Happy Homecoming Haul

[qos]

I returned home today to find a few days worth of Amazon.com shipments:

Season One of Remington Steele, one of my all-time favorite tv shows

The Tiger in the Well, book three of the Sally Lockhart trilogy (Thanks to the Divine ladyvivien for turning me onto these!)

Star Wars Empire: The Heart of the Rebellion, a trade paperback collection of the Dark Horse Star Wars comics featuring Princess Leia, spanning the time from just prior to ANH to just prior to TESB.

The Senses Bejewelled, by Cleo Cordell, the sequel to one of my all-time favorite erotic novels.

Where to begin??!!

Oh yeah. . . with my home. Lots to report on there, in the area of coming to terms with my home, and accepting the importance of being a homemaker. Of putting away my childish resistance to being like my traditional-role mother, and accepting the fact that if I don't do those home-maker-type-"things" no one else will. Of honoring the importance of Home, something I've been priveleged to take pretty much for granted. It's going to be a slow process of integration, but I think I'm starting to make some progress in the area of my internal issues. After all, no one has ever said that it was all I could do, or all I should do. But it's becoming increasingly clear that it is not something I can continue to ignore or treat in a haphazard fashion.

I think that's a really good decision to make, and I admire you for it. Making a home is important, maybe one of the most important things we can do. It's taken me quite a while to realize this, too.
