Mini-Rowdy-Moose is here! Sorry, like I said, no access at home right now. Everyone is doing great! He's a really good baby. The moose down-sized to arrive on Friday at 3:36, weighing 7lbs 13oz and 20" long. Labor was fairly uneventful, but I still don't recommend it... BTW, everyone, thanks for the well wishes! As soon as I have more time, I will post a pic. He's adorable, but I'm biased. And also.... Tara is my IC! Finally got her ass on here and said she was biting her tongue to keep from spilling the deets.

Erica, I just checked the site you linked...If this isn't just made for Rowdies, I don't know what is! I think we should all meet up in Boston to assist sister Erica and get us some culture, sounds like it would be worth the trip...especially for the "naughty late nite performances." Seriously, wish I was closer to Boston. Well done, Erica! ;)

Erica that's awesome!! Good luck.

Okay, folks. Weekend before last I was in St. Louis, doing massage on the performers and selected volunteers of StrowlerFest. Now, the organizers are flying me out to Boston the weekend of 10/10 for the next event in the series, StrowlerCon.

Any Rowdies out in that direction? Also, I'm going to need to borrow a massage table (and chair if I can score one as well!)--anyone able to hook a sister up?

Thanks for all of the advice... Lisa I appreciate yours..I tend to be rowdy occassionally (hence the joining of this group!) But I have been putting myself behind a filter for a while( thanks Marilyn). None of it comes off as "preachy" and yes I have experimented with alot of it. It helps to be reminded of things that work and also that I am not the only one who experiences moments that make me want to scream..I enjoy loud rock music, beer and wine! And I also will set aside time to just be...once again thank you all and I love that there is a group like this to give support. =)

Oooh...Whiskey! Donna, you speak my language. Laphroag is my favorite. Count me in. BUT, as I have a full day booked and it's only 9am, we'll talk. The good stuff is best saved for the weekend..or vacation. It occurs to me that I must also sound like a lush ~ sadly, no. One is my limit and then I'm asleep. Trust me, it's for the best.

I kep checking in to see if there's word from Marissa. **sigh** Happy thoughts and prayers to you & your babe, M.

Loving Ty's new do! How many think she should go all the way and go red?

Well folks, I spent the last few days clearing energy, clearing space and cleaning. I bought some sage, could not find any sweet grass and smudged the room. I used Ty's method with the feather and found that works for me. Something about the burning sage in a treated wooden bowl and using the feather to dissipate the smoke was soothing and relaxing, appeals to the Apache and Cherokee in my blood and spirit. I now have a lavender spritz to use in between sessions that helps removes any funky feelings that may be building. Thank you all so much, my room feels comfortable again.

I also spent time doing some soul searching and clearing of my mind and spirit. Last week was a doozy, but I also realize that my scattered frenzied mind did not help matters. Sometimes you just have to stop and be...a wise friend recently told me. ;)

Tara, lots of good advice here, try all and find a variation that works for you.
I have to marvel at our similarities. I too tend to scream ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Dance around the room to very loud rock music and of course consume chocolate. So interesting to see others doing the same. :)

Sam, I am so sorry about the foot! That sucks!

No moose report yet? Marissa, thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

Lisa! So nice to see you back. I may be down in your area after the first of the year. Of course the DFW area is huge! LOL

Marilyn, 'Well...Putting my rowdy side behind a heavy filter for a minute' made me laugh. I suppose that we all have to drag out that heavy filter for the real world from time to time. I am so thankful for the Rowdy board, where all forms of rowdiness are accepted. :)

As for wine, perhaps it is that I have just never had a really good wine, but I have never acquired the taste. However, if you have a whiskey or tequila tasting party, I am all over it!

A wee bit of merlot being consumed here...very wee bit. This afternoon I had one massage and then did a very cool Reiki session, so I'm already about as mellow as I can get tonight, and energized as well. Gotta love when that happens! Actually, the treadmill is calling my name....and then I'm liking that bubble bath idea a whole lot.
Comment by Lisa on September 21, 2010 at 5:17pm
speaking of detoxing...i think tonight i'll take a hot bubble bath and enjoy a glass of wine. (ok ok so there seems to be a wine theme developing) :)

Last time I screamed was in my car in the parking lot of Target...when it decided for the umpthteen time that it wasn't going to start. It sounded like this:

ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME????!!!!!!

It was preceded by a good pounding of the fists on the steering wheel.

then I looked over at my son and said...sometimes honey, even mommy's just need to vent.

The walk home with groceries helped to calm me down. :)
