*Everyone has probably heard the phrase, “she’s on a roll!”  Well, around The Burrow we say it slightly differently.  It can be “fresh as a biscuit” as in “he is not smelling as fresh as a biscuit today.”  Or “look out, they’re on a biscuit now!”  Sometimes it’s just biscuit used the way the Smurfs use “smurf”-tossed in all over the damn place.  (Thanks Fokker, for that reminder.)

           There are others, many others.  One, and I was going to explain this earlier, I think I said something about it in the comments about a month or so ago, is how I say Willie Nelson instead of willy nilly.  Yeah, I’m all kinds of special.  And often in that WTF?! type of way, not nearly as amusing as I think I am!

              Crap, yesterday I totally forgot to mention my double cake bounty.  (What with Empress and Max and the excitement of laundry day, I think I can be excused for missing a few hot spots in my daily gathering of scattered thoughts.)  I made mention of this in the comments from Mars-day, but I’ll explain further now.

           Daniel works nights.  Which means he sleeps in the days.  Well, sometimes he gets subpoenaed to attend court.  (Not always his cases, sometimes it just happens to be something he’s rolled up on, like this incident recently.)  We need to adjust when this occurs.  It can be a massive pain in the ass.  Or it can be very convenient, like a court date on a Friday morning.  He works all night Thursday, is still dressed and awake, and rolls into the court house, fine.  Then he goes home and goes to bed, no work Friday night, so no big deal. 

           This latest one was a huge big deal.  And royally pissed me off.  Until, he brought me cake.  Two times!  When he stopped in at their office, either coming from or going to court, a retirement reception was going on, and those cops were not eating nearly enough cake.  He put one hunk into a paper bowl and brought it home to me (and Axel, who always loves To Go containers).  Then I made Dan go to bed.  It was not more than three hours before he had to get  up and start his day.  (See why I was angry?) 

          He went back to work that night, and at some point was back in the office again.  Well…. still some left over cake.  Knowing his beloved wife as well as he does (and knowing his dog), he packed up another paper bowl.  Around two o’clock, in the a. of m. he had the occasion to drop by the house.  (This sometimes happens if he is on this end of town and needs a short break, or a beverage, or just to pick up equipment.)  In he walks, with more cake!!!  The Grim and I were most grateful.  It was not the BEST cake in the world, but hey… cake!

          There were some very thought provoking comments in the past two days, and just now when I looked at our daily draw, it reminded me how things fall in to place just as they are supposed to.  We’ve talked about our Charts before and how we map out the things we need to learn and the people we agree to meet up with again in this life.  I think it’s also good to remember that we are going at our own pace.  We learn the lessons we need to when it is the right time.

          Here’s the card, from our Healing with the Fairies deck.   I’ll give you what Doreen says about this one, then we can talk about it some more.  

“Inner Power  ~

You are now allowing yourself to experience and express your true power.  The fairies ask you to affirm, ‘it is safe for me to be powerful.’

You have within you the power of the Universe.  No one is more powerful than you.  As a spiritually minded being, it is impossible for you to misuse or abuse your power.  Your guides will show you opportunities to use and expand your power in ways that bring great blessings to you, your loved ones, and the world.

Heaven needs the lightworkers of the world, including you, to realize and utilize their power.  By drawing this card, you are being asked to release any fears you may have about being powerful.  You are asked to keep your self-esteem high by honoring yourself, taking excellent care of your physical and emotional self, working on your dreams and aspirations, and spending time in prayer or meditation.  The higher your level of self-esteem, the more comfortable you will be with your power.

Affirmation:  It is safe for me to be powerful!  I have all the power of the Universe flowing through me and supporting me.”

           Well at least this time she didn’t advise us to go on a freaking retreat!  Lol, but she did remind us that we need to take those tiny quiet moments, the ones I keep talking about.  When you have just two seconds in a row, grab them.  Listen to what your Team of guides, and angels, and loved ones at Home, are telling you.  Listen for that encouragement.  We can all use it.  Tune in and take those spare seconds when you can. 

            This “Inner Power” concept is in so many of the books around the world, based on and taken from, different belief systems and religions.  It is about being one with the Universe (or what you call the gods, your choice of course).  Connecting with others and spreading good shit around.  No negativity, no excuses.  Simply acknowledging our Power.  Saying our Thank You’s for the blessings we have and looking forward to bringing more into our lives.  State the positive, believe the positive, and we all will live in the positive.

         No jammie time for me this Jupiter-day (yes I am going with the French version of names as related to the planets, not the Greek or Roman gods, they are not my favorites).  I had erranding to get done.  (After I dealt with the court folks again, they called, wanted Dan to maybe show up again.  I made the executive decision to phone one of the officers involved with the case.  When he called me back he said, “did you wake Dan yet?”  I said, “no.”  And he said, “good.  Don’t.  We won’t be needing him after all.”  See?  I am really wonderful at being Mrs Witchy Cop’s Wife.  I went with my intuition, I listened to the advice I was being given, and I stayed positive.)

         Look at the very important and valuable things I needed to pick up this after noon. 

           Remember how I was telling you that my hair was growing back?  Well, it’s clogging the shower drain.  Again.  (Hmm, wonder if that has anything with me not brushing it?)  Anyhoo, I also had to get some milk (can’t have my Apple Jacks or Lucky Charms for dinner if I have no milk) and a few snacks.  (The coconut M & M’s were for me, just because.)  J.D. is kidnapping his father tomorrow. 

              They are going on a Portland adventure for the weekend.  Even bought new suits for the occasion.  (Expect photographs.  But not from my camera, The Son and I have been engaged in text messaging arguments for days about this.  I can NOT let him have it.  How would I take our card’s pictures every day while they are gone if he has my camera?!  His phone will just have to do.  More timely that way, he can e-mail them to me then I can put them up, live!  As they are happening!)

          They will be gone for a couple of days, and when car traveling, they like to have stuff to snack on.  Dan likes sunflower seeds.  The place where we buy milk (local chain with their own dairies) sometimes has this brand that he favors, so I get them when I’m there.  I’ll be delivering some other treats to our boy tomorrow when I drop him off at the rental car place.  Just to make sure they don’t starve to death on the long (two hour) journey away from home.
