PIC OF THE DAY!
Photo prompt: THINGS AREN’T WHAT THEY SEEM. This is a sculpture made out of recycled cardboard. You can see it is standing on a bale of cardboard. This photo was taken last year at one of the galleries in my building. I love this place. Will be so sad to leave.
TODAY…
1. There are a million and one photos of the Festivus party from this weekend floating around on Facebook, and while I’m not too thrilled to have a bunch of party pix on FB, I am so happy to hear from lots of friends. I’m still laughing about some of the events.
2. Thankful for my great conversation with the nonprofit that I’m going to be working on a project with. This is going to be exciting, even if it doesn’t pay much of my bills.
3. Thankful for opportunity to pitch a proposal to this overseas company. Let’s see how this goes. Come on consultancy! I’d like to do this for a little while!
4. Sweet, sweet texts from the dentist I met in New Orleans waaaay back when. So cute! I wish he’d visit.
5. Thankful that the ball keeps rolling…need to keep it that way.
Yesterday the weather was so warm and delicious. Today, not so much. I’m freezing cold and should be writing this from the comfort of my warm, warm bed. And I think I’m going to do that. Hold please….
Aaah. There.
Yesterday’s entry was fun, but I have to tell you, I didn’t scratch the surface of my favorites list or bookmarks or whatever. In fact, I’d say that half of the “what I’d like to say to you…” subjects aren’t on OD (or don’t write in here, anyway). I’d love to go down my whole faves list and write a little message to everyone, and maybe someday I’ll do that.
But yesterday’s scribblings were simply thoughts as I was thinking about people. In no particular order, and I left a bunch of people I’ve been talking with and noting lately, off. So. Let’s just put it this way, I’ve got an itch to do more of them.
On a somewhat related note, I guess I’m a cyberstalker myself. I don’t know. I was thinking about K. for some reason. Wondering how he’s been doing lately. So I googled him. His name came up more than it has before, and as I scrolled through, I found MY name connected with his in a link. Of course I clicked, and found a photo of the two of us together at one of his special arty events. Yikes. I saved it. Maybe I’ll post it in a faves entry for posterity.
I found it somewhat disturbing because I had a little bit of a physical reaction when I saw it, and that reaction was not tingly good. It was like a repulsion. Weird. I mean, it wasn’t that bad, it was that I couldn’t believe that I thought of him as boyfriend potential not so long ago. Now I was shuddering at the thought.
To make matters even more strange, K. sent me a text today telling me that he was dropping off his magazines at my building this afternoon. At the coffee shop. So I met him for some tea.
Yep. I saw K. today. I didn’t barf, but it was kind of bizarre because it totally felt like he was simply a friend and NEVER my lover.
PLUS! As further evidence to my cyberstalkedness, I’d checked his publications FB fan page (of which I am a fan) that had revealed some information that led me to believe K. was sleeping with the woman he’d dated before me. Reason I deduced this? He told me that he’d dated a particular woman he’d done business with before me, and they’d had such a tumultuous personal relationship that the business stuff fell through when they stopped seeing each other.
So his pub’s fan page had mentioned something about their (the two companies) event together, and I KNEW that they’d kissed and made up….and then some.
Bottom line? Eh. There is no bottom line. I was really not phased by our meeting one way or the other, and in the end, the cyberstalking turned out to be kind of for naught (though I do like our photo!). Little bit of time wasted. But I’m glad we met for tea.
I heard from CC today too.
And Marco, the dentist I met in New Orleans.
And Las Vegas Guy (from years and years and years ago)…
See? Networking can be fun!
I also networked with Arthur (from the nonprofit project) and I’m excited about that, but still don’t want to write about it until it’s a done deal.
In the meantime…
Found this on Glamour.com/Horoscopes :
You tend to think of yourself as an emotional wreck, but there’s a logical explanation for your obsessiveness. You’re intensely emotional and mystically sexual (oh, those eyes!). No need to apologize. The key to your spiritual maintenance is finding healthful outlets for your passion, creativity, artistry and sensitivity. Yours is perhaps the most powerful sign of the zodiac. Take care not to surrender to Scorpio’s darker side. You have the capacity to self-destruct and to destroy others. Your fear of losing control can wreak havoc, because it may induce you to grab power or attempt to control others excessively. When you’re not doing well, you tend to detach and retreat from human contact. That’s bad news because your intensity diffuses among groups. Sharing is vital to your long-term bliss. Your best match is someone who shares your interest in metaphysics and is charmed by your ethereal, fanciful musings. Don’t batter yourself for your insecurities and emotional instabilities. Think of it as the cost of being a deep thinker. Your philosophies on such topics as survival, life’s deeper meanings and reincarnation couldn’t have become so highly evolved without a dose of depression. Still, you’ll be fine. Your resourcefulness, work ethic, strength, courage and efficiency are your saving graces.
