Scattered Thoughts

We bought a new computer. My computer and then hubby downloaded a virus into his computer. We haven't gotten the other computer fixed yet so we're back to sharing a computer. *sigh* So, that's the reason the blogs don't get updated as often as I'd like. Of course I have plenty to say, I am female after all!
It's been a great summer so far. We had our biggest group ever for Beltane and the ritual was wonderful. The fellowship was even better! Our congregation is ever growing slowly. Of course, we understand that everyone is busy with work and families. Spiritual fellowship isn't as important as it used to be when I was a kid.
We've started a SpiralScouts group with the Sanctuary as sponsor. So far, we have 2 Fireflies and 1 Spiral Scout in the group. Being at this end of the county seems to restrict the number of people we draw to our events sometimes. And have you noticed how busy kids are?? Soccer, school, play dates, homework, dance, I could go on, you get the idea!
We've finally gotten the pool to clear, the algae was winning for a while, but it looks like tomorrow afternoon I will be able to try out the new float I bought and start swimming every day again!
We're dieting. I'm having trouble understanding some of the recommendations in these (millions) of diet plans. For example: eat more... eat this miracle food... keep your calories up... don't miss a meal... Isn't that what got me in trouble in the first place? And since when is anorexia a disease of obesity? I'm a Certified Sports Nutritionist and a retired Body Builder, so I certainly understand the nutritional aspects of dieting! Where in all of these diets does it say,"get up off your butt and go DO something"?
Next up, Litha or Summer Solstice, one of my favorites! I'm addicted to summer, i suppose. I can't think of enough reasons to stay in the house. The gardens look great, the inside... well we'll get to that one day when it's raining! haha. We have a party planned for the Solstice. A pot luck- pool party! I'm so excited, we've been planning to have a pool party since we got married, and we're finally going to have one. The invitations were sent out through facebook. (Isn't everything through facebook any more?)
I worked last night and woke up tho the smell of sunshine. Yes, I really can smell sunshine! Started a load of wash before heading out to the hammock to finish my nap and realized there was a puddle on the carpet in the Art room. The puddle is Way to big to blame the dog (and besides, he was in the bedroom with me). It seems there is something wrong with the Hot Water Heater. Hubby is in working on it now, while I watch the store. I think I'm really glad I've only got one more night this week....

Maybe I've finally gotten everything caught up to date now...
