I think I am terribly overwhelmed... I know I am feeling depressed, well I am, but it's not like I can take medication to help it, not with the Baby on board. I know I should be putting my coping skills in to effect, but when they are mainly physical, like running, and I just hurt all over, and am so tired, it's just overwhelming. The logical side knows that it's hormones and chemical levels that are out of whack. I have very little attention span what so ever right now, and no desire to go anywhere or do anything, I know I need too, but am so tired. I have mountains of fabric, but can't think of a single thing to create. I am just so overwhelmed.
On a good note, I did get to change around the Wild Sky Studio website, I think is really good looking, check it out... www.wildskystudio.net

Well... I am just 9 weeks pregnant today, and I am still have the crappiest nausea and pukes... I am also starting to look at the horrendous task of baby stuff... Do really need to buy a 600 dollar crib? I don't even know if I want a stroller, I do know that I am going to make myself a Maya wrap, they charge $50 for those things, but I can the materials for half that and have one put together in 2 minutes... not kidding it is really that easy to make one!!!
Well I do think that I would like to attempt cloth diapering, little bit less of an impact on the good ole' environment, little bit more work for Tim and me, but well worth it. Oh yeah, and my Lavender plant has not just started to bloom! little purple flowers...
While some people see rain as icky, it is nourishing our poor super dry Texas soil, yay! and Wild Sky Tribal will be practicing tonight, for sure, Sans Garry because he has to work....
Well, I am trying to get back on track, not that things have been bad or anything, just off. I am starting to do Yoga again, and really focusing on my dancing, mostly learning new and polishing the old moves. Also trying to get back into cooking more, much healthier!
Cheers!
Cheers!

SUN WORSHIP
Sonnet: Earth’s Only Sun
The central star of Milky Way- the Sun:
God made the sun for mankind’s sake on earth;
Around the sun, the earth is on her run;
Each dawn, the rising sun brings newer mirth!
Without the sun, the earth will turn all dark;
If not for it, the world can’t support life;
Sunlight sustains all life-forms up to mark;
Dense forests, seas, abyss escape its knife!
The ball of fire burns incessantly;
The core is hotter than one can think of;
Atomic fusion supplies energy;
Alas! A cloud can block the sun’s great laugh!
Without the sun, can life go on, on earth?
For sake of man, God gave one sun(Son) , its(His) birth!

In this new age of alternative energy, isn’t it interesting how solar power has yet to be mainstream? The sun is the most reliable, renewable energy we have available. The plants have figured it out. Isn’t it time that we figured it out, too?
So what do we know about solar panels? Perhaps a run-through of how they are made is in order:
Watch: How Solar Panels are Made
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYeynLy6 pj8
How Solar Panels Work
Sunlight hits the solar panel’s cells, creating a direct current that flows through the inverter, converting the direct current into an alternating current.
The alternating current then flows directly into the site or into backup batteries if they are available.
Photovoltaic cells make up the core of the solar panel. The cells are made up of at least two layers of semiconductor material, which is usually silicon infused with boron and phosphorus. One layer has a positive charge, and the other has a negative charge. Sunlight strikes the panel, where the photons from the light are absorbed by the semiconductor atoms, which then release electrons.
The electrons flow from the negative layer to the positive layer, producing an electrical current.
There are different types of solar panels, which can be read about here:
http://www.solarhome.org/
Solar panels can be very efficient. It is a wonderful way to free yourself and your family from the ‘grid’.
So why hasn’t everyone chosen this course of action?
Usually it is because of the initial investment. You will save money in the long run, there are no doubts there. It is just a matter of taking the financial plunge into the solar world. It is truly a no-brainer…the sun will be around for a long time and solar panels may change in makeup, but will not go out of style anytime soon.
There are even do-it-yourself kits for the financially skittish:
http://solarpowerkitsreviewed.com/solar panels101.htm
There are so many reasons to switch over to solar power. The environmental effects of nuclear energy and the burning of fossil fuels can be devastating. Examining the big picture, you will save money. You can free yourself from the grip of ‘being on the grid’. In essence, you can help make the world a better place.
Even switching over to partial solar is helpful. Perhaps hybridizing your home or office is the best short term solution.
When some complain about the sun not always being out, such as at night, on cloudy days, etc., I reply simply, ‘The sun is always shining somewhere.’ Dodging looks of cynicism, I remind myself that great changes always start in the same place: with an idea, and with a continuing belief in that idea.
If you haven’t gone solar yet, perhaps now is the time to investigate your options!

Make Room For Changes, Because They Are Coming!!!
Well luckily it didn't happen, but we had an interesting night last night. The evening started as it usually does, a run with the guild on WoW, however, this night was different.... All of the sudden, Tim and I smelled a terrible electrical burning smell. Of course we jump up and try to find what the issue is.... well, our furnace seemed to malfunction, and if we didn't catch it, probably would have burned our house down! but we are ok... and trying to get it fixed
Today, well particularly this morning, I have felt like crap. It's not physical, just totally mental, or I should more say hormonal. I know it's just the chemicals being a bit off, but it still takes me out of action.
I brings me back to when I was not on top of my game, but the difference now is that I know it's not the end of the world, just chemicals being off. I am going to go and do something, keep my mind busy.
I brings me back to when I was not on top of my game, but the difference now is that I know it's not the end of the world, just chemicals being off. I am going to go and do something, keep my mind busy.
That is all I have to say....
Well I have 15 people for my beginner's series, that's pretty cool! I need to get some stuff straighted around for Saturday's start date, but other than that it's going to rock!!!
WOOT!
WOOT!
Yes my friends, one of my beginner's series I teach is almost full for the first time, there are 13 students registered, and it's totally awesome! that is all I have to say
Ok, one of the place I teach dance at, is a really nice place, the people are nice, the studio is nice, etc... however, the owner is an R-tard, I swear! She had me so worked up, that I was ready to stop teaching there. She take 3 months to process what I said, and is a flake too! It's not that I don't like her, she is just slow...
So I am still teaching there, and doing the TV interview, but she has to wake up and start thinking faster.
