Well, it's taking me ages to get anything posted here lately it feels like.  I have soooooo many posts to share.  My little Banjo has consumed my week with all his little needs.  It's been the sweetest thing in the world though, and probably exactly what I need.  It's been so fun to play mommy and give him tons of love and nurturing.  He is already growing and changing so much right before my eyes, its incredible.  I know I'm going to be missing these sweet kitten moments not too far down the road.  I can't even imagine how much he is going to change while I'm on vacation!  James is going to have send me a million photos while I'm away.

I'm sure many of you have seen the beauty that is Shovava.  If not, here is her amazing Owl scarf.  Her work is so stunning.  I love that it is all hand painted and then printed onto the scarves.  Blows my mind.  The owl on this scarf is so incredibly beautiful.  I love the earthy tones.  If I can ever find enough room on my walls, I might have to hang him up somewhere in my home when I'm not wearing it. 

Besides kitty watching, this weekend we got to see our friend Christie who moved to Cali, and we got to meet her fiance for the first time.  Every time she comes home she has a huge get together at a local bar in town, so we met up there for the night on Friday.  It was so nice seeing her for a bit and getting to know Mark.  Great people.  And the next day they got to stop by our house and meet little Banjo!  I mean, how could they resist???  That evening we had tickets to a show, and even though we were so tired and didn't really feel like going out we did.  We saw Into It Over It and Minus the Bear, and some good friends of ours went too.  I felt like such an old lady.  We had to stand and wait for two hours before the bands played, and by that time I was already so over it and just wanted to be home.  I barely enjoyed any of the show.  My feet hurt, I was tired, and I just wanted to be home with my kitty, while I was surrounded by 100's of people enjoying the hell out of the show.  I was like, man what is wrong with me?  Why can't I just enjoy myself like everyone else?  I realized the next day my moon was in my 12th house (retreat time), and it all made sense.  I felt so uncomfortable being around so many people.  My hermit side was full out, and I felt like a foreigner plucked and placed in a sea of people.  It's hard to explain, and maybe only another empath hermit type would understand.  But I was screaming inside to get out of there.  But of course I wanted our friends to enjoy the show, so I stuck it out.  I spent the entire next day taking cat naps and laying on the couch.  Totally wiped out. 

Today I feel like I'm waking back up.  I have time to play catch up on posts and emails.  The kitty is not crying anymore.  Bella is chilling outside.  James is at work.  Once he gets home well be busting out more shirts.  Any free moment weve had this week and all next week well be making shirts to get caught up before I leave.  So, I'm taking advantage of this sweet time I have this morning to work on my own little to do list. 

I just posted the new moon astrology reports from Aquarius Nation over on the Bohemian Collective.  Go check them out!!!
