Ahhhhhhhhhhh, a clean office. That was my morning after I hauled my ass out of bed and drove back home. I meant to stop by and reserve a storage closet, but it was then that I realized I left my wallet somewhere. So, I drove back to my Scotsman’s house, wasn’t there, so I drove home and there it was sitting on the dining room table. Go fig. But, I do have the reservation, Internet shopping is a wonderful thing and I actually get stuff done while shopping (like cleaning the cat hair out of my office, along with the styrofoam popcorn that the kittens played with when I brought it home). But, I got to play with my boots last night, gonna have to send them back for a smaller size and once I get them, we have to alter the heel so I can have some chance of not breaking my ankle too badly while walking in them. Otherwise, they rock! I absolutely love them. Last night I was content to just lay on the couch in my PJ’s with them on while watching tv. *grin* Which brings me to another thing….
Has anyone realized that the Smurfs believe in some sort of afterlife? I was watching them this morning while eating breakfast and the episode they had one was the one where Grouchy and Jokey disappeared with the hag in the woods. Papa Smurf gave them up for dead and the hag let them watch the ‘funeral’ through her crystal shard. It was quite interesting because they are more nature oriented than anything else (Judeo/Christian/Islamic contrast with Pagans anyone?). The funeral consisted of throwing two flowers into a river from one of their bridges with a eulogy that spoke of life being like a river and constantly moving and changing. And with that moving and changing comes the change of life into death. I found it quite interesting, though, the concept of the Smurfs are interesting anyway. They live in mushrooms, within a city that disappears, there’s only one female, and all the other characters have names from Judeo/Christian mythos/histories.
