Time Enough to Write

There isn't much these days. Luckily, my holiday shopping will be sparce and I've done a lot of it. Our house is being loved up to entertain folks for our housewarming. Yay! I feel some creative energy sneaks through when I get to do stuff like that. It's not everyday, but it's good when it happens.
Did I mention that I started a writing group? Our second meeting is on Sunday and I am so excited. Although, I haven't really written the piece I wanted to write. It's in there though. It'll come out on Sunday morning, I'm sure. The group has grown to 8 people potentially and that feels good. I have been dying to write! I think we may have to do some homework or at least do stuff in between meetings. I need more exercises. I'm just happy to write.

I find that a lot of my creativity is coming out in dance class and in cooking. I spose I just need to be able to do many things so that the juice can flow however it wants to and doesn't have to wait for the right time. I am finding though that it would be nice to be able to sell some stuff right now. Clothes, housewares, etc. Just to have some extra cash. In any case, I am eager to just have a bit more dough for the credit cards. Not really wanting to clean houses, but sometimes I go there.

Got the piece I wrote on the Bush School published. Weird. I forgot all about that. I could do more stuff like that. Small stuff. It takes time but it's good for me to write stuff down.

Oh! Brazil was great. It was nice to be in the sun, even if most of the time, there was pollution between us. I still got burnt of course. I wonder what it's like not to put on sunscreen everyday. I must say that although I had a good time, I wasn't all that impressed. The traffic made an impression though. Warm, slow-moving people. Crazy language. We didn't do much else, which is fine by me, but it always makes the time a bit less enjoyable when there's nothing new learned. Mostly I learned about my own traveling habits and how they are changing. I think I feel less inclined to travel (the airport and plane rides are enough to keep me from going as often) than I used to. Josh's "great" job is no longer enticing in terms of travel. He likes it fine, but I'd rather go to the places that I want to be in, rather than simply travel because he is there. It's a weird thing. I think I just know what I enjoy and I like to keep going back.

I had fun with my friends Stan and Lauren though. It's always better with friends. I should have spent more time learning Portuguese. My bad.
