The Gypsy on Adventure

Another Quiz only on Tarot

You are the Fool card. The Fool fearlessly begins
the journey into the unknown. To do this, he
does not regard the world he knows as firm and
fixed. He has a seemingly reckless disregard
for obstacles. In the Ryder-Waite deck, he is
seen stepping off a cliff with his gaze on the
sky, and a rainbow is there to catch him. In
order to explore and expand, one must disregard
convention and conformity. Those in the throes
of convention look at the unconventional,
non-conformist personality and think What a
fool. They lack the point of view to understand
The Fool's actions. But The Fool has roots in
tradition as one who is closest to the spirit
world. In many tribal cultures, those born with
strange and unusual character traits were held
in awe. Shamans were people who could see
visions and go on journeys that we now label
hallucinations and schizophrenia. Those with
physical differences had experience and
knowledge that the average person could not
understand. The Fool is God. The number of the
card is zero, which when drawn is a perfect
circle. This circle represents both emptiness
and infinity. The Fool is not shackled by
mountains and valleys or by his physical body.
He does not accept the appearance of cliff and
air as being distinct or real. Image from: Mary

Which Tarot Card Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

The Emperor

============
THE EMPEROR
============

The Emperor, the mate of last week's Empress, makes up part of a duality of manifestation. Through him, we see that solidity and perseverance, as well as wielding your experiential power, can take us further down the path we're all walking as artists and as humans. We also see that compassion through shared experience is power in itself, and that one should not be afraid to stand up for one's work and one's self in order to achieve our goals.

This week, buckle down and use some of that authority you have in there. You're an expert in your own life, and if you use that, the stability of the mountains can be yours for the taking. Get out there and create, folks!

Hair

Ha! I decided to have my hair cut...it was a day from hell...so I was nervous that my hair cut would go as well as my day was going! I would swear it was a full moon without the full moon! What a week!

Last time I got my hair cut in March, I told the gal it was ok to take off 5 inches and she butchered me by taking off NINE inches that sent me to my bed depressed and crying for 2 days! So I was very nervous about meeting a new guy to cut my CURLY hair! There is a difference with CURLY hair! You take off 3 inches and it looks like 6 inches were taken off!

So Larry, thats my new hair guru, who is FABOO! At least I feel that way tonight...I will see tomorrow as my hair is trying to dry with my new layers screaming in shock to behave I am sure! Anyway, Larry has long CURLY hair as well! Ah, sigh of relief, a stylist that LIKES LONG HAIR! This is important, because I find that some stylist (Not all mind you) but some DO NOT like long hair or have long hair ENVY! So they just have to ruin YOUR long hair! Which is why up until this year I had not cut my hair in over SEVEN years! I had the fear of secret long hair hate!

What I liked about him was when he said "I get that people with long hair don't secretly want short hair, they like their long hair!" Finger to nose! You got it! I LIKE my long hair! : )

Larry understood about my fear...and that question...how do you want me to style it!? GAH! I have been racking my brain trying to think, so I asked everyone I could bother...Bangs? NO Bangs? Finally I decided against bangs...Larry said that was a good idea because the bangs are difficult with CURLY hair and very high maintenance, I decided I did not want the maintenance and dealing with bangs every day! So we went for the very LONG layered look! He only took off an inch from the back, because my hair is healthy, and then he did the LONG layers. I laughed because he used the same goops for my hair that I use! *grin* so at least I know my stuff works!

I am happy tonight...the test will be in the morning...

Speaking different languages!

This is a photo of Pallie and I taken this year, the woman I adopted to be my mother over 10 years ago! Whats amazing me is how people talking on email can misunderstand eachother with out meaning to! By the way she calls me Greedy.

It started out:
Greedy,
Today I read your journal, very interesting. I know that the heat wave, gaining weight, balancing your checkbook, sick cat, boredom, crummy moods are all the things we have to put up. When I am feeling down, sorry for myself, blue and just plain shitty I bring my thoughts back to my dear friend Gwen, whose days are numbered. You are a very beautiful, talented, intelligent woman and you are going to have days that you wish you could blank out but be thankful even for those days and say to yourself "I know this is temporary and this too will pass" and it always does. How's this for a novel idea, buy yourself a window air conditioner for your bedroom'; that way you could at least get a good nights sleep. You see, I have the opposite problem, even tho we had a long hot summer, periodically I had to go outside to warm up, wear ear muffs and mittens in the house (try hand sewing with them on) because Bob keeps the house at sub zero. He works outside all day in the blazing heat and wants to be cool when he comes in. I'm having Bob take pictures of our addition and will get them off to you. Gotta run. Love ya, Mom

So I send back:
Pallie Woman!
So all you got from my journal was whining???? Wow...maybe I should stop writing all together! Because I thought it was more than just whining!!! ???

Michael DID NOT want to put in a window air conditioner...then he got mad cause I bought the portable...then I got mad cause it didn't work...and he got to say I told you so...the heat makes me so sick!

You are a very beautiful, talented, intelligent woman ... Well thank you for saying that! We never feel that way about ourselves. I am off to get ready for work....Love ya! Greedy

She vollied with:
Girlfriend,
It always amazes me as to what each of us get out of each other words. I did not think you were whining. I was only trying to point out how lucky we are compared to some others. I found your journal very interesting and and very you. I wish I could let go of some of my inner feelings as well as you do, in other words, think a little more outside the box. I try to remind myself that our "health" is really the most important thing but that doesn't always work for me. I know it to be true but when you are in the middle of a pile of doo doo sometimes it is hard to get out. When are you coming up? Does Michael know the shower rule? tee hee What is Michael going to do while we are doing our thing? Tell him to bring some old clothes, Bob will put him to work. I don't cook much any more so be thinking of some things that we can make that are quick and easy. Love ya, Mom

Note: The shower rule is who ever is the last to shower has to DRY THE SHOWER! I ALWAYS get stuck with this chore when I am there! LOL

More from Her:
Hows this for an idea! Less Tarot carding and more garbage bagging????? (I have been making her a thread garbage bag for the last 2 years...crazy quilted...all I have to do is sew it up now!)

I laughed so hard at my last message I almost wet my pants, I love my own jokes. Mom

If it wasn't for me, who would keep you on the straight and narrow and your head OUT of the clouds? Tell Michael, I will expect some computer lessons. Mom

I am so glad she is in my life even when we misunderstand each other! : )

whenever you come over.


What Kind of Elitist Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

It is not true that my friends feel that they have to clean my house before I come over...they think I am non-judgemental! LOL

Zines

Zines! They are my new little obsession this year...I LOVE these zine's. Some are outsider artists, some are just faboo artists! This happens to be Chrissy Howes Artista Zine, I am actually a member of her Yahoo group!

This little zine came today and I was so excited ~ it was wrapped in FABRIC! Whoot!

Time to get off the computer and run to my bed to hide and read the new zine! Happy feet!

First Fall day!

This was my view from laying on the couch! Oh what joy for me today! I woke up went to check on the furry babies and heard RAIN! Oh! It is raining! I ran around the house singing "It's raining its pouring the old man is snoring!" and ran outside to stand in it!

How glorious! RAIN! A perfect day! A day I have been waiting for ALL summer! The coming of Fall! The coming of first rain! And my honi made me a faboo fire in the fire place as you can see. Oh...warm day cuddly day!

Nice hot coffee...nice hot fire...and a few DVDs to get me through the day! Some things gotta give, When Harry Met Sally, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Peterpan!!! A few episodes of Bewitched on the 40th anniversary! Then I watched I married a witch, which started the whole series on TV...

What a nice weekend! Friends, good food and lots of laughter yesterday, and today RAIN!!!! Life is so good!

Pout

This is what happens when your boyfriend is UNcooperative! I wanted a photo of him...he kept dodging me and poking me which is why a bad photo of my purse is there! Sigh...nice blond hair though! LOL The ones I took waiting to get into dinner were worse...sigh... some times he is just poopy!

My girl friend Linda S

My girl friend Linda who has been dealing with Liver cancer came to play at my house today with the rest of the Crazy Ladies...and she had some incredible news! Her new doctor has told her after the newest catscan she may be able to have surgery to remove the cancer in her liver! The other doctor told her that was NOT a possibility. So if the cancer is too big, they will do chemo first and then the surgery. If it is still small, they will do the surgery!

I just want to go on the record to say that I want to be in line to slap the first doctor who obviously does not care about his patients! Fucker! Now at least we have some hope!

She brought us all flowers in celebration! : )

Lyn for Carolyn

Lyn, I tried to email you but it came back with a failure...give me your email and I will be able to let you know how Carolyn is, or attempt to reach her at her Tutu America email...Gypsy
