monday blurbs
Over the weekend, we purged the last room of the house that needed purging. We can finally work in the office without having to step over crap in the floor to find the chair and without being unable to find things such as writing utensils, paper, etc... In fact, as I'm typing now the keys are echoing a bit every time they pop up again after being pressed. Nice....... Now it's time to decorate each room, feng shui, do repairs..... need money. We are on the right track with the money thing, but I never see Jason anymore. We did hang out late last night. But strangely somehow, I'm getting used to the arrangement. He's toying with the idea of quitting his day job to focus on the new business and the band, but the money dilemma would be more apparent than ever, at least for awhile......

Fray Day at IR Gallery on Saturday was fantastic. We kept our set short and sweet as too give more time to the storytellers. The stories were emotional, funny, interesting, and personal. I really enjoyed the intimacy of the whole thing because it was the exact atmosphere that I fantasize about sometimes at parties. Not like those cheesy games that people play at gatherings like showers, etc., I hate those. But I think it would be great if you could go to a keg party and everyone there becomes an interested audience for anyone who wants to share a story or a song or a poem, or a joke, or whatever. Full on campfire style. Anyone could interact with the speaker and the party would basically become a large forum for communicating and sharing, instead of everyone standing around in little clicks having a million meaningless conversations. Just a thought.

I'll be taking Asher to observe a violin lesson today to see if it's something he might want to do. I just don't know if he's focused enough yet. He couldn't even sit through the story time at the Library on Friday. He decided to run all around instead. 3 might be too young for music lessons, I don't want to make him do something he isn't ready for; it would make him lose interest. But it might be the perfect age developmentally if he's into it. He talks about it all the time, we'll see....

p.s. Freecycle.com rocks!
