it feels like a crazy hectic morning already and i haven't even really got started yet. i left both my work notebook and my datebook at home. thus i am feeling a little unanchored. even virgos need their anchors. then i found that one of my lipstick things had opened in my bag. great. expensive red goop is not the aethtic of everything i need on a daily basis. fun. i do however have an outfit that i really like on, and am clean and showered and smell like fresh grass (thanks to final_girl) so it's not all bad. in fact i am in a really good mood, i just FEEL like a spaz.

maybe i just need more coffee. coffee. coffee. coffee. coffee.

Coffee is good. Fresh grass-smelling monkeys are even better. :)

Coffee does not really help (me) to anchor. Deep breathing helps (me) to anchor... as does smiling at the wonderful bits of magic and beauty to which the rest of the world often seems oblivious (like, say, the pigeon that visited my class last night when they were in the middle of heat-induced panic and anger -- their backs were to the windows, so they could not see the visitor, which sat and observed us in our madness for several minutes in all his purplish-grey glory...)

you are awesome
just wanted to say
(but i still love coffee)
;)

really though, a combination of trees, air, deep breath and coffee is just about the best anchor ever for me...

let's hope the weekend holds a lot of all four!

Oh, so, lemme just say that I am a complete and total coffee addict, unrepentant and un-quit, so I'm definitely not advocating a coffee-less monkey. Just saying, you know, sometimes when I'm ungrounded, coffee doesn't help me so much to _ground_, come down into my feet, you know? It does, however, help me to love the whole goddamn world with abandon, for about as long as the caffeine rush lasts... which can have a grounding effect, or if nothing else, help me laugh a little easier for awhile.

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't coming across as judgmental or anything... maybe that comment was as much a reminder for myself to get to some of the other things that are grounding for this grrlbody...

so good to see you this weekend! and I'm all excited/wanna hear more about your scents... where do they come from?
