Mandala Madness

Mistaya in the wig she wore to school yesterday–just because she’s always wanted a fushia bobbed wig.
She looked adorable heading off to school. I am so proud of her. A chip off the old block. I used to love to wear wild fashions to high school too. She had some wig lovers and wig haters she said.
Mist and Tabs are off at Piano lessons. M and I took Artemis and Pip to the duck pond after preschool–a lovely warm afternoon–the turtles were out.
I completed most of my Power Point this morning. I want to have all my assignments done for this class by mid November–that is my goal. Then I’ll work on my ethics proposal and thesis plan.
Tonight I want to go over our budget with a fine tooth comb so I can take it over in its entirety. I’ve done it before but my system was too time consuming. I am ready to simplify and try again.
 I can attend a Buddhist meditation tonight, but I might just get my budget done instead.
This weekend is the “Mountain Film Festival”–nature, outdoor sports films at the Kelowna Community Theatre–I think I’ll go. Also Miranda and I want to start an intramural floor hockey league on campus for faculty and grad students–that would be sooo fun! Trying to keep myself busy with fun things to do at least once a week–some kind of fun outing. Otherwise, I get in a rut of just doing chores every evening.
Friday night will be our sports night–we do a family sport, also Sunday.
 I am a compulsive schedule maker. It baffles my sister. However, my lists, compliment my life Mandala and keep me focused and dedicated to working towards my goals. And my goals are wide. Most importantly–just to be happy. And I have specific focused interests I pursue. They are: painting, writing,  Buddhism, and studying French as intellectual pursuits. World travel and a variety of sports for my adventure pursuits. Oh, the lists do go on and I won’t bore you to death. However, I only wanted to provide a glimpse into my mind and how I organize my life. When I meditate each evening, I go through my mandala in my mind and check to see if I am on track at working on all my goals. It keeps me sane and focused in life.
Tabs joined volleyball at school and is thrilled about it.
Mist says her English teacher is twisted. The things she tells me–I believe it! I wrote to her(the teacher) and she never even bothered to reply to my email. I will see her in person. She is occupying most of Mist’s thoughts with her perverse intent on bullying my girl.
Will call my sis Theresa to see how she is doing today–the poor dear is home with the swine flu!
Peter wants to take me out tomorrow night on a date. I shall go, cause damn, it sure beats last weekend! 😛
