Cooking Day
spinach lasagna, pumpkin soup and cranberry scones...
thinking ahead for tomorrow when we have our first big official Triburbana meeting. I want to do the cooking today so I can relax more tomorrow. I am looking forward to the meeting. We will talk about what we desire from church and what we would like Triburbana to look like and what we are willing to realistically and practically commit to over the course of the next several years.

There is a wedding in our building today and the loud music and crowd is a bit intrusive on an otherwise relaxing Saturday afternoon. But I can't help wondering... is this celebration of commitment and start of something new that is going on downstairs a sort of symbolic confirmation of what is going on with Triburbana...?

Nothing like hanging out with your dog to put life in perspective.
Took Kati for her usual walk and run today and the air was clean and crisp.
The river was movement framed in life.
Kati was elegant and sturdy, galloping freedom, black shiny friendship.
Beyond our walk, our little reality, I forget what worries me, my concerns. I can breathe, I can laugh, I can see every color and hear every sound.
I can be recharged to get back in the game with new strength.

Life is good, full of twists and turns, boring bits, stalls, false starts and surprises.
The adventure is most of the fun. Who knows what will have happened by this time next year. I have a great husband to share it with, Kati is a loyal buddy. I have loads of great family and friends in several countries. I have a super lot.

(As I type this Kati just got an asswhoopin for getting into the trash)

ARRRGGHHHH!!! I just went to see the results of the placement for the theater costume course and they said they wouldn't be able to post them til after 2 this afternoon. So just gotta keep my mind busy on other things til then...

Did some modifications on my blog yesterday and now it's looking a bit wierd. Gotta talk to Mark about how to balance it out a bit better.

Thinking about getting Edie Brickell's new CD...listened to excerpts on iTunes and it sounds really good. Kind of similar feel as Norah Jones, mellow and slow and sultry but powerful in a natural, vulnerable sort of way...really good songwriting and her ability, singing and playing are quite skillful with a touch of originality...

Jonah came back from YWAM meetings in Madrid last night. We are enjoying a lazy Sunday morning together. Jim and Mark found an apartment down the road and moved out this week so this is our first day together having our own house again.

I got a ton of sewing done yesterday. It is amazing how much faster I can sew with a machine. I am a mad woman with the thing. I keep going back to my closet to find more to mend. It's great!! I haven't used one in years. But it all came back to me yesterday. My grandma that just died taught me to sew when I was little and I could hear memories of her voice in my head as I worked, helping me to remember how to get things done.
