It's Spring and time for growing....but I have to tell you, I am a little tired!

All of this growing and learning and sharing has left me a tiny bit speechless...and cranky, but just a little bit! I hope you have some relaxing and fun plans for this weekend and that you are able to fill your time with family and friends....OR snuggle in all by yourself, whatever suits you!

As for me and my life right now, it is sort of like an Easter Egg hunt. I am roaming around...the great big front lawn...there are secrets and treasures that I find and delight in. I feel the excitement of springtime and I enjoy the daffodils and lillies poking through the mulch, letting me know that beauty is coming. My birdies have made it back from wherever they go in the winter and thier chirping wakes me up early these days! The robins are all yakking about the nests they are building and yes, they are bitching that I moved the bird bath alittle further from the tree...the bluejays are interrupting everyone's chirping as if it is an urgent thing that they have arrived. They have a piercing tone and I call back to them "fine!"...they have their own houses along my fence line, as you may know, they are not too hospitable.
 
I feel like finding a new Easter dress and re-enacting my little girl days, where my mom found me a pretty pastel dress with a little matching coat and shiny new shoes...it's okay that we will shop the sales only today...since senior prom, senior beach week, graduation and 18th birthday parties will be draining the bank of mamie in the next few weeks. I never knew we were poor when I was little so I surely don't care about that by now! :)) Oh, and a bonnet, does anyone wear an Easter bonnet anymore? If I can find one, I will have it!
 
*Satisfied sigh....have a great day, my friends...and a blessed Easter if you celebrate...and a wonderful weekend ahead...my soulcast series will return as the processing continues. I have finished reading Tolle's book and have moved on to "The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent" by Abraham-Hicks. I invite you to join me in reading this if it seems interesting to you.
As always, I will share some thoughts on it when I return...from my Easter Egg Hunt! Hey Quiet: I found a pink one!! xoxoxox

    lol...i always take the kids out for new clothes and shoes for Easter mamie.  because my mother always did that for us.  it just always seemed the thing to do.
    and what Easter dress would be complete without the Easter bonnets?  lol....
    seriously, when they were little, my girls always had bonnets.  and sometimes even mom did!
     
    do you have dress barn stores by you?  that's where we shopped for our dresses this year.  they had some cute ones, and the prices were good.
    have fun at the sales!
     
    And Happy Easter!

    I've never heard of a Easter bonnet before. I have been feeling the spring too but it is cold today. Cold and bright You think the weather is good when you look out of the window and then it is like this.
    No plans for the Easter here. I will just be with my family as usually. Take car e Mamie and have a good Easter.

    Bessings to you :-)
  • Mamie said on Mar 20, 2008....
    thanks everybody!!
    Ed: thanks!! I am sending you a hug, you inspire me too, so we are even!! No luck with the bonnet, but I did get a great pair of peep toe taupe heels (slingbacks)...your wife should have a pair as well. *winking**They are...awesome!!
    Hey Secret: The sales were great and my daughter intro'd me to a new shop but Kohls had the best shoes...who knew Vera Wang sells in Kohls??!!
    Hi MeMy! I bet your energy is high today getting ready for the equinox? Or did I miss it?? There is a huge "energy" opportunity coming!
    My Visa card could use a new shot of that energy truth be told!! *smile while stashing receipts....
    Hi Skald! Well when I was little my mom would dress me up with a little dress for Easter and a matching coat and hat. The hat was called a bonnet, even though it did not have to be a real "bonnet"...I did not see any for sale anywhere today, so perhaps, it is only a tradition at certain events here now...like big horse shows and such! who knows?
    Thanks Batty! Blessings to you and yours as well!! xoxoxox

  • pickersplock said on Mar 20, 2008....
    My mom always bought me a new Easter dress and hat. 
    What wonderful memories you've dredged up, Mamie! 
    I still get the shopping compulsion this time of year!

  • quietone said on Mar 21, 2008....
    mamie ~ oh I am so glad you found that pink one!  :)  It was specailly placed just for you.  I do hope you have a wonderful weekend also.  I just ordered a couple books myself.  Now I will have about 3 going at a time.  I am excited too.
  • Mamie said on Mar 21, 2008....
    Hey Secret: the Vera line was pretty much sold out at our Kohls...but her shoes are great too! Yes there are plenty of choices for the baskets!
    Skald: I was picturing my bonnet to be a straw hat with a huge sunflower off to one side....very carefree and fun! Still searching, I have two days to look!
    Pickers...the only time I am drawn even MORE than spring to shopping is BACK TO SCHOOL...which is shopping that I still celebrate and I haven't been to school in a mighty long time:))
    Queen: thank you and same to you!!
    Quiet: enjoy the pinkness of the holiday weekend, here comes springtime, yay!!
     
    Off to visit my "mommy"...have a good Good Friday all...and if you observe this tradition, remember, no meat today!! xo, M
