iamomB and I had a nice, long weekend together. (I pretty much took Friday off to be with her - I'd waited in vain for feedback and some needed information from the head office since Wednesday night, and since I never heard a peep from them for the rest of the week, I didn't feel bad for blowing off my day on Friday.) She came home Thursday night and then left again this afternoon for another 2-week-long trip. I really started to miss her after the first few days last week, and I'm sure I'll miss her lots while she's gone this week and the next, also. I've really been enjoying the time we've been spending together, and we talk several times a day even though she's away. That's one of the perks of having a toll-free phone number for work - she can call me from anywhere, anytime.
I've also been having some fun with our new digital camera. The damned thing has 10x optical zoom! I love it. (There's a review of the camera here if anyone's interested.) I haven't even installed the software for the PC yet, but when I do, I'll probably post a few pics in here. The late afternoon light here, about two hours before dusk, is really beautiful. I've tried to take a lot of pictures at that time of the day. Man, I'll have to try and be discriminating once the baby is born, or we'll have an archive of a million pictures, you know? It'll be nice to have them in electronic format, though - it'll be a lot easier to organize them and keep track of them. I don't think my mom has finished organizing my own baby pictures yet! lol
I had some fun reading some enlightenment stories that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

nonduality community today. The founder of the site in question is also asking for personal enlightenment stories, preferably first-hand, which I'd really enjoy reading. I'm quite smitten with stories and discussion about real-world, real-time enlightenment with ordinary people. Enlightenment's not only for swamis and people with East Indian names - it's nice to see something that tries to take a bit of the mystique out of it. (lol - I don't know if that's what he's really trying to do, but still...)
I also had a field day with Morpheus this weekend. I made 4 new CDs for B's drive today, and also brought down a ton of new stuff for me to listen to. Lots of new drums and bass, jungle, and various hip-hop. I just can't seem to get enough of that stuff right now, and I also can't seem to listen to it loudly enough. Apart from the general feel of the music, which I love, I also like how modern it is. I've been frustrated by jazz and classical lately because it's just so old. I can always appreciate it for what it is, but it doesn't reflect what anybody's doing right now, and it's what's happening right now that's the most interesting for me.
Off to bed - the clock says 10:30, but it feels like it's almost midnight. I also woke up pretty early this morning. There was a beautiful sunrise, as usual.
