Goodbye Moon... I mean.. June...

Howdy all.. it's friday... and a holiday weekend for me.. got monday and tuesday off.. i wanted to write to say i hope you have a good weekend.. the rain has come... and yes.. there has been damage.. and i've sat in traffic more this week than i can remember.. (BIG UGH) and yes.. it's greenhouse effect.. but it's also healing the earth from all the damage that WE do to her.. yes.. WE dig her up.. and cut down trees.. and burn her.. and completely manipulate her.. do you think that she's not going to retaliate from time to time.. Don't get me wrong.. if my house flooded.. I would not be a happy camper.. but in the larger universal/worldly view of our earth.. we are taking up residence on earth.. not the other way around... Like the Native Indians.. honors Mother Earth.. we take her for granted for the most part.. see cut up trees??? eh.. we are used to it.. but should we be used to it? Call me a sensitive drip.. but it really makes me choked up when I see trees uselessly being cut down.. i KNOW that i cannot truly fathom how many trees are cut down to make our REAMS AND REAMS of paper that we WASTE!!! So as much as yes.. it stinks that homes are flooded.. and roads.. etc... I think an apology to the earth is needed.. in our own little way.. cause we are living on borrowed time.. if we don't realize the damage we're doing..

anyway.. wow.. a tangent in full waxing poetic.. That was not my intention to digress like that.

onto the High/Low:

High: I am going away for the weekend.. I'm kinda psyched about it.. I really enjoy the Charlottesville area.. Monticello.. It's Kevins birthday Sunday and so I've planned a getaway.. he's never been to the area.. so we're going.. I got us a Bed and Breakfast... I'm hopeful it's a good time. good Photo opportunities.. gotta delete pics from my memory card in my camera. I was SOOOO excited yesterday when I got a phone call from a woman from the Corcoran who knows my dream of working there.. there is a position for Assistant Registrar available.. and it would be a break to work in an art school like i wanted.. but it's only 29,000 a year. Sigh.. and while I would LOVE to be at the Corcoran every day.. I can't responsibly live on that salary.. (kudos to those who can) so It is with some sadness that i must decline.. I stumbled upon this AMAZING artist yesterday.. wow.. she's so inspiring to me.. i was mesmerized by her art.. her beautiful life..http://www.flickr.com/photos/queenthings/
check her out.

k.. i'm running late (again) gotta go.

oh.. Low: I know that I am not feeling 'so much myself' lately in my relationship.. I am nervous/unsure of things.... i know that every day that goes by... my feeling gets stronger... and I know I should just drive my car with my heart..but i'm scared..

k.. gotta jet.. have a gREAT weekend..
love to you all.
onward and upward.
