Rose Quartz and Sleeping In

Today has been a very lazy day and I think I needed it. Most of this week, I've been sleeping late and just not feeling rested. So this morning, I slept until I woke up, this ended up being 2 in the after. I think it helped though, because I'm feeling rather more here than I have lately. I ended up missing the Farmer's Market but I had a nice wander around town.

Now those of you who've met me will have noticed that I always have bracelets on my left wrist. Not too long ago, two of my bracelets broke and I was just left with one that I bought not long after I moved to Ann Arbor. I've been feeling like it was time for another one and oddly a guy selling books on the Main Street inspired my purchase. I didn't have the change to buy a three dollar book so I wandered into one of my favorite stores. They have two rose quartz bracelets that have been catching my eye but they didn't feel right.

So I crossed the street to this store that has jewelery, tumbled stones, I love it and I'm always finding things there. It turns out that this was the right choice, I found the perfect rose quartz bracelet and some already drilled strawberry quartz stones on sale that I'm going to make into a necklace.

One reason I love rose quartz is because it reminds me and connects me to one of my grandmothers, the one I knew best. She lived in Northern California and had this beautiful garden and she was my grandma. For most of the summers when I was growing up, we'd spend two weeks visiting her and the rest of my mother's family out that one. I have a beautiful rose quartz necklace that she bought in Hawaii and loved. So I was thinking a lot about that when I picked out this bracelet.

Now for another iteration of the five questions meme, this time from camwyn.

- Leave a comment saying "ORANGES" (or any other fruit of your choice)
- I'll respond by asking you five question.
- Update your journal with the answers to your questions.
- Include this explanation and offer to ask other people questions, if you so choose.

1. Congratulations, the FCC has decided for some reason that you get to write their definition of 'offensive or obscene' material as it pertains to prime time television and/or FM radio. What do you tell them?

If your ten year old was watching this, would you feel comfortable and could you explain what's going on it to them?

2. Someone has just discovered a trove of lost or never-before-seen material written by one dead author or poet or playwright with whom you are familiar. Whose body of work has the world just seen double in size?

This is a really hard one for me so I'm going to cheat and do one in Greek and one in English; Homer and Jane Austen.

3. What's your favorite mode of transportation?

Short distances, always my feet, but for longer, I adore sailing.

4. What area of study would you like to pursue at a collegiate level, other than whatever college studies you've already had?

This is a really hard one because I'm in the midst of my second master's degree. I'm sort of caught between two, studying just Homer or theater.

5. If you could change one thing about the human body, what would it be?

Stronger ankles, I hate how much mine hurt sometimes and how prone they are to twisting and spraining.
