I've tried, really I have, to write something interesting and insightful about choosing the perfect stone for talismans. I lost the document during a reboot. I thought I might amuse you with a silly quiz, but the one I thought might be the most fun - How Evil Are You - required me to give my mailing address before they would reveal my results. No thank you. So I find myself on this chilly, sunny Saturday filled with ennui and not a spark of inspiration to be found. At least I dutifully made my bed, tidied my apartment and did some laundry - I'm not a total lout.

Now, I'm off to take my new white jeans to the tailor to be hemmed. Yes, I'm short. But at least I am happy knowing that these are the skinniest jeans I've worn since I was in my early twenties and running several miles every day. My goal is to be hotter in my forties than I was in my thirties. So far so good.

I do apologize for the boring blather. To keep you happily reading until I can get back in the, erm, writer's seat, here are a few great posts I've found on my recent journeys around the blogosphere:

Slade at Shift Your Spirits writes about The Nature of Epiphany.

Spiders and Snakes and Deer, Oh My! is Dianne Sylvan's musing on animal totems.

Sera, the Spiritual Cowgirl, ponders our persistent need to ask the question Do You Like Me?

Hecate is pure inspiration for aspiration as she shares how Oddly, This (And By "This," I Mean "Everything") Appears To Be Working Out.

Deborah Oak at Branches Up, Roots Down writes about the state of Pagans in military service in the times that try our souls.

Le Cornichon at Bon Bons of Impertinence opines whether or not Jesus just hangs out and gives recipes for a Stations of the Cross pub crawl, N'awlins style, in the hilarious Jesus loves you - but only as a friend.

That should keep you busy until I can locate my brain and actually write something worth blogging. Happy Saturday! And don't do anything I wouldn't do (which gives you plenty of room, trust me).
