Roses, Lavendar and Me
April 10, 2008 by Avy.
I smell like them.
I made a nice order from LythaStudios.com and got some essential oils. I’d thought was ordering essential rose, but I ordered a perfume instead. It’s nice so I’m not annoyed with myself. I don’t typically LOVE the smell of roses. They’re nice, but so what. For some reason, I just out of nowhere wanted the oil. So that’s what I does.
I also bought some lavendar smudge stick. They have sage and cedar mingled in as well. I LOVE lavendar and sage. Cedar is nice. I plan to smudge sometime this weekend. There’s bad vibes in the house and I want them gone.
Aside from the Lytha order, I got a couple of books by Yasmine Galenorn from Amazon.com for cheap. New + cheap = happy Avy. I made these orders in a window of two weeks and everything showed up this week. I’m happy.
I also got this really nifty tapestry for Erik’s rehearsal space. A couple of the other guys like it as much as I do apparently, so I linked them to the store. “I’m a cool mom.”
So I am going to work on being calm. I have all this energy going to waste. It’s not as if it’s the kind of energy that’ll have me running a marathon. I only have that kind of energy for swimming and sex. It’s just this fizzly, jittery energy. I notice I post like 10 blogs a day, mostly private, and they’re all so random. They’re coherent, but random nonetheless. My leg-bouncing is possibly worse. I also get so insanely horny that I get bitchy if I go too long without sex. Too long isn’t very long at all. I just wanna shake the shit out of people or punch and kick. Imagine being pounced on my an angry panther. Yep that’s me. It’s frustrating. I try not to use the word “normal” these days, but I doubt my libido is normal. It’s not because I’m pregnant. I’m always this way. It’s just that pregnancy hormones are making it harder for me to focus on other things. Grr.

What I Say?!!
April 10, 2008 by Avy.
Lacey-who’s-not-my-sister-but-my-friend-from-afar: You’re having this baby by Monday. I rub my mojo on you from afar. Hopefully, the bruised ribs will chill.
BGG : Make it snappy, missy. Remember to go head first.
Andrea : We’re swimming today so that means more pissed-off politics. I’ll join your anti-affirmative action ranting because that shiz was effed up.
Erik : Where’s the baby? Where’s the baby? Where’s the baby? Where’s the baby? Where’s the baby? Where’s the baby? Where’s the baby? Where’s the baby?
Jerilyn : When the eff are we hangin out? Come play wii on Saturday with me and Andrea. Yes yes.
That’s about all I guess.

I Hate Pay Day
April 3, 2008 by Avy.
The women I work with (well not really with per se) are like cows. Maybe that’s an insult to cows. They just get on my effing nerves!!! They’re not in my department, but the next one over. As soon as their checks are passed out I hear at least 7 minutes of commentary. and now they’ve started again! sheesh. STFU & RTFM. It’s not that difficult to read a goddamned paystub. It’s all right there plain and simple. I hate that these people need things spelled out– overly detailed and with pretty pictures.
Things like this have always annoyed me. I used to get really angry in school. Especially in English/Lit classes. What seemed to me to be self evident was confusing to others and I’d just get really mad when the teacher explained things over and over. It’s frustrating, but I know I’d be wrong to flip out over such things. Once in a while I would just get frustrated and blurt out an explanation. It always started out as, “Look. It’s basically saying…” My tone will always be a clear indicator that I’m annoyed and think your stupid. I never wanted to hurt anyone’s feelings but I’m sure I must have at some point.
At work I try my best not to help people with anything technical. I still get annoyed if they don’t catch on quickly enough. I’ve tried smiling while explaining. I’ve tried limiting comments and just speaking in a basic step-by-step manner. I do better when I type up tutorials. I just get annoyed because (IMO) if I can learn via interne, you should be able to as well. I know that’s not true.
In general I don’t mind helping people. It’s just people at work that piss me off. And lazy people who don’t even try to figure out what’s wrong before bugging me. You are so much better in my book if you at least effing TRY!!!!!!
Okay. Now that they’ve figured out where this, that and the other thing are on the stubs, it is quiet again. Praise be to Ceiling Cat.

Runespread for Today
April 2, 2008 by Avy.
this is more for me than you reader people. I don’t like that I got the sae rune twice. that wouldn’t happen offline.
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
I redid it with a specific question. I guess this is better. At least they’re all different.
![]() Laguz governs all areas concerned with emotions and how we feel concerning certain matters. This rune provides an ideal opportunity to get to the bottom of how you feel concerning certain issues and come to an understanding of why people around you behave the way they do. |
![]() Hagalaz brings with it a period of activity, disruption and change. There are likely to be many obstacles in front of you right now, but it doesn’t necessary mean in a bad way as change prevents stagnation and helps to improve our understanding of things. |
![]() This runes true meaning is “gifts of love” and is seen as a time of sharing with others whether it be in a more material way or in an emotional way. It is a time where interactions of any kind are smiled upon. |
