Today is a red day...

...at least according to my 2009 Llewellyn Witches Datebook. I don't have anything red that is clean (all in dirty laundry hamper) but I am wearing a shirt that has red in it. Guess that counts...

Also read that "The Germanic goddess Nerthus is the embodiment of fertile Earth, worshipped in sacred groves."

Nerthus

by Micha F. Lindemans

A Teutonic goddess of fecundity, peace and wealth, possibly hermaphroditic in nature. She was worshipped in a sacred groove on an island in the North Sea or the Baltic Sea (possible Sjaeland), but the center of her worship was in Denmark. With the arrival of spring her image was carried about on a sacred, covered wagon drawn by oxen among the neighboring tribes. The name Nerthus is related to the Greek nerteroi ("gods of the underworld"), and with Njord, the Norse god of the sea. Nerthus is believed to mingle with humans.

Happy September.

Heard from Z - she forgot that we were supposed to go downtown today but will be by to pick me up in a little while after she runs a couple of errands. I'm debating on whether I should bring my camera or not. I hope we won't have any trouble.

Sharky's motorcycle really needs to be worked on, and its not just a couple hour job. *sigh*

Need to title the "Purple Tranny" so we can sell it. (Yes, that is now the name of the jeep that has been foisted upon us...) It would be kinda nice to keep it, but we're already $500 in the hole for it and it will take a lot more before it's street ready.

Found out that B's boyfriend C has some Dead Can Dance and is letting me borrow it, along with some Loreena McKennitt. He's such a sweetheart.

My email box is all full of crap again. Like everything else, as soon as it gets emptied, it fills up again.

Fixed the Guild's forum the other day. What a relief, now there is no longer 100s of spam messages (porn and prescriptions *rolls eyes*) waiting for me every morning. Now, I just have to get back online and start playing again. It will be nice without nosy parkers and vultures (aka my children) hanging over me telling me what to do.

Absolutely have to work on the living room this weekend. Boys are bringing textbooks home and are starting to clutter up the area again. When I bring that chest in, we are going to use one drawer for stuff like that so its easily accessible but not all over the place. I wish we could paint it first, but that is not going to happen for a while. Same with those bookcases. Hopefully Sharky has some good sized bolts in the garage that he can use to fasten the bookcases together. We're also going to need some type of anchor to hook it to the wall for safety reasons.

Dreamtime:

I was getting dressed for a dance at school, painting my eyes Egyptian, wearing a long black dress and black cat ears. I knew I was late, but I was hurrying as fast as I could. I got in our old Dodge Ram and called my old friend Kim for directions and she asked why I was calling her since she didn't know, so I called Stacey. Stacey told me not to bother, there was only 10 minutes left and everyone was already leaving. I then found myself driving home in the Dodge with a son in the front seat. I told him to call his dad and ask him if he wants us to bring home any food from a fast food place. Sharky said no, since he was cooking us a "top shelf butt steak" for dinner.
