Entry tags:

ten good things: hail to the stars above, hail to the strength of love

1) Pasta e fagioli (Mom's friend Jeff's recipe). I didn't even have to make it.

2) That pain-reliever goo.

3) One can almost see carpet in this basement, I've made so much progress tidying.

4) The local UU newsletter hit my inbox today, and I want to go to all four May services.

(Well, all five, but it's a lil late for the first one. I just need to wake up early enough Sunday mornings...)

5) I crocheted some yesterday. My rainbow lapghan progresses.

6) I have a hook for a blog post I've been meaning to write.

7) I don't have to empty the dishwasher tonight or tomorrow morning. And loading and running it (like ought to have been done earlier tonight) is Not My Job.

8) I have the most gorgeous blue and white glass beads in two sizes for An Project. Seriously stunning. (And inexpensive, because AC Moore.)

(Also made in China, because AC Moore, but. Oh well. I just hope the cord I bought is both thin enough, 'cause these beads do not have real large holes, and sturdy enough, 'cause it's probably in for some hard wear. What I ought to do is buy beads with BIG holes and then leather or faux-leather cord, and use the beautiful glass beads for Other Projects...but I didn't see any beads with appropriately big holes at AC Moore.)

9) I also have "Follow Your Heart" charms. I forget where these came from or what they were for, so: Hello new earrings!

(...if I can not break the little loop on the earhooks when I bend it open or closed!)

10) Tarot card of the day, still with the Motherpeace deck: Shaman of Cups, turned partway between left and upright. Left is holding back from responsibilities. Upright is discipline and competence and professionalism. I read this to mean I'm moving from that left to that upright—I'm on the right track.

(Know what's gonna be interesting? Spreads with rotated-90-degrees cards using round cards. Reversed and upright are easy enough to tell with rectangular cards as long as one is consistent in the direction of rotating the 90 degrees. Round cards, that have meanings four different ways? Uh, not so much. I should maybe have thought of this before blithely offering Celtic Cross spreads. I'll still do 'em! Maybe even tonight! But it's gonna be Interesting.)

I can't imagine trying to do a Celtic Cross with a round deck. Just seems so ill-suited to them. I use wheel-shaped spreads, three for the legs of a tripod, five for a pentacle, nine for an eight-spoked wheel with the axle.

I don't usually use reversed cards, and never with round cards, so that part I don't worry about. Wheels keep turning, and right-way up will be upside-down again in a minute, and vice versa.
