Rolling Papers And The Universe


Rolled papers all day yesterday
Taking these and others up to
Goat Feathers booth this week.

Today I think I'll paint some
word canvas, right after I go to market.
I've been out of staples for days.
No milk, juice, bread, eggs..zippo
Tried to figure out a dish made solely
from condiments, but....
I have an entire fridge door of condiments
and no bleeping food!

Anyone else hate market shopping?
I hate getting dressed to go 2 blocks.
If I look really bad,
sans makeup and wearing paint or food
 splattered clothes,
you can GUARANTEE I'll see
someone snotty I do not wish to see,
and word will spread that I really am unkempt 
unless at work..
At work, both jobs, I also get really dirty
 so 
perhaps I am unusually and frequently unkempt. 
Do I care?
Not a fig.

This week?
I'm plunging head first into painting 
my kitchen cabinets,
or should I say repainting?
I painted them about 15 years ago.
I have a week off from both jobs, so

I am going Grey!
I was thinking of grey but when I 
and met this lively, oh so friendly gal,
 and then spied a color 
Pittsburgh Grey..
"It's a sign"



I was hooked.
The universe was talking.

I stood there debating
and while listening to Josie give us directions and 
hints and ideas freely with none of that
other gobbeldy gook you get elsewhere in
other shops selling paint, I thought...

Even though it is NOT in my budget,
I am going to support this woman and 
her independent small business.
I gladly plunked down the cash
and I know I will be thrilled.

and THEN
quite by chance
and here is where the universe comes back in.
My First boss told me about Josie's shop
and that is why I stopped in.
I go to my other job the next day 
and tell Second Boss
about this great shop I went to,
 and about painting my cabinets.

Second Boss is doing an auction later that week,
 and meets a paint gal there and gives her 
her card as introduction.
The paint gal says she just met a Suzan 
who works at the auction place.
You guessed it!
Second Boss just met Josie!

When the universe speaks
Pay Attention.
