Feeding the Hordes

Published by on May 24, 2011 | Leave a response

I just finished the dinner dishes, wiped the counters, and then got out the ingredients to make a couple of snacks. Nope, I’m not hungry…but you can bet my teen son and preteen daughter will be, given a couple of minutes! So I put together some guacamole and an herb dip to toss to the […]

Day in the Life of Starcat

Published by on May 23, 2011 | Leave a response

Rather unoriginal, I know, but I haven’t been all that inspired with other topics. I got up early (for me) and got ready for the day. That includes doing daily practice, which for today was journal writing, Tarot card draw, sit-ups, and dream sharing. Most days I also meditate, but there wasn’t time this morning. […]

Feelin’ Sorta Bleah

Published by on May 20, 2011 | Leave a response

We’re in the midst of a long, long stretch of rain, drizzly weather here in New England. A lot of folks are talking about feeling dreary, too. Well, this week I’ve really felt it. Of course, I think hormones are involved, too (yeah, I know, probably TMI!). But anyway, I’ve been feeling pretty low-energy and […]

Epic Fantasy for a Rainy Week

Published by on May 19, 2011 | 1 Response

We’ve had a lot of rain this week, so I’ve had some extra reading time, which I just adore. I’m currently reading book three of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, and I’ve added it to the list of my all-time favorite epic fantasy series. Which made me think, hey, have I […]

Cake of the Month: May

Published by on May 18, 2011 | Leave a response

We wanted to use my new stand mixer, so ElvenTiger and I offered to make dessert for Monday night. Every Monday (well, most every Monday) we go over to my parents’ house for dinner and dessert, and then watch Dancing with the Stars together (or a movie, if the show’s not on). It’s a lot […]

Where was I yesterday? Why didn’t I post a blog entry? What about the blog challenge? Here’s a clue. Today is feeling brighter. The blog challenge is still on. I wish you bright and sunny skies!

My Ego is Whiny

Published by on May 16, 2011 | 1 Response

I recently finished reading “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose” by Eckhart Tolle. It’s an excellent book, and comes highly recommended. The basic idea of the book is that we are not our egos. The ego is a collection of thoughts, feelings, preferences, and aversions that we’ve built up over our lifetimes. It […]

Getting Out of My Head

Published by on May 16, 2011 | 1 Response

“Oh, man, you’re just way too cerebral!!!” my friend exclaimed as I offered the word “incline” as a clue during a board game (the word I wanted her to guess was “uphill”). The thing is, she’s right. Much of the time I can be up here in my mind, thoughts churning along, not noticing my […]

Busy Weekend

Published by on May 16, 2011 | Leave a response

I haven’t done one of those “glimpse into the life of an unschool family” posts for a while, so I thought I’d share what we did on our busy weekend. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos to go with the post, since I still haven’t picked up a new battery for my camera. But hopefully […]

Home Sweet Home

Published by on May 13, 2011 | 1 Response

My Dad has a saying, “When you can’t pee in your front yard anymore, it’s time to move.” He and Mom have lived in the woods on a dirt road for years. Well, this morning I came up with the female equivalent of his saying – because I (and the women I know) have no […]
