Ah, the weekend.

[featherynscale]

Another overbooked weekend, leading into another overbooked week.

Saturday: Church board meeting, during which I got to pretend that I was the Secretary and the Treasurer, never mind that I'm not a member of the Board. orcjohn, I believe that the minutes show that you were not there because you were out getting laid. So hah. Follow this up with a planning meeting for the Summer Solstice ritual which is going to take place on a Saturday despite the fact that the sponsoring organization continues to insist that we should hold the thing on a Thursday. Follow that up with some cleaning/reorganization of our office at the church, which the astute reader may take to mean "we took everything out of it, pitched half of it, and then tried to cram the rest of it back into the office in an organized manner". Follow *that* with auditions for Measure For Measure. Then, lovely Chinese take-out with saffronhare and agrnmn. *whew*

Sunday: Shopping for God Auction donor gifts. Have a theme for the large basket and acquired a few items towards that. Have some thoughts about the gift from Bast. After that, ritual at Gaia about gender and sexuality, which was mostly not muddled and only majorly offensive in one bit. Fun, anyway.

This week, upcoming:
Monday - Read Measure for Measure. Type solstice ritual outline.
Tuesday - Conference call with CUUPS board re: solstice ritual, not on Thursday. Clean house.
Wednesday - Clean house for the weekend.
Thursday - God Auction meeting.
Friday - Keter comes in for the weekend.
Saturday - Constellation workshop.
Sunday - Keter goes home, maybe go to ritual, maybe solstice ritual practice.

Also, funnily enough, further investigation of the sex toy that ysabel was so heartily recommending reveals that the company who makes them is located in my old home town, Lakeland, Florida. This is funny because Lakeland is the most backwater, conservative, run-by-the-Assembly-of-God-church kind of town. It's the sort of place where, when a big-box bookstore (non-Christian) went up, the locals shook their heads and went, "That won't last long" and "I hope they have a big picture book section". So I envision that the demand for strapless strap-ons is pretty low in the local area. But I hope that's not true. I hope there is an entire underground lesbian culture in Lakeland and that they buy these things up as fast as they can make them. It just seems unlikely.

Ah, that would explain why the hospital there hired my company to do some consulting work ... my workplace is so straight-laced I'm surprised anybody can relax enough to breathe. I swear, hire-by-hire, I am attempting to turn this company into someplace I'm NOT ashamed to claim I work at. It's almost reached that point, but it has a ways to go yet.

Doom. Lakeland General? I was born there.

Also, I understand about working in a hostile environment... did I mention the last job I had was in the auto parts industry?

When you stop to consider that only last summer, I, all on my lonesome, carted off eight--count them, eight!--Bags O' Crap from that selfsame office, the mind fairly boggles.

Indeed. The only possible explanation is that things flow into the office at the same rate at which they flow out.

I think that part of the ongoing struggle for useable storage space will be convincing people that simply because they have something to give away, this should not imply that we need it. There was an album rack in there, and two microwaves, and a personal laminating system. Unreal. There's no way we can keep even half of what was in there and fit the ritual supplies in the office too.

The micros are still there? I thought they went into last summer's garage sale. I know we talked about it.

Well, I don't know if they were the *same* microwaves...

The Great Plains mall has a shop called Earthbound Tradeing Company. They had some fantasic Genesha/elephant statuets and such... they were on sale too...

Good to know. It's on my list of places to check. It's funny though, I go in there every time I buy for anything like this, and it always seems to me from looking in the windows that they'll have something I want, but I don't think I've ever actually bought anything there at all.

Really? I have gotten a lot of good fung shui stuff, even more than at the old Mysic Asia store that was there.

I love that store.
