Monday Madness - Mow the lawn

I love British TV.

Pink mountain majesty

One of my favorite sights in the world is flying over the mountain ranges into the Albuquerque area. This last trip, I flew in right at sunset to a full view of beautiful pink-tinted mountains overlooking the valley where Albuquerque rests.

I can see my house from here!

I enjoy searching for recognizable landmarks when flying. Yesterday I just happened to notice a few landmarks while taking off from the Houston airport… then discovered I could see my house! Cool!

Sitting in judgment

Advisory: this could be filed under TMI. Just FYI. ;)

So, I’m sitting here in front of my computer, minding my own business and doing my digital scrapbook layout, when I hear Nathan walk up behind me. I turn around to a somewhat flustered and amused husband. Talking with his hands he says, “Your feminine hygiene products are judging me!”

Can you imagine the look on my face? Yeah, I’m sure you can.

“No, really!” he says, “You gotta come see.”

As he leads me to the bathroom, he explains, “I was just standing there [doing my business] and I look at the box. And realize it’s looking back at me!” Skeptical (and wondering what the hell he’s been smoking ‘cuz I want some too), I continue to follow him. Then I see:

Which reminds me… I need one of those shirts that says, “I am SO going to blog this”…

Don’t miss “Sisters Singing” anthology of women’s writing

Another first for me this week! My first published book review is available at the Story Circle Network Book Reviews web site.

I love this book. Sisters Singing: Blessings, prayers, art, songs, poetry and sacred stories by women is an awesome collection of spiritual and soulful women’s writing. It’s broken into ?? sections: White Lotus, Ode to the Mother, Song of a Luscious Wench, Everyday Offerings, The Coming of Grace, I am Nothing without My Dead, Songs of My Sisters, In the Oak Grove, In Praise of Water, In the Name of Raven, and Prayers for My World.

Um, can I say that now I totally want to be a Luscious Wench? You don’t want to miss that poem, titled “Song of a Luscious Wench,” on page 65. Some other favorites of mine (dogeared and marked) are: “Circle of Women,” “Avalon Priestess,” “When I am Silent,” “What the Moon Knows,” “Prayer for What Must be Done Next,” and “Prayer of Thanksgiving.” And so many more spoke to me that I can’t excerpt them here. Just take my word for it and buy the book. You won’t regret it!
