The Excitement Builds!!!

I am going to see Rachel Fuller in Los Angeles in NINE days!!!

Okay so I got my ticket awhile back but now that I have my hotel and other details worked out I am **beyond** excited. I will be meeting up with other bloggers and it promises to be nothing but magic.

Just Breathe. LOL

Ahh Fall. As you can see my yard is ablaze in glorious colors. On the downside it is also freezing and I don't handle the cold well.

I am trying to enjoy every second of its beauty as it might very well be the last fall I am in this house. I have no idea what next year will bring. Where I am headed is still unwritten. I know where or what ever it is it will all be okay as I have found Divine Inspiration in the strangest of places. I am sure it will get stranger still.

But I believe and so far so good!!

Mercury is starting to go into retrograde. If you are a Virgo like me you probably already feel the effects. Same if you have a lot of Virgo or Gemini in your natal chart. (Mercury rules both Virgo and Gemini)

Mercury retrograde effects communications for all signs. It is never a boring period! It will be in full swing Oct. 28-Nov. 17. The worst days are Oct. 28 and Nov. 17.

For those of us who are Virgo it really effects your brain too! All I can say is on a good day I am the airy fairy queen. Now I am so far off the planet it is not funny. I so need to be grounded but of course that wont happen until Nov. 17!!!

I better check and double check everything I do between now and then. People are already asking me where my head is at -- imagine what I am going to be like on Sunday!

Queen of the Airy Fairies

My ipod now works :) What was wrong - the hold button was switched on.

It was the last thing I tried. I hooked it up to the computer. No go. I reset it to the factory settings and the reload my gadzillion files. No go. I got the book ipod for dummies out (of course I should have done this first) and it said the first thing that should be checked is the hold button. Voila!

All is right with the world again!

Ugh!

My ipod is locked and I am having a horrid time getting it to unlock.

Music memories

Not so long ago I used to hang out with The Les Paul Trio.

Lou Pallo (the rhythm guitarist)played every Wednesday night at a local restaurant/bar. Usually turning into a jam session it was a blast and a half. One never knew who was going to show up -- it could be guys from a local band, or Jon Paris (my personal favorite), Tony Bennett or Steve Miller or . . . Like I said you never knew.

Today I just found out Lou still plays there!! Guess where I will be tomorrow night! (and most Wednesday nights here on in :D ) I am so excited. Lou is such a great guy and I miss his music!! I didn't realize how much I missed those jam sessions until I heard they were still going on!

As an aside I found out Les still plays every Monday night in NYC. He is 91!! Wow! I really should go see The Trio ASAP. No one plays a Les Paul like Les Paul.

My personal favorite Les Paul song is Over The Rainbow. I have never heard anything more beautiful. I love to hear it one more time YK?

Celebrating Life!!!

On Wednesday, The Resident Princess turns 4!! Tomorrow she gets to celebrate her birthday at school. This is her first school birthday celebration and she is beyond excited!!! I am baking her cookies to bring in as per her request.

Everyday she is nothing but pure joy. As you can see she embraces life with her arms wide open. She fears nothing. I will save all the over the top mushy gushy stuff for my live journal blog, but I will end by saying I have no idea what I ever did right for the universe to lend me such a blessing.

Its Oct. 15 and this time its permanent

It is October 15 -- Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

In the past each of the 50 governors had to be chased down to sign a resolution declaring the day as such. That was nothing short of interesting to see who would and who would not sign and their reasoning.

This year Washington made it permanent.

The resolution was signed a couple of weeks ago -- I needed it to settle before I could write about it. It is a good thing I think. We truly are a nation of silently grieving mothers for few ever speak of how their child was born still or died during its first year of life. Having this day lets mothers know they are not alone on this most unnatural journey.

It changes everything about you, even the way you breathe.

Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Got good vibes?

It is political season (aka "silly season") and as the election gets closer things get crazy crazy with those running for office.

I do my very best to fly under everyone's radar. I pretty much can not stomach the nonsense of silly season or politics in general TBH. I am not THAT kind of reporter.

Sadly the two towns I cover are extra crazy this year and I am getting dragged into the arena. Recently my editor contacted me for my opinion of who she should endorse.

Here is our convo:

Editor: What to you think of AB?
Me: YK he gives off really really bad vibes.
Editor: I totally agree. What do you think of CD?
Me: He is a true politician but his vibes are better don't you think?
Editor: Yeah I do, we'll go with him. Now what about your other town?

If they only knew it was all about vibes, auras and the like!!!

Now in theaters!!!!

As if I could get any more blissed out on this wonderful day - the whole week really -- I just found out Science of Sleep has been released in NJ! You know what I am doing this weekend!

Here is the trailer.

I heart his work. I am a member of the science of sleep community at live journal. It is one of my favorite places to hang. You should -- no need -- to check it out. It is such a great place.

The irony of it all is I rarely sleep!
