Childish (and possibly offensive) humor @ 5am

So, I am not a morning person at all. Occasionally, I have a string of 5:30am-2:00pm shifts at work. They are not my favorite, the only blessing is that they seem to go fast. In my opinion, 5am is a better time to go to sleep than to get up. this means that I can be grumpy or silly (or both).

I was thinking of my current product line this morning (and just realized that my scrub top was on inside out) and wondering if it was self-limiting or if I would get tired of it. I love the fairy tale and fantasy theme, and chose it because it suits me, but… Then, I figured I could make it work. I could always remake stuff I really liked; it didn’t have to always be the same, and I could always go back to my favorite book of all time Grimm’s Fairy Tales and find new inspiration, like….. “The Golden Ass.”

That was incredibly funny, so I had to share with DH. He was not as amused, but I couldn’t let it go. A little while later, I said, “Maybe, I could just make it for you.” Then a while after that, “I think it should have a crack in it.”

To which, he replied, emphatically, “You are not making Gold Ass soap.”

“It’s 5am. You can’t convince me of anything.”

WICCA: A Portrait

Wicca is a vital, contemporary spiritual path reviving the ancient, pre-Christian indigenous religion of Europe. It is a life-affirming Earth religion which is both old and new, “traditional,” and vibrantly creative. Wiccans experience the Divine as immanent, as embodied in the Universe, the world in all its aspects and in humanity, as well as transcendent. Therefore all of life is perceived as sacred and interconnected. Modern Wicca incorporates ancient and modern liturgy, ritual and shamanic practices by which people attune themselves to the natural rhythms of the Earth and the Universe, enabling them to experience communion with the embodied Divine. Wiccans honor nature as a profound spiritual teacher and devote themselves to the contemplation and integration of the spiritual wisdom inherent in the Earth’s cycles of seasonal transformation.
