Whoa is me

Kokapelli

So this slowing down stuff is frustrating, but is working quite nicely.

I went shopping with Laura yesterday, and she helped me find a nice dress for a friend's wedding. It's quite pretty, and very pink and femmy. I get to wear her Italian sandals from Germany with the dress.

Laura, Elizabeth and I went to see 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' last night. I loved it. I love just about anything Johnny Depp does, but this was especially entertaining. I had heard some negative comments, but I was pleasantly surprised. After that the girls and I walked the dog on the ditch bank for about half an hour.

I can't help but think ahead two weeks to my first day back on the job. I dread this. Not because I dislike the job; I really do love what I do. But I just don't want to go back to work. I want to be healthy and healed and work HERE, getting ready to move. I want to feel like the move is just around the corner, and we will soon be making those fun plans for a major life change. As far as the four-letter word itself, M-O-V-E, not so exciting. But I do feel that we will have a lot of help.

Of course, between now and the time I go back, much fun and wonderful stuff lies in store. I guess I better shut off this thing and go find some, eh? Mainly I just want to crawl under a blanket and sleep some more.

Last night I dreamed that Christopher who is now not going by that name but it kills me to try to call someone a different name arrived here unexpectedly. In the dream I cried and cried and cried - and NOT because I was sad. I wonder if that dream might one day come true? But I'll try not to cry.

I have the teakettle on. Like Polly. It's on a medium-low heat so it is boiling timidly. It's like the thing is trying very hard not to make any noise, but it just can't help it. It's funny. It makes Greg laugh, too.

OH MY GOSH Charlie made me the coolest thing!!!!! He has started doing some woodburning, and he made me this little fob with a Kokapelli image on it, and my name. It is going in my Scion. Very, very cool. And Elizabeth said she saw one of the scenes of the movie that had me in it and it was good. I don't know if I can stand it. I loved filming it, but dread watching it! Yee haw. I'm gonna be in a movie. What if it goes international? What if it gets an award? They are still finishing up the music part, which is the hardest part of all. The film is "silent", no dialogue, and the music provides the mood. It will be played live while the movie is being projected. There are a couple of people who read this who have NO idea what I'm talking about. Ask me. Greg is just happy that James, Jim, and Jimmy (his character), can now have "their" hair anyway "they" want! ha ha ha ha

OK, time to rescue the poor teakettle. I need a new one. I want a blue one. New one, blue one - I sound like Dr. Seuss.
