We sold our house!
I don't have time to post more right now though, I've got to go proofread the 48 page conference program so I can get it to the printer tomorrow. Because you know, everything in my life has to happen at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME.

My Life's Work is Feeling Pretty Good
From Today's Daily OM:
Sometimes it takes us the better part of a lifetime to discover our life’s work, even though we may have been doing it our whole lives without necessarily realizing it. Our life’s work is not always what we do to make money, although we often think it should be, and sometimes this way of thinking prevents us from seeing clearly what it is. It may be the work of having children, caring for them, and running a household. The way we know our life’s work is by how we feel when we are doing it.
When we are doing our life’s work, we feel an uncanny sense of ease and alignment. This doesn’t mean that the work is always easy, and it doesn’t mean that it’s the only work we have to do; it just means that there is a conviction deep inside us that tells us we are in tune with our innermost self.
Here's my happy, innermost self sorting t-shirts for the conference. For me there's not a better way to spend my time than helping bring people together.

A Mother's Day letter
But some things have held steadfast and true. A good life, a blessed life, doesn't require money or status or things. What you gave me was so much more than any of these. I was blessed to have your unconditional love surround me from the day I entered this world.
I know I was baby #6. And I know that you never intended to have such a large family. (Thanks so much for the honest talk about birth control when I was a teenager by the way.) What I never knew though was anything but your joy and delight at my presence in your life.
My memories are filled with things like homemade goodies,
birthday parties,
and bouquets of fresh picked lilacs.
...you're not always right, but you're NEVER wrong. :o)
love,
Mary

Best Bacon Quote by a Vegetarian

"Believe me, if obtaining bacon didn't require slaughtering a pig, I'd have a BLT in each hand right now with a bacon layer cake waiting in the fridge for dessert."
From Meatless Like Me, in today's Slate.

The Perfect Storm
It was another one of those weekends at the cafe. Only this time it was because of Mom's Weekend at OSU instead of Dad's. I am officially exhausted from two days of doing dishes.
Me on Saturday morning.
Me ALL WEEKEND LONG.
Me after doing about 10,000 dishes.(Yes, I turned into a polar bear. It was really weird.)

Boy they sure showed us. Way to stick it to the small, independent business owner. I mean, really, how dare we take time to prepare fresh and healthy meals for hundreds of people at once.
I ended up giving away the orders to some other really sweet customers who were patiently waiting and understood how busy we were. Two tables actually shared a yummy waffle and ended up having a great time together. That was pretty cool.
Meanwhile back at the ranch the house sale moves on. We've had a couple of second showings and the first signs of actual interest. Keep yer fingers crossed.
