Leggings, tarot, 'zines and Plan B

[vanillafluffy]

A trip to Wal*Mart has yielded some great black denim spandex leggings---at least, that's what they called themselves. They're amazingly comfortable and they're long enough---I'm very tempted to hit every other W*M in the area to see if I can find a couple more pairs.

Next week after church, AI is starting an on-going class on the tarot. I read for myself, and have gotten good results, but I'd like to gain enough confidence to be able to read for others, especially since I've had requests.

With that in mind, and because I was ambushed by an attack of CUTE, I bought myself a new deck---The Housewives Tarot. I kid you not: http://www.housewivestarot.com It's all in the style of 1950s artwork, and the accompanying book is just a stitch! Even if I never read with them, they're going to be a hoot to pass around.

Also finished reading that Elizabeth Moon book while I was lurking around Barnes and Noble---was disappointed that the advisor was NOT who I thought it was---and I picked up the last copy they had of the latest ish of Belle Armoire, which is my very favoritest craft 'zine ever. (My 'zine stack has become incredibly schizophrenic of late: Belle Armoire, Hot Rod, Martha Stewart Weddings, Blueprint, Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion and Street Trucks. No dichotomy here, no sir!)

Vehicularly, I have moved on to Plan B: IE, I'm looking around for another vehicle I fancy. S & T have agreed that they're going to give me their Camaro, but they're still looking for its successor, so I'm charged with keeping an eye out for something for them on my travels. She wants a convertible for under $10K. He wants a truck for $4-5K. Uh-huh.

Plan B---because you're wondering why I'm looking for a vehicle if I'm getting the Camaro---the answer being, I'm hoping to use the Camaro as a trade for something better. That way, I'll still have the Honda, which is a known quantity. (I know it runs, at least for now, and I know how crapped out that Camaro is.) Hell, I could put it on eBay and get *something* for it, because there are plenty of people out there with money and more mechanical expertise than I have.

Best case scenario involves me finding something I like on the same lot as something that fits one of the requests I have...if I can bring the lot some business, maybe they'll cut me a deal.

Yes, my darlings, I AM an optimist.

Mostly.

I have that deck! I haven't used it to read; I bought it because it was fun. It, and the Gummy Bear Tarot.

I've heard about the GB tarot, but haven't seen it. This one just made me giggle and reach from my plastic.

*lol* That Housewives' Tarot looks like a scream!

The explainations they give for the cards in the enclosed book are hysterical. Usually, those booklets are the cheapest thing about a deck---a string of definitions on plain white paper in 6-point type...here, each card has its own page, with a picture of the card and a tongue-in-cheek exposition of the meaning in keeping with the theme.
