A bunch of us had a fun carouse last night...

Some friends and I ended up at the Gasthaus in Northeast last night, clinking huge steins of Octoberfest beer and singing in nonsensical German. Oh Ja!! The Beer! The Schnitzel! The more beer!!! The Black Forest torte!The David Hasselhoff jokes!! The ninja jokes with forks! The Beeeeeeeer!!!

Funny, I didn't even end up with a hangover. Though I now officially have a head cold.
*sneezes into Kleenex*
Eeew.

I've also got a skein of hand-spun Alpaca yarn drying on my shower rod. My first spun wool!!! Okay, it's kinda lumpy and not very big, but it's definitely a start, and I think I'm definitely getting the hang of things. I think it'll be enough for some really interesting trim on a hat. (It's only about 40 feet of yarn or so--not enough for a scarf, but possibly enough for a pair of mittens.) This weekend I'm going on a field trip with friends to a couple of alpaca farms to see if I can get more to spin.

But today, I think I'll just goof off with some tea and yarn and the occasional cold-zapping healing catnap.....

Okay, couldn't help myself...

Plus, they used Ben the Neighbor's favorite deck...


You are the Empress card. The Empress is the
archetype of the Mother. She creates and
nurtures life. She represents the abundance of
Mother Earth. The Empress is capable of using
nature in a productive way. She espouses art
for art's sake. Her planet is Venus, and she
embodies love of beauty and a strong value
system. Here is also found initial sensation.
This is the first really physical experience of
the world that The Fool has entered. The
Empress has a rich understanding of the world
based on her five senses. In a reading, The
Empress represents pregnancy, actual or
metaphorical. She indicates an act of creation
and a sensual experience of beauty. The Empress
is a nurturing force that wishes to see the
product of her experiences reach the next stage
of development. Image from A Photographic Tarot
