intro
I sat down here to write a bit about some recent meditations and thought bunnies I have been chasing. Among them the craft, veganism, dog training, and Buddhism. I opened Firefox to my iGoogle homepage which has a daily horoscope widget on it.
Just because you have a high level of integrity and are willing to do the spiritual work required by your beliefs, don’t think you are better than everyone else. Be careful about self-righteousness; it will only isolate you from those you love. It’s healthier to realize that everyone is on their own path and is exactly where they should be at this time.
Not that being a twit was in my mind at all, but it was interesting how the universe popped up to warn me about turning into a twit. So maybe I should just say, “Yeah, those things are on my mind,” and leave it at that. Maybe. 
photo
I bought a camera bag yesterday. The camera and flash barely fit in the main compartment, but it works. If I get another lens, it will stop working in a hurry. I’ve managed to cram the camera, flash, USB cable, 3 CF cards, 4 extra AA batteries, a screw driver, camera video cable, avalanche keys, palm tx, wallet, 4gb USB key, iPod, earbuds, chapstick, XM radio, eyepiece for viewfinder, and a stash of claratin in the thing.

If you haven’t downloaded any Blitzkid, seriously, what in the world are you waiting for??? Do it!
house
I made a remodeling type decision about the house. I want a semi-matte dark grey tile with black grout everywhere, even in the bathrooms. I want black doors and black baseboards. I haven’t decided about the walls but they will be awesome colors in the bedrooms. On one of those remodeling shows the other morning, I saw a woman do her entire bathroom in a pond flower mosaic. It was breathtaking when she was finished and made me realize how much i want a 100% tiled bathroom. With a nice big tub. Dream on, dream big.
coco
Coco is doing better *fingers crossed* When I picked her up, I made a deal with XM Radio that it could name my puppy with the next 3 song titles. Her real name is Ruby Date Rape North American Scum. I couldn’t have made that up and made it quite so perfect if I had tried for HOURS. Her official name on the papers is going to be Coco Chien-elle Pancake…because she isn’t my dog and I’m still pretty clever. (Seriously, if you don’t get that you ruin my fun.)
outro
I’m looking for some sort of training program dealing with my spirituality. Not only to teach me things but to help me get into a daily and involved spiritual practice. I’ve looked at two books (this series & this one) and an online course and I’m not sure about any of them. Someone with experience in this area or someone with a positive opinion or thought to add would be handy.
I’m glad you found a bag, too bad it’s small. I swear i think I know someone that bought the year and a day book but I can’t remember who, I’ll ask a couple of people and see.
Vanaties, Mine apparently came from kmart and they always have them supposedly. mom’s came from big lots and they don’t always have them, but she reports seeing some at target too.
