Shopping, talking, eating, gaming

[crowdog66]

Picked up all that incense I recently arranged to buy from a local dealer. WOW! An ounce is a LOT more than I expected, especially in the frankincense and copal! This will keep me going for a VERY long time, and the blackberry port Kyphi smells utterly delicious. I'll lobby with the gang to use some in our Imbolc ritual tomorrow, since Imbolc is associated with the goddess Brigid and blackberries are one of her correspondences.

I'd forgotten what a kind, nice person said dealer was (the last time I saw him was almost a decade ago). I suggested to him that my husband and I might want to get together with him and his partner for coffee sometime -- perhaps to pick up a copy of the panpipes CD he's going to be releasing come March or April. He actually played for me while I was there, and it was just lovely.

Then out for lunch and on a shopping trip to Zellers with Terri, who as usual was very good about letting me use her car to haul home huge amounts of groceries. Got insane amounts of Folgers coffee on sale as well as some storage containers for all the incense I just picked up. Also picked up four small bags of Frito Lay pork rinds, because they have pretty much zero carbs. However... well, let me put it this way: "epidermis puffs" is what they are, and that's what they taste like too. :-P They're one of the strangest taste experiences I've ever had; it took me a good five minutes of eating them to decide that in fact, no, I did not actually like them. Now I have to find someone who DOES like them to take them off my hands...

Terri was also nice enough to go through the Full Moon Fundraising box and take some items, leaving a contribution. Thanks, Terri! :-)

I got home just in time to take a call from he_dreams_awake, which turned out to be a lovely conversation. We'll be talking again next Sunday, although I'll have to ask him to shift the call back about 30 minutes (to 5 pm) because my GM wants to game a half an hour earlier than usual. I signed off with him, whipped on my coat, and dashed out to dinner with the AD&D gaming group (pizza, mmmm, pizza), followed by an all-evening game session at Jeff's place.

Not a bad day all in all, but I am nonetheless quite tired and more than a little depressed. Hormones, I suppose. Hopefully I'll be feeling a bit better tomorrow for the ritual.

hehehe..remind me not to read this early in the morning. My eyes were still blurry when i read "buy from a local dealer..an ounce is way more than i expected" and i didn't catch the fact that it was incense. Somehow i couldn't picture you dealing in narcotics LOL..i've been in child welfare too long already! ha.

Pork rinds seem to be an american phenomena. They are everywhere there. I find them disgusting, and the premise disgusting..it's pork, and a chip! Sounds like something homer simpson would invent.

Someone at work brought these chocolate bars that have zero carbs. They didn't taste like chocolate, but tasted good. I'll try to find out what they were as they were diabetic friendly.

That was a wonderful conversation. *hugs you* Thank you for that. I stand in awe of you: and will until I'm no longer aware of the world enough to think, I'm pretty sure.
