Trickster


The morning started with a beautiful sunrise and breakfast with a high school friend.  We solved some of the problems in the midwest, but you may not have noticed our efforts.  After breakfast I took my book of American Indian trickster tales to read while I was having my hair colored.  This was a wasted effort, and I knew it when I took the book into the salon because I always spend the entire time chatting and catching up.  Knowing this, I still took it because I really need to figure out what trickster tales I plan on using.  I only read a couple of pages (not even a full tale) while my color was being mixed.  When it was time to pay I set the book on a chair, so I could get my phone and wallet out of my purse.  Upon arriving back in Minneapolis, I realized I had left the book on the chair.

Immediately, I checked to see if there was another copy at the library.  No.  Next, I checked Magers and Quinn (the local bookstore). No.  The Barnes and Noble within walking distance was my next option.  Although they didn't have a copy, they informed me that The Galleria had a copy, but I should call first to make sure they still had one in stock.  Crap.  I called The Galleria location and was informed that they had one, and it would be waiting behind the counter for me.

M- It's behind the counter, right inside the door?
B&N- Yes.
M- I can come right in and pick it up.  Thanks.
B&N- Well, if there's a line, you will need to wait your turn in line.

Really?!  Thanks for the advice.  I wouldn't have realized that I had to stand in the line if there was a line.  1) I hate Barnes and Noble.  2) I hate the Galleria.  3) I hate Black Friday.  4) I hate ignorant people.  5)  I hate standing in line.  To be honest, I'm hoping that I can read and copy what I need and return it.  Is this bad?

I hope you got your book and didn't have to deal with much of a line, or many annoying people.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Demolition

The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars "Today I don't feel like doing anything I just wanna lay in my bed Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone 'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything." I am going to school with a thank you/apology note in hand. Yesterday I was "caught red handed" making illegal copies on the staff copier. It's not like it's the first time I've done it. It's not like everyone doesn't do it. It's not like I feel sorry about making the copies The problem is that I was caught, completely "busted". I watched the copy police (lovely lady) walk into make a copy and knew she would see the copies I was making and be upset to quite upset. "Shit," I uttered as I was talking to the secretaries watching her walk into the room. According to the copy police I am banned from the staff copier. Maybe I'll try to follow the rules for the next week or two. An ea...
