Morning Fuzzies

Freewill Astrology for Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Many fantastic beasts that are known to Harry Potter and his fellow wizards are invisible to Muggles, the ordinary people. They include the yeti, also know as bigfoot; the clabbert, a tree-dwelling animal that's a cross between a monkey and a frog; and the phoenix, a bird that periodically bursts into flames, dies, then resurrects itself from its ashes. But my favorite magical creature is the billywig, a mosquito-like insect whose sting causes its victims to become giddy and levitate off the ground. Even if you're a Muggle, I predict you will have an experience that resembles a billywig bite in the coming week. An annoying prick will lead to a pleasant floating sensation.

Well, I have enough annoying pricks in my life, that's for sure. I don't know how one will lead to a pleasant floating sensation, but we'll see.

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to Job Service I go! I dropped my registration form off yesterday, and took a typing test. 55 WPM. I thought I'd be faster. If I retook it, I probably would be. Ehh. I'm not really looking for the sort of job where 10 WPM will make or break me. (I had two errors, each with a penalty of 5 WPM.) I signed up for two more online job-registry things last night, including montana-jobs.net. Here's hoping... and writing cover letters and tweaking résumés and trying to figure out how to look professional when I have very few professional-type clothes, and the ones I do have don't fit. Oy.

I finally got my "Goddess Chant" CD back! It's been on loan for three years now, along with my copy of Women Who Run with the Wolves. (Yes, this is where you tease me for having, and loving, these things.) I love them. The CD is more soothing than anything I've ever listened to. Very good for getting out of "must keep choking-hands away from the necks of children" and into "isn't the world a beautiful place."

I loved Women Who Run with the Wolves. I give that book to all my women friends who haven't already read it. Mighty good empowering literature.

I've always preferred the companion volume, Women Who Nap With the Housecats.

Women Who Run with the Wolves, aka Jungian Feminism for women who are afraid of the F word.

I started reading that during a critical time in my process of "finding myself." It was such a revelation, someone saying that I could think and feel for myself, and that I should pay attention to those little longings, instead of letting someone else tell me what was right for me.

Antithetical to Mormon thought, really.

How's this for a personal question -- what size do you wear? (email me if you don't wish to share this information publicly. Also, what are you wearing now? ;) )

Seriously, I've become a total slob at work (because I can), and I have a bunch of professional type clothes that are a) nearly new, and b) barely worn.

[kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com]

a) um, I think I'm currently wearing a 12/14 ish sort of size. I'm hoping to change that to 10/12 soonish. I may even be a 14/16, but I don't think I've gained that much.

b) white fitted tee, blue fat-jeans, black sequined flip-flops, white see-through bra, white cotton thong. Sorry you asked? ;-)

Thanks for the smile. Needed it.

I'd be ever so grateful for any clothes you don't want. Thank you.

I don't have much but...
