It is 1:03am and I'm still awake because I drank a huge cup of tea about two hours ago.  I should know
better; tea has caffeine in it too.  Oh well, I got some of my chart work finished.  

Lou and family should be in by 4pm today.  I can't wait to see them.  I'm making spaghetti, meat balls,
sausage, and sauce.  For dessert; gingerbread with lemon curd and ice cream.  

Aug. 12, 2010.  It is Thursday and the festivities have begun!  Yesterday all my in-laws ( the nine who were
coming) arrived from Chicago at Noon.  It is so good to see them.  Uncle Joe (Len's brother) came with a
bevy of females; Elsie (his sister), her three daughters; Susan, Linda, Cindy, and Dini and three of their girl
children; Cindy's Nicolette and Christa and Dini's daughter Dina.  What a beautiful family. I made lunch and
they went to Emerald Grand about 5pm.  They'll all be back today for a steak dinner.  Then, tonight is the
bachelor party.
What a week!  What a wedding!  What a world!  This has been one of the happiest times of my life;  to see
my first grandchild married to a wonderful lady!  I will put some pictures up on my "About Me" page. I will
get more pictures later, I'm sure.  I'm still recuperating, so I'll write more, too, later.

Tues. Aug. 17. 2010.  This Jupiter/Saturn opposition is right on my own Moon opposition Saturn in the 3rd
House of communication and ruling my 1st and 7th Houses of me and my partner.  I find myself angry at
everything.  Nothing seems fair and I'm really wanting to tell people off, but in a very sarcastic way.  Like
this morning when I read that 61 Iraquis were killed as they were signing up to be a part of Iraq's army; by a
suicide bomber (one of their own).  Man, that really got me.  I wrote to that stupid head and all the stupid
heads over there, 'Haven't all the virgins been used yet?' I had to erase it; it was a cruel thing to say and I
couldn't use sarcasm for such a serious event.  I am so sorry for those 61 and their families. It makes me
so sad and so angry; there is NO justice and my Libra Moon demands JUSTICE!

I'll be glad when this aspect is over although I'm sure it retrogrades back and forth a lot.  I really haven't
looked yet.  "...Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34

This aspect has also brought arthritis back in my life.  I guess I'm hardening in my attitudes and need to
loosen up.  Do y'a think?

Well, if that isn't a great description of a Moon/Saturn opposition, I don't know what is. It's all wrapped up in
"Mother," abandonment issues and, in my case, the 7th House matters.  Ok, I'll give myself one more day
to whine about this and then it's OVER!

Interesting to me is that I started this Moon cycle happier than I've ever been; it sure has deteriorated
quickly!  Aspects one relates to can really do it to you; to me that is!

Wed. Aug. 18, 2010.  Had one of my silly dreams last night.  I found myself in the building my Dad used to
own, but it had changed into an apartment building.  There was a security guard at the ground floor and I
had to radio him what floor I was on.  I went to the 8th floor, but that wasn't the floor I wanted; it was 4.  I got
back into the elevator and pressed go instead of 4.  I stopped the elevator on 6.  I radioed the man and told
him, 'I started at 8, ended up on 6, and now I'm going to 4.'  He was mumbling something I couldn't hear so I
went on down to 4.  The apartment that I was going to was way down a dark hall, facing the hall.
Gibbous Moon

This is the lunar time to review, clarify and edit.  Looking at my dream, I could title it, " Going to the wrong
floor!"  It has a bit of impatience in it as well as carelessness because I push "go" rather than 4.  That's me
ok!  I'm taking a wonderful course from SpiritualityandPractice.com which is called The Mussar
Pathway to Everyday Holiness and my prime Middah is Impatience.  I'm sure I have others, but impatience
is my strongest fault.

So my dream is telling me that I still need to slow down and not waste so much time going to the wrong
place.  Too, it was interesting that I didn't get the security man to repeat himself.  He may have been telling
me something about floor 4 that I needed to know.  I simply hung up on him. That tells me something about
how I view authority or security or other people's voice.  That's a biggie, too, for me.  I love this course.

It's really funny to me, but the last course I took was Wisdom of the Rebbes and we were supposed to keep
our dreams and discuss them in a forum.  I had no dreams.  NOW I dream!
Pisces Full Moon
Tues. Aug. 24, 2010.                                                                      Keywords:  Signed, sealed, stamped.
Thurs. Aug 26, 2010.  Looks like I skipped the intentions, hopes and wishes this month. So many things
got in the way of jotting them down.  Of course, I wished Angel and Joey all the happiness in the world
and that the travellers got home safely.  All that came about so I'm very grateful.

I am having a problem, however, with the course I'm taking with SpiritualityandPractice.com.  It is a four
week course with a new subject discussed each Monday.  This Monday it was about enthusiasm and
laziness.  Maybe one day would have been fine, but the theme was continued on Wednesday.  

One of my really sore points is whether or not I am lazy.  I have had guilt feelings all my life because I have
very little motivation in many areas of life.  Especially when one is Catholic and educated by Nuns, one
can get touchy concerning laziness.  I've always been told that I had so much talent and didn't use it.  
What the hell does that mean?  Then, Jesus said, "To whom much is given; much is expected." Oh boy,
does that hurt! I have never felt that I've ever done enough anytime for anyone; I've always come up short.

Then I marry an Italian who's a working fool.  He loves work; says it's what is keeping him alive.  He feels
that I don't do enough physical labor around the house and that is always between us.  Every day his
disappointment in what I do hangs heavy on my shoulders.  He never misses a beat telling me all that he
does around the house and how little I do.  It's true; I don't clean like I used to and I do spend most of my
time studying, or writing, or reading.  I'm a computato.  However, that's what I love to do and if he loves to
work, so be it.  I don't!  And, I don't want to be motivated out of my laziness to do so.  Why should I rev up
phoney enthusiasm for something I don't want to do?  I was a Martha spirit for nearly half a century; now  I
simply want to do my Mary thing and get out of the kitchen.  I just wish I didn't feel guilty about it.
Disseminating Moon

Looks like all that I do on this page is show 'n tell. It's raining like blazes today and I've taken Lily, my dog,
out twice for a walk and she hasn't gone doggie poo yet.  Guess I'll find a little pile tomorrow morning.  
Only three more days in this month and I'll be glad to see it go.  It's been too hot and rainy for my taste.  

I wonder what's going on at the Beck rally?  I guess the TV will show it on the news tonight.  I'll have to
look a bit, I guess.  As I said on my Disseminating page this morning; Beck scares me to death.  I do not
like the man and I don't trust him at all even with all his tears.  I put him right up there with all the bigots and
radicals on the right.  Not all Republicans are bigots and radicals; please don't get me wrong.  But, there
is a group that I call " 21st Century Pharisees" and those are.  They certainly are not followers of Jesus no
matter what they scream and yell or how often they go to church. They are hypocrites to the core.

I  just read the latest concerning Beck's rally.  He asked his audience to pray more. "I ask, not only if you
would pray on your knees, but pray on your knees but with your door open for your children to see," he
said.

Whatever happened to Jesus' "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to
pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men.
Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room [inner room,
closet, center chamber], and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret
place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

I don't see any children mentioned there.  If you want to include children, why not teach them to pray and
let them join you, not watch you.  I don't get Beck at all.

Tues. Aug. 31, 2010.  Well, at least 300,000 people get Beck enough to fill D.C. in support of his rag.  It
makes me incredibly sad and almost lose hope in people's good sense.  We've had radicals before
who've whipped up the people's emotions with tears and religious doggerel.  300,000 is a drop in the
bucket next to how many watched the TV evangelists who fell from grace because of their hypocrisy.  

I'm not saying Glen Beck is a hypocrite, but he's a rabble rouser to those who believe themselves to be
the elite and righteous.  They believe that God is on their side and that's a dangerous belief. They must
also believe that "their neighbor" means only those who live on their block and go to their church.

Fri.  Sep. 3, 2010.  It's taken me awhile to release and let go.  There was never any question of having to
forgive; that is not my place concerning Glenn Beck.  (I wonder why the extra n? It sounds the same with
one.) He being he and me being me and, probably, never the twain shall meet.  What the heck does
twain mean?  Oh, it must mean "two".   Hah, I was right!  
twain an archaic word for two
[Old English twēgen; related to Old Saxon twēne, Old High German zwēne, Old Norse tveir, Gothic twai]

I wish life were always that easy ( to be right). It's certainly better than being wrong.

Don't know what's with me today; just being silly.  I guess I'm hungry.

Sat. Sep. 4, 2010.  REALLY NICE NEWS!  Northwest Florida State College in Niceville, FL has
installed the only recycling machine in all of the State colleges.  (It really is nice there!)  I hope the other
colleges will follow suit.  What great news!  Offer it up, ladies and gentlemen
This morning was the first break in our weather since May of this year;  it was in the high 60s this
morning.  Hallelujah!
