land of litotes

I did not now what to call our new vision land thread. Always wishing to imagine and roam I picked a word from random in the dictionary, cause I did like AT ALL the description they had for visionary. Hence we are the land of litotes. Where the quiet messages are found for those who look for them that vision of farness beyond the self bringing greater insight, intention and bearing into ones own life and into all things.

Sounds like you are doing fantastically well fairy, really good that you can eat salad when no one else is, lots of brownie beetroot points i reckon, even though you laugh at old people

hellloooo, long time no posting. how is everybody? have only just realised that not only have I missed my friends in cyber-space but in rl too at a get together, I am sooooo jealous.

thought I would take a rare nap time to come in here for some pampering and rejuvenation. little max (DS2) at 1 month is both nocturnal and a milk monster (feeding from 3pm onwards). ds1 however still thinks I have the energy to hokey kokey, bush walk and generally play like a 4 year old. so in here, I am not sleep deprived, I am full of life, swimming in the pool, breathing in the fresh air while walking through the woods, I have had my nails manicured, hair cut and legs de-fuzzed. As the day draws to a close I am on my way to the deck to watch the sunset over the horizon while ds1 and 2 sleep soundly after an exhausting day in the creche.
aaaahhhh if only...........
hopefully catch up with you all soon xxxx

Hi Sibble - lovely to hear from you and glad everything is going well. Enjoy that chocolate cake!!

morning melsy... non msn?
I am here for only a very short while as I want to go and sit at the work area I have made from myself so that I can do some writing, doodling and procrastinating. It is away from the computer so that I don't always get distracted.

Helloooo melsy and paps - paps, you are very inspiring - I should get off my backside and do some bits and pieces but am too busy being on MN and feeling wistful that I don't get to come on in the evenings anymore.

melsy · 07/09/2004 09:05

just coming on msn girls ,was looking at cake pages on google

earlygirl · 07/09/2004 09:22

glitterfairy · 07/09/2004 09:27

Paps am going to be working at my table in teh kitchen today but will be peeking on here every now and then. Have a report to write which is due Thursday! Panic!

IN here however I am off for a pedicure and some massage and a facial and a tanning day in the summer room where the air is heavy with the scent of roses and lilac and orange blossom. I will be drinking cooling juices freshly squeezed and eating some of that chocolate cake with a bar of marzipan.

fairyfly · 07/09/2004 09:28

fairyfly · 07/09/2004 09:31

just a quick swerve into litotes before going back to my desk like a good girl... hi glitter we could put our tables in the forest clifftop that looks out over the lake. Perhaps then we and the view could inspire each other. Hope that deadline does not make you quiver all over. Btw I am INFP or rather was yesterday but who knows wot I am today... i evolve at such a pace that it may change according to inner states and self survey.

I want a poncho too of course now that everyone is getting one... but I think I will put a request to my Mama for her to knit baby paps and me matching ones.. don't think dh will be keen on one though!!

I am a metal dog ff not a mental one
