a little bit goes a long way

i feel like my feet ahvent touched the ground since wed. night....to yoga, then to dinner, then to bed....my friend tami called me from willmington nc....and wanted me to come hang out with her and kelly, yet another lovely friend of mine....well tami has been in cali. for about a year now working as a traveling nurse, and living in a surf club thing...surfing to her hearts content, raising puppies, grilling dinners, attending weddings, driving across the country....you know tami stuff...and i got to see pics of all of it....i do love some tami....i havent seen kelly in about 2 years i guess.....she is a teacher around willmington, she lives in a freakin' castle on the inlet with the collest little couple. and of course there is roxy the wonder dog....woot woot...we went out to the beach and body surfed like 10 year olds for hours , and got sunburned.....then went into downtown will. and got stuck in a pub due to a nasty storm...so we had a few beers, and talked about life, and love, and hurt, and healing....all things that eventually come up in a conversation with kelly and tami....out of all of the people i have yet met on this planet these two lovely ladies are by far the most thought provoking people i have ever met....to see tami live in front of you is a lesson in life....to hear kelly speak honesty to you is like listening to the brutalness of the ocean, while being kissed by the foam on the beach....beautiful sisters...
so tonight we are heading back to the beach as a family...rock and lillian and i....we are going to stay at cherry grove for a few days with rocks whole family....ive been looking forward to this for some time now....i just got a call that i can rent a long board for the weekend from saltys, and im so excited i cant stand it....
so off we go...ill write more when we get back...

lunch time at the stead.

im on my lunch break, and passing through on the way to yet another few hours of baked wonders....
last night i was gonna go to the gym to start arobics again, but the nastiest migraine got a hold of me and wouldnt let go....arggghhh....so i ended up going ot bed...rocky was watching a movie in the room, and i didnt even know it....i was soooo tired...i think i need to start up with some iron, and b12....so im gonna go to yoga tonight, and out with kathy, jerud, and carla afterwards....
jerud made me a funny little llama out of some wine corks the other day, i dont think rock was real keen on another guy leaving me trinkets....its been a long time since someone has left me something like that....but rock has no need to fear....even if it was a romantic gesture,(although im sure it was not) i would be completely oblivious....im not used to stuff like that..i think it made rock upset because he knows that i used to date a feller who would leave me trinkets like that all the time....peices of cloth, old bones, shells, fresh picked flowers....he was bit of a scavenger.....i understood that....so i appreciated it. i told rock about it, and i think to see someone else give me something was a bit threatening....or maybe im wrong....all i know is it was funny, and llamas are the best.
i might run out to hartsville today to see jessie, and mary....maybe do some belly dancing...
i really dont want to go back to work today, but alas....do everything as unto the lord....
bill our new pastor invited us over for dinner, im looking forward to whenever we do that, i feel like we would have lots ot talk about....
this past sunday they made an anouncement that they would be starting classes on dream interpretation, im exctied about that...i dream alot, so it would be nice to be able to get together with a group of people who could understand. i had a dream last night about an old friend, and a rally big building with lots of stairs...im always at the beach in my dreams lately it seems....and there was a sinead o connor concert involved...hahaha. im sure that last part has nothing to do with anything
alrighty, im off to "bake the world a better place"..har har har....yeah i think its cheesy...but that is our slogan...

till then.

sort of busy day

so its monday, and it was a sort of busy day...i didnt do everything i was supposed to according to my agenda in my head, but good enough for a moday...amen? rock of course was up at the crack of dawn doing everything i feel like i should be doing....making me feel a little well.....little...but that is alright...i dont think he means to make me feel like that, he just does things...
we went grocery shopping for the week, and that is always my favorite part of the week, im being serious actually....i get to go to the asian market, and that is my favorite place in florence....it smells like fish, and weird spices, and old fruit...hahaha...i know that doesnt sound appealing, but when you live in a town where everything looks the same, and feels the same, and oh yes even smells the same it is refreshing to walk into a place that smells slightly bad....and there are shlves and shelves of cans and bags and boxes that harbor strange symbols that i will probably never understand on them.....frozen bags of eel, and jars of what seems to be half eaten octopus....oh yes this is my favorite place....a whole wall of every kind of rice you can imagine, and packages of 100 chopsticks for $1.99....
it is a beautiful thing....
so from there we took hana to the vet for her third round of puppy shots....she is such a cool dog....while there we ran into a very mouthy dad and his three kids....ill leave it at that....im just posting that for my own rememberance sake....
we got home, and took naps....ahhhh sweet nap time...
then up to jim and rock in the middle of some secret society sort of meeting in the living room....i think they are realy a part of some masonic sort of thing....secret handshakes, funny hats, little cars, the works....jim if you are reading this buddy im on to you....
i cooked up some burritoes, and andy, jim, jeff, and michelle came for dinner, it was yummy....i love having a full table....things to keep my hands busy, and wine to drink....ahhhhh a good end to a monday.
so the dog is fed, bathed, and rolling on the couch...
lilli is fed, bathed, and trying real hard to convince us that sleep is over-rated...
rock is fed, un-bathed, and waiting for his wife to get off the damn computer....
and im fed, sort of stinky, and enjoying a few minutes of solitude.
tomorrow i think it will be tuesday.......
