Hello, rainy Monday

Mmm. Rain. Yes.
On Sunday. It was needed. The vegetable garden in the back and the flowers in the front were pleased.
On Saturday, I took a bus to one of the more local shopping centers. I wanted a smoothie. I had called Danny earlier to see if he wanted one too, but he was still unpacking. When I got to the shopping center, Danny called back, and I told him to meet me. Lucy came with him. We got smoothies. I was happy (Acai, of course).
Sunday, it rained. When it rains, I am tired. I literally have almost no strength. All weekend I had entertained myself with the Food Network (my favorites are Nigella Lawson and Alton Brown) Alton and BBC America (Hex, Graham Norton, Footballers' Wives) and so Sunday was no different. However, I also found myself napping too much. See? Tired.

Not tired now. Very awake. Iced vanilla latte.

Adam comes home today. He flies on Ted. Las Vegas to Dulles. The plane leaves at 7:30, Nevada time. He will be home by the time I get home.

Is bouncy.

kiss kiss

You know what is awesome?

A welcome home kiss that lasts two full minutes. (I counted)

Adam also brought home pearls for me. Real, freshwater pink pearls straight from the oyster. There was a guy in Vegas who sold them. Adam had holes drilled in them for earrings or a pendant or a bracelet. My ears are no longer pierced, but I'd like to see them in a pendant or bracelet. I have a silver ring that has a gold freshwater pearl (gold means prosperity, pink means beauty). The ring is one of my two power rings when I use magic; the other is my Celtic knot ring with amber. I think subconsciously I agreed with my mother's gemstone preferences long before our conversation. Pearls and amber resin are alive, living stones, and to me they hold more power than most semi-precious stones. Precious stones (diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies), gold, silver, and copper also all hold stronger power. All my rings contain gold, silver, and copper.

I just made dinner, which consists of cut ziti in garlic parmesan alfredo sauce, with tuna fish and whole green olives, with a dash of black and red pepper blend.

Quotes from "Metamorphoses"

"Bodies, I have in mind, and how they can change to assume
new shapes -- I ask the help of the gods, who know the trick:
change me, and let me glimpse the secret and speak,
better than I know how, of the worlds birthing,
and the creation of all things, from the first to the very latest."

"Walk as far as the ends of the earth. Look for a pool of water that reflects the stars at night. Wash your hands in it and there is a chance that everything will be restored."

"Never think, never think that you can be safe from love."

"It's just inevitable. The soul wanders in the dark, until it finds love. And so, wherever our love goes, there we find our soul."

-Walking down the street at night, when you're all alone, you can still hear, stirring in the intermingled branches of the trees above, the ardent prayer of Baucis and Philemon. They whisper:
-"Let me die the moment my love dies."
-They whisper:
-"Let me not outlive my own capacity to love."
-They whisper:
-"Let me die still loving, and so, never die."

"Farewell."
