Peg Kerr's Journal

When I learned about the karate scholarship last week, I did a tarot reading. The results were certainly in line with my good news:

I did the Setting A Goal Spread: What do I need to know about going for black belt? I used my Jane Austen tarot deck and decided before doing the spread that I would ignore reversals. ( Setting A Goal spread )

This reading definitely suggests "Go for it!"

Comments are welcome, esp. about the Temperance~Strength/Justice~Weakness dichotomy. Thanks.

Thanks again to carbonel, who out of the goodness of her heart arranged a little get together with friends last night so that Peg could escape the confines of her house for one evening. We went over to Lois McMaster Bujold's where we were joined by 1crowdedhour and Pat Wrede. A happy evening was spent eating nibbles and discussing books and summer plans. I was noble and had only a thimbleful of the raspberry wine, even though it was OMIGOD the best stuff ever and I would have loved to have swilled an embarrassing amount. You were teasing me by bringing it, carbonel, but my surgeon would have certainly have looked askance if I had mixed it with the Vicodin.

I received my copy of the Tarot of Jane Austen today, which I received with a gift certificate someone gave me, and I am happily perusing it. I love it: it has a Love and Friendship (should that be "Freindship"?) spread and a Sense and Sensibility spread, among others, in the accompanying book.

I got your package, madlori! Thanks! No, I don't have a copy and am definitely looking forward to reading it.

This afternoon, we are heading out to my sister's in Minnetonka for a high school graduation open house for my nephew. I plan to obtain a plate of my sister's highly edible munchibles, find a chair, and not move for the entire time we are there. I am feeling a little shaky this afternoon, but I definitely don't want to miss Steven's celebration.

Enjoy the weekend, all.
