times….

this was another busy weekend for me. heh. like that’s anything new, i know.

last friday, there was a dress rehearsal for the festival i am helping to produce this year, and that went good. i am sort of getting to know a lady that i’ve always admired. it’s funny to see different people in different contexts. no one is perfect, but i think it’s still possible to be generally admiring and still know the person isn’t perfect. she has a new baby and when i look at her and her husband, there are such terrific parents. both mellow and very easy going, their kid is lucky. it was great to see her and talk to her on friday.

saturday i spent with my sis. we went shopping and going all around town. how said is this…..a ross opened near our house, and we were so happy, we were about in tears. heh. we are true geeks and shopaholics. seriously. then saturday night was the wine club, which was awesome, too. i have a friend who i think has had a hard time being around me since my mom passed away. she is very close to her mom, too. i don’t even think it’s been a conscious thing, just something that happened. anyway, it was good to see her and her mom on saturday and talk to them. although, i will say, my friends sister gets very loud when she’s drinking and it was very jarring for me this weekend. just sort of rattled my brain.

sunday, i began the process of building an evaporative pond for burning man that i committed to doing for my camp. i say "me", but there is a marginal amount of construction involved, so i don’t really expect my husband to allow me to do it. it’s man stuff, so he’s all about that because he gets to play with his power tools. heh. i am spoiled that way, i think. sometimes i get a bit annoyed because i’d rather be able to do things on my own, but i also know that it’s a privilege to be able to depend on him when he’s around. makes life much easier, in general.

i need to figure out something for my front yard. we haven’t really been watering the grass this year, so most of it has died. i don’t have a problem with this, at all, but the yard looks pretty crappy. i don’t want lawn, but i have to figure out something before the stupid city decides to fine me or something. something else to worry about. heh.

anyway, that’s where i am at today. i have gotten out of the habit of writing and i miss it, i think it helps me process a lot.

peace.
