I thought I was going to finish mowing this morning. Instead it looks like a day of indoor activity. It is getting darker and darker outside as the storm rolls in. Not that I don't have more than enough to keep me busy indoors.

crafting a post

For the last couple of days I have had this inner monologue running through my head. It will eventually be a post about assertiveness, responsibilities and rights. I just need to craft it correctly in order to achieve my purpose. And yes, words can bend to the will of the writer. However cold hard logic will serve me much better. Oh yes, let me add assumptions to that list. I have been fighting a tooth for the last couple of days, let me warn you. The dentist cannot see me until Tuesday.

Rule one: Never assume.

Rule two: See rule one.

Its a little something in progress that I started a long time ago and I need to finish. Feel free to comment.

The Closet

I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, otherwise known as the buckle of the bible belt. It is also swiftly changing to a haven for artists and intellectuals, a progressive city. The business world is still turning on all gears and the green movement is taking up a more significant place within the city. This weekend we celebrate May Fest in our downtown district. There will be belly dancers on the sidewalk and vendors hawking their wares up and down Main street. It is quite the event. Everyone comes out of their closet for this. There will be the conservative group with their beehive hairdos from the 50's as well as the green haired youth with tatoos. There will be the "thumpers" with their pamphlets of doom and gloom on the wages of sin and there will be the proud growing gay population of the city. The Pagan community will drift in and out of this with or without their pentacles outside their shirts depending on their age and courage. I believe I will sip my tea on the sidelines this year. I need a new necklace chain.

the state of perfection

Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing. ~Harriet Braiker



This is actually a quote aimed squarely at my boss. I need to print it out on nice paper and frame it and hang it up above my desk.
