

Well folks, here's hoping this week brings good things to us all!!!

~~Blessings~~

;)

[Flaire-FireStar]

:blushake: I practiced driving our standard van today.. :shaker: I really don't like that thing. :( :mad: Can't get it started going up hill!!!! And to make it even worse, I stalled so many times I started feeling sea-sick! :sick:
Ewwe!
